Looking at picking up a good Paring Knife for a Christmas present. Something that holds a good edge and will last. Nothing Hollow-ground.
Wusthoff gets a lot of recommendations in various reviews, but a bunch of them are hollow ground - usually tougher to re sharpen. When I look at the descriptions of them on line, some specifically say they are hollow ground, but others make no mention of edge geometry. Also concerned with handles cracking according to reviews and wonder if they have a handle type that holds up better.
