So far love these paring knives. Be careful they are sharp.
Verified Purchase
I have been really impressed with these knives. Great quality steel, stays sharp for a long time with some simple stropping. Make sure to clean and dry right after use.
Verified Purchase
Almost too sharp for a pairing knife! This is a well balanced knife that fits in our electric sharpener which is key for maintaining any blade. If you do a lot of small cutting or just like to use smaller blades this knife is for you!
Verified Purchase
This is a great little paring knife. Wicked sharp, and very sturdy as far as paring knives go. For the price, this really can't be beat!
Verified Purchase
This is a great little paring knife. Comes razor sharp out of the box, and it's made with a steel which can hold a decent edge.

This is one sharp little paring knife! It is nice and lightweight but works very well. It will be a great replacement for my old one.
I've owned this paring knife for about a month now and it isn't showing any signs of wear and tear. I really like the riveted design because the blade goes all the way through the handle. It makes the blade stronger on the end. It is comfortable gripping and I haven't had to sharpen the blade yet.
