Gehring Knives--any opinion??

I recently purchased a paring knife from a 'end of line' store here in Canada called Winners (the store that is). The knife was made by a company called Gehring in Solingen Germany. The paring knife is forged with an all steel handle, it was $12CDN!

Does any one have an opinion on these knives. The paring knife seems good, at least as good as my Grohmann knives.

The Gehring web site is http://www.gehring-shop.de/default.php but it has little information on how the knives are made. I was thinking of picking up a couple more but was leary of the low price (an 8inch chef in the cult line is $29cdn at Winners).

So has anyone heard of these knives or actually own them? More importantly has any got an opinion??

Hey that's cool! I bought the same knives from the same place. I got a Bread Knife and a Paring and a Utility Knife. I've found that they're excellent knives... they use the same CrOMoVa steel as Wusthof... Those knives sold out REALLY fast.. i wanted to try and assemble a complete set. I dont like the factory sharpening on the blade.. the angle is too high. I redid the carving and utility knife at 20 degrees and they're even better. I went to Winners again recently and found that they got a carving knife and fork set for $30CDN... not bad but that's the only knife i didn't want... and they also had a paring knife and Cheese? knife combo for the same.

Which handle design did u get?

Yeah.. value for dollar they are great!! I would pick up the Chef's knife if i could.. but sadly i am located on Vancouver Island

The winners out here occasionally gets Wusthof's as well.. they had the 8' Chef's knife in Classic pattern which i picked up... keep your eye out for those too they usually sell out FAST here
