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.
I did not really think I needed a new paring knife. Boy was I wrong! I Bought this knife because they offered a good discount from the regular price. I thought it would make a good back-up for my trusty old Henkel paring knife and switch off when the Henkel needed sharpening. Ha! After using it for a couple of days, I’ve put the old Heinky in the “round-to-it “drawer and this new one is my new “go-to” parer. My hands are getting older now and they are getting a little stiff. This new Misen fits my hand better and more comfortably. Overall, a good buy for me.
The perfect pairing knife: just the right length, fits in the hand just right, just the right weight, holds an edge beautifully.
Seems to be an excellent little knife: comfortable in the hand and razor sharp. It gives every indication of solid construction, but the real issue will be how long it lasts.
I own a complete set of Misen knives and am completely happy with them. I saw a special on line and can always use another paring knife. Awesome addition!
Love all the misen products. This knife was a replacement for a knife I lost. It and came quickly, well packaged and ready to use.
