No this is not a plug for Ron Popeil and his famous Chop-O-Matic of television legend, that entertained us in the '50s. But I have to say that this little Kuhn Rikon 4-Inch Nonstick Colori Paring Knife will live up to most of your slicing and dicing needs. It's a handy addition to any kitchen, and is a true kitchen bargain.
Purchased my first one of these a few years ago as an impulse buy, as it had been recommended by a friend who knew what she was doing in the kitchen, and had bought one herself for light general kitchen slicing. I never expected it to last for the price, but it did, and it's become a favorite even though I have other kitchen knives that cost far more.
These knives are very sharp, and are probably the best paring knives that I've had. They're designed in Switzerland by Kuhn Rikon, and have Japanese carbon steel blades, which are excellent for being sharp and staying that way. If you're so inclined you can use the green for vegetables, the red for meats and such, and the yellow for fruits. My first one, over two years old, shows very little wear on the non-stick color coating, and foods release from the blade easily.
For those of us who store out casual kitchenware in drawers, the plastic sheaths protect the blades and keep them sharp. And according to Kuhn Rikon, "putting your knives in the dishwasher is safe, but washing them by hand will extend the life of your knives over time."
But no matter who makes a knife or how well they may be treated, all knives are will need sharpening at some point. From personal experience, the Kuhn Rikon Mini-Pro Knife Sharpener handles that task very well, and it sharpens German and Japanese steel blades as well as nonstick coated blades. Just don't use it on serrated or ceramic blades.
In short, these Kuhn Rikon Colori Paring Knives are a good 5-star product, and an excellent value for the money. But let me close with the famous words from those infomercials for the Chop-O-Matic hand food processor from the '50s. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to show you the greatest kitchen appliance ever made... All your onions chopped to perfection without shedding a single tear."

great knife for not as good paint
I really like this knife! I bought it to use as a backpacking knife for the wilderness. It's lighter than most "backpacking" knives(even the compact lightweight ones) but large enough to filet a decent size fish and does that job well! I also love it in my home kitchen and it holds a good edge. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the paint is coming off. Where does the paint go? Have I eaten some of it?
