Paring Knife 4 inch - Paring Knives Best Small Kitchen Knife Fruit Knife,German High Carbon Stainless Steel Ultra Sharp Peeling with Ergonomic Handle

I have been trying to build a quality kitchen knife set, knife by knife. So far, I have found several really high quality knives that won't break the bank, will give me the high quality that I am looking for, and that are easy to use and relatively easy to maintain. This paring knife fits that bill perfectly! I got 2 of these because my wife and I both use them (kind of a His and Hers thing). She cuts up lots of fruit, and I cut up vegetables - the perfect scenario for this knife! The knife is very well made, with the blade being a full tang blade. The handle is very comfortable to hold - I can use it for long periods of time without my hand cramping. The blade is stout, and razor sharp. The sign of a good blade is how long it will hold its edge before needing touched up - and this knife did a LOT of cutting before needing the edge touched up. The blade sharpened very easily, and maintains its edge for quite some time. I hand wash all of my knives, and this one is no exception. The knife has a beautiful wooden handle, and as long as you take care of the knife, it will last for many, many years!

This is a solid choice for a great paring knife - I would say you could consider this a utility knife. It is a hefty feeling knife and the sharpness out of the package was better than expected. Being a forged knife made out of high carbon German steel it is set apart from the junk you might get at a big box store. I look forward to having this knife in my daily use collection.

The excellent reviews here are spot on, even if the brand name - Aroma House - is not an obvious choice. This 4" parer checks off most of my boxes for what makes a great knife. The blade extends below the sturdy bolster, which makes it easy to sharpen from point to end. It arrived impressively sharp and after using it (lots) for 6 weeks, it sharpened right up with a quick touch-up on a simple steel. Everything about it is sturdy and built to last and it is quite attractive with the laminate handle. My tiniest beef would be that the design decided to have the butt end angled rather than flat. A great knife doesn't belong in the dishwasher and this makes the knife a little unsteady if you like to air-dry it upright on a kitchen counter. This is not going to deter me from buying several of these for holiday gifts for family because I cannot remember a better value in quality compared with price.

It is very sharp and does the job of cutting fruits and vegetables, the handles seem a little short, and I have to be a careful not to let my hand slide. overall it's a decent knife mm

Gorgeous knife with a sharp edge and remarkably inexpensive! Very pleased with how it handles when slicing veggies and love the look of the hankle. Plan to purchase the Santoku knife from the Aroma House.

Great paring knife. Super sharp, good size and weight. Definitely a deal for what I paid. Recommend!

The best knife!!! Very satisfied, I order one more.

As I used this last night I thought 'I've got to write a review for this' because it is absolutely the best knife I have ever had. I have other, more expensive, knives from the big names you've heard of, but I reach for this one every time. It has the right feel in my hand (balanced, I guess) and is still crazy sharp after 1.5 years. I see there are other sizes available now and I will be buying.
