Inexpensive paring knife

[Armenate]

I would like to purchase a couple inexpensive paring knifes for cutting up fruit, vegetables and any other small cutting tasks. I was wondering how inexpensive you can get this kind of knives and still have a decent knife. I have a sharpmaker and can easily sharpen. If I buy a set or individually are there any knives that I could get for under $5 that would be decent? I have about 3 paring knives with flexible blades that appear to be very cheaply made and they have worked fine for years.

the victorinox paring knives can be had cheap, and they do a very good job. Nice and thin, so they sharpen up fast.

+1 on the Vic paring knives, best $6 you can spend in a kitchen store.
