Sure, this little guy is brilliant for delicate work like mincing garlic or removing the stems from a bushel of kale. But a paring knife is actually designed to cut foods you need to hold in your hand (rather than on the cutting board), like small peaches or strawberries. In fact, "paring" comes from the Persian "pari," which means air. And this one is indeed light as air. And razor sharp.

The Paring Knife is made with AICHI AUS-10 steel, which offers an even better balance between lasting sharpness and durability with 2x the carbon content of some other “premium” knives.
Our unique sloped bolster pulls double duty: the sloped shape encourages a proper “pinch grip” for comfort and control, while the bolster’s placement creates better access to the full length of the blade.
While most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees, we use more acute 15 degree angles for a noticeably sharper cutting face.
Very sharp, perfect weight, cuts like a dream. Quality product.
I have given Misen knives as gifts, have personally purchased Misen cookware so why is it a continuing surprise to rediscover the perfect balance and excellent performance of this latest knife for myself? It is a study in ergonomic perfection at a very accessible price. Well done, Misen!
I've had my knife for 4 years, two of them, and the skillet. I love their products and so was heartbroken when recently my goddaughter using it and the tip broke, bizarrely. I took a picture, sent it to the company explained what it happened. They could not have been nicer about it and replaced the knife at no charge. Love their products! Love their customer service!
Small knife packs a punch. Balanced, sharp, does the job!
Perfect size and well made! It is a beautiful knife and the white color is spot on!
