Best paring knives on market(inexpensive and expensive)....

[lonestar1979]

I love to use paring knives,and find them more usefull than my folders in kitchen and around the house.My favorites are Victorinox and Opinel paring knives,although I have one Henckels ,Swibo and Wusthof knife.In my book and quality wise Victorinox and Opinel beat all of them with their 3-1/4 and 4 inch paring knives.What are other good paring knives,that are on par with Opinel and Victorinox,or even better that do not cost hundreds of dollars?I have seen Spyderco 4-1/2 inch utility kitchen knife,hos does that knife compare to Vics and Opinels?Any other good offerings?

I have heard alot of people love the shun classic parer. I have not used it myself but it does look to be just the right shape
