Questions?

How long will this knife stay sharp?

It really depends on how often you use the knife, and what items you’re cutting. When tested in the rigors of a professional kitchen, the Misen knife outperformed brands that cost 30-50% more. However, no knife — including Misen’s — will stay sharp forever. When the blade starts to dull, we’ll have our expert sharpeners bring it back to its original glory for you, starting at $11/knife.
Does this knife require special care?

Misen high-end knives are extremely easy to care for. Avoid the dishwasher, wash and dry after use, and you’ll never have an issue with your knife.
What are your blades made from?

We craft our Chef’s Knife with premium Japanese AUS-10 high-carbon stainless steel for two main reasons. First, it’s a steel that offers an excellent balance between toughness, durability, and razor sharpness. Second, it has 2x the carbon content of some other “premium” brands, which helps the edge stay noticeably sharper for a longer time.
How can your knife be as good as other high-end knives if it costs so much less?

Most knives cost so much because of traditional retail markups and other fees. You’d be shocked to know how little many well-known “premium” knives actually cost to make. By partnering closely with our factories and selling directly to you online, we’re able to offer an incredible knife at wholesale pricing with absolutely zero markups. Better materials, lower price.
Does it make sense to buy one knife, and not a set?

The single most important tool in your kitchen is the chef’s knife — it’s the workhorse you reach for most often. Investing in one great knife now will change your cooking for life. We actually designed our chef’s knife to replace entire knife sets; with a 15º blade angle and hybrid Japanese/German design, this knife can do 99% of your kitchen cutting.

But if you’re interested in a set, we offer 3- and 5-piece sets including our other knives — including Paring, Serrated, Santoku, and Utility — in addition to the Chef’s Knife.
How does your warranty and trial work?

We’re 100% confident you’ll love your Misen knife. Confident enough to give you a 60-day in-home trial. If for any reason you’re not satisfied, just send it back for a full refund. All Misen knives come with a lifetime warranty against defects. We will replace any defective knives.

    Outstanding!

    The 3.5” paring knife is one of the best purchases I have ever made. The cutting edge is sharp and balance in the hand is perfect. I highly recommend this paring knife.

    Great paring knife, so I bought another!

    Great paring knife. I'm very picky about taking care of my things. My wife doesnt understand that it's not good to leave kitchen tools in a sink full of water overnight, which she does and has been doing for 50 odd years. So, I bought another paring knife that I keep separate. Same with the second 5" serrated knife I bought. They're really nice knives. I still try to watch out for the original knives... but I love my wife and accept her bad habits. I guess it could be a lot worse.

    They were excellent before; on closeout they're a steal!

    The Misen knives, in general, are very well made. The older AUS-10 knives, in particular, are made of a very hard steel alloy, so they keep an edge quite well. (These knives are prone to rusting, though, if not dried immediately after use. The new Accuto-440 knives are supposed to have solved this problem too, but I haven't tried them myself yet.) The paring knives are small, but they're razor sharp. Because of their sharpness and ease of use, I use them for everything I possibly can in the kitchen (unless the item is huge in comparison to the size of the knife). Now that these are on a closeout sale, the price is ridiculously low for a knife of this quality. Besides some larger knives, I've purchased 6 of these paring knives so far!

Why a Blue Paring Knife Is Essential for Precise Prep

A paring knife earns its keep on the small jobs a chef's knife handles clumsily—hulling strawberries, peeling apples, deveining shrimp, or trimming fat off a chicken thigh. This 3.5" blade is made from AUS-10 Japanese steel, which holds an edge longer than typical German steel thanks to its higher carbon content, so you're not resharpening constantly for delicate work. The sloped bolster gives you a natural pinch grip, which matters most on a knife you'll often use freehand rather than on a cutting board.

If you're building out a full lineup, this paring knife pairs naturally with a longer blade for bread and produce, like the 10" serrated knife, or you can start with a bundled option like the 2-piece knife set if you want both covered from the start. For cooks who prefer a rust-resistant option, Misen also makes this same paring knife in ACUTO440 steel.

Care is simple: hand wash, dry immediately, and expect to sharpen every four to six months depending on use. Skip the dishwasher entirely, and the blade and POM handle will hold up well for years.
