Kitchen knives

Chicago cutlery. Full tang so you won't be breaking this one. Nice shape and thin enough to suit us.

Here's a second for Chicago Cutlery... I have a few of their kitchen utility knives on my skiff and they've performed very well in a harsh environment (and not exactly being used for kitchen type work...).

After catching my finance using one of my vintage Gerber paring knife to try to stab a can of tomato paste open and then washing it in the dishwasher. She also broke a vintage Henkel's by dropping it on the tile floor.

I ended up buying two of the Dollar tree individually packaged paring knives for her to use. Surprisingly decent blade once you reprofile the edge. I've put them on a magnetic strip on the fridge and acquired several of the larger sizes as well, so that she will stay out of the good blade drawer.

I tried to teach my sister to properly care for my array of kitchen knives.
(There was a time that I cooked for a living.)
No dice.
So she gets to use whatever came in a knife block at WalMart.

I've been looking for a kitchen knife with a "chiseled" (not serrated) edge to replace the one I have for some time now. This configuration was very popular years ago but I can't find one now. I liked them because the thin blade stayed sharper longer doing "kitchen" duties than most any edge I've had experience with. Anyone familiar with what I'm referencing?

I have a couple of the Victorinox paring knives and use them all the time. Highly recommended.

Look at Spyderco's kitchen knives as well. They're as thin as the Vics and have an interesting grip. The Counter Puppy is pretty neat too.

Dexter also has a line of inexpensive small knives that sort of mimic the Victorinox knives.

I picked some up at a restaurant supply store and they've held up well.

Pricey, but excellent.

One day, at the cabin, my wife grabbed one of my filet knives I had on the counter to wash.

That was years ago. Ever since, I buy every one of them of quality that I see used like at garage/estate sales and antique stores. They are her go-to kitchen knives now.

Just gots to be careful reaching into a sink clouded by dish soap and bubbles.

I just busted one of my wife's favorite paring knives. It was a Cattaraugus. We liked it because it was so thin.
We also have a few other cattaraugus kitchen knives. The french knife is sweet.

I would like some recommendations for a replacement.
Thin, less that 1/16"
Short, around 2"

I have a few Old Hickory paring knives that are really strong but a bit too thick.

I have gone to ceramic kitchen knives for paring and small tasks. The do not require as much maintenance, stay sharp longer and can now be sharpened if you get a sharpener. I generally get 4" but here's a 3" $14 (sets run $25 or so).
