Where I come from, this type of knife is called a “Hümmelchen”, which always really confuses my friends from northern Germany :) I have known them since childhood (with wooden handles) and am very happy with the plastic-handled knives. They can simply go in the dishwasher and that's that. I use them to cut almost all my fruit and vegetables.

"Hümmelchen"
Bei uns heißt diese Art von Messer "Hümmelchen", was meine norddeutschen Freunde immer sehr verwirrt :) Ich kenne diese seit meiner Kindheit (mit Holzgriff) und bin mit den Messern mit Plastikgriff sehr zufrieden. Die können einfach in die Spülmaschine und gut. Ich schneide damit fast alles an Obst und Gemüse.

Great sharp knives

I like the colour and shape, and the fact that the knife isn’t enormous. I used it to cut potatoes and vegetables, which worked well. It is quite sharp, so you have to watch your fingers.

Scheidet gut, sehr handlich
Mir gefallen die Farbe und die Form und dass das Messer nicht so riesig ist. Ich habe Kartoffeln und Gemüse damit geschnitten, was gut geklappt hat. Es ist recht scharf, man muss auf seine Finger achten.
--- even for cutting a circle in the middle of a cauliflower to quickly separate the florets, the giant kitchen knives stay in the drawer. My favourites for these cutting jobs are sharp & quick---not for small children. I find the curved shape practical to use. Need replacements every 4-5 years.

Leichtere Finger-Arbeit für die harten Zwiebeln und " Knobläuche "
--- sogar für einen Rundschnitt in der Mitte des Blumenkohls zur flinken Aufteilung der Blumenkohl-Röschen,bleiben Riesen-Küchenmesser in der Schublade. Meine Favoriten sind für die genannten Schneide -Arbeiten scharf & schnell---nichts für Kleinkinder .Die gebogene Form für mich ein praktischer Vorgang.Brauche alle 4-5-Jahre Ersatz.
Both knives are completely blunt! Something like this from Solingen simply shouldn't happen. But that also explains the price of €3 including shipping; you can't expect anything at that price. Not recommended.

Messer
Komplett stumpf alle beide Messer! Sowas aus Solingen kann einfach nicht sein. Das erklärt aber auch den Preis von 3€ incl. Versandkosten, da kann nichts bei raus kommen. Keine Kaufempfehlung.

A good paring knife

I bought this peeling knife recently and am generally happy with it. It is sharp and does its job well. However, I would have liked a little more weight and stability. Still a good product.

Gutes Schälmesser
Ich habe dieses Schälmesser vor kurzem gekauft und bin insgesamt zufrieden damit. Es ist scharf und erfüllt seinen Zweck gut. Allerdings hatte ich mir etwas mehr Gewicht und Stabilität gewünscht. Dennoch ein gutes Produkt.
I've been using this paring knife for a while, and it's simply excellent. It's very sharp and comfortable to hold. Peeling vegetables is much more fun now. I can wholeheartedly recommend this knife!

Hervorragendes Schälmesser
Ich benutze dieses Schälmesser seit einiger Zeit, und es ist einfach hervorragend. Es ist sehr scharf und liegt gut in der Hand. Das Schälen von Gemüse macht jetzt viel mehr Spaß. Ich kann dieses Messer nur wärmstens empfehlen!
A good, sharp knife that is neither too big nor too small. The 8 cm blade is ideal. It is also nice that you can buy the knives individually. You don’t have to buy 10 at once.

Gutes scharfes Messer
Ein gutes scharfes Messer, dass nicht zu groß und nicht zu klein ist. Die 8 cm Klinge ist ideal. Schön ist auch, dass es die Messer einzeln zu kaufen gibt. Man muss nicht gleich 10 nehmen.
The knife is well made. We ordered 4: 2 straight and 2 curved. All 4 are blunt. Peeling potatoes and apples was rather poor. Everything was fine after sharpening.

Verarbeitung gut aber nicht scharf.
Das Messer ist gut verarbeitet. Wir haben 4 Stück bestellt. 2 gerade und 2 gebogene. Alle 4 sind nicht scharf. Kartoffeln und Äpfel ließen sich bescheiden schälen. Nach dem Schärfen war alles in Ordnung.
I was completely convinced from the very first use. Not cheap rubbish. Sharp, handy and absolutely worth its price. As I said, my favourite knife from now on. I can recommend it with a clear conscience.
