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.
The handle fits nicely in the hand. The blade easily takes on all of the paring you have, to do. Try it, you’ll like
it. When you start paring, you’ll look at the knife and say:”where have you been all my life?”
This is the 3rd one I bought, also other sizes. These knives are balanced, sharpen easily and stay sharp longer than most, a very nice weight!
I have a complete set of Misen kitchen cutlery, and the quality of the paring knife equals that of the other knives.
Everything about knife is perfect. We purchased the entire set in Red and besides our home kitchen we travel with this Red set because they stand out in a world full of dull black handle knives. Make sure to keep the boxes, they easily slide into luggage or a tote.
This is a well weighted knife which that great Misen sharpness. It fits well in your hand. Use it a lot.
