Ordered it last week directly from Victorinox and got it today, this is the plain edged version in red. Even though it's described as a liner lock, you close it like a Compression lock and the overall action is more like a slipjoint. The opening action is smooth with an audible click, closing you can feel a little stop (Pic #1) and spine whacks didn't do anything even though it's a very thin liner. I can't inertia or Spyderdrop the opening just yet, the blade is typical Victorinox and the blade flexes easily 5 degrees laterally. I hope Victorinox puts out the PE in the same colors as they do in the serrated version.

I've been thinking about getting these for no particular reason.
I can't find $75 worth of stuff I want from their site though. Do you know their shipping rate?
 
Hmm interesting idea. The vnox paring knives are handy little tools, but I guess I'll wait to see some long-term reviews of it as a folder
 
Ourorboros, I went and got the fastest shipping I could :p and it was $15.

I'd use this as a gentleman's boxcutter and at the moment, I don't think I would modify it for carry as a tactical folder.

I agree, it's not a paring knife. It's a sharpened spreader.

:) Yeah , I understand that there are "social problems " with functional knives !

Everything now MUST be super safe , harmless and PC . :rolleyes:

But how the heck do you carve out a bad spot with no point on your "paring " knife ? :confused:
 
The point of the VFPK is thin enough that one could possibly grind into a B. Beshara point.
As is, I was able to push the blade of VFPK 2" through the side of a cardboard box in a reverse grip to simulate thick watermelon rind with no effect on the lock. :thumbsup:
 
What's the point? lol

I'd rather use their fixed paring knife, and use a edge guard if I wanted to carry it safely.
I'm partial to the Vic fruit knife too, but then I also have kydex pocket sheaths for them :)

I'm also partial to a fixed blade for food prep , but my main problem with this knife is having no sharp point . :(:thumbsdown:

Something like this would be nice to throw in the lunch box to cut up a fruit or a sammich. Many times, I go with the family on on outing to a museum and put a few apples in the backpack. Not enough for everyone to have one apple, as the girls don't want to bit right off the fruit. In a case like that, a folding parer would be good. Something cheap enough that it won't be missed anywhere else, but with a thin enough grind that it slices food like mad.

Yes, put a nice sharp point on it and it's good to go.
 
If anyone is interested, somebody is selling there's in the For Sale section. :)
