Kuhn Rikon - coloured paring knives

[Exploriment]

While shopping in a German specialty store this morning I found some coloured paring knives by a Swiss company called Kuhn Rikon. The one that grabbed my attention was an orange paring knife that is fitted with a very secure coloured plastic sheath, and a coloured blade. Given that some folks like brightly coloured gear, and that often most of the tasks performed with a knife are simple food prep, I figured this might be a decent option to try out. Reasonably priced and easy to find if it falls off the log you sat it on into the leaf litter.

A few other option as well.

I bought one for camping - I like the idea of a food prep knife with a blade guard, and it seems to be a decent little knife.

However, I really don't like the idea of a coloured knife in the home. I think it looks too much like a toy, and I think that they could be attractive to youngsters. If you buy one, please do keep it out of the way of kids (or make sure said kids understand that knives are tools, and should never be played with).

Cheers

I have one or two of these. They're quite good around the kitchen. Prefer a larger knife for most proper food prep though.
