Can anybody recommend a good paring knife for behind the bar? I have read so many reviews of paring knives that discuss mincing garlic and thinly slicing shallots, but since my knife would really only ever be used for citrus and perhaps garnishes, so I thought I would throw the question over to this over to the tiki people, since making tiki cocktails is all I plan on using the knife for.

I am looking at Opinel, Zwilling, etc. I really don't want to spend a lot, but am tired of using $8 knives that don't stay sharp, don't slice through peel cleanly, or become easily discoloured. I want to invest in something decent, but with that said, I also don't want to throw a wad of cash at something only to find out it's no better than something I could have spent $15 on; this is coming out of my precious rum budget after all!

If any one can offer some advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
