KUMAParing Knife - 3.5 Inch Pro Bolster Japanese Profile Kitchen Knife For Detailing With Ease - Stainless Steel Vegetable & Fruit Knife With Ergonomic Design

Its a great pairing knife, good steel that doesnt corrode and holds an edge pretty well, it does dull somewhat quickly but I've never had a chip or any unexpected damage. It has a full tang and the scales are flush on the handle.The packaging it comes in is very nice too, so no worries about it being damaged in shipping.The laser etching of the logo is a bit deep which could be a concern for dirt, but not a big deal.My only pet peeve is the bolster extending to the edge which makes sharpening a bit more tedious.Over all I'd recommend this as a good budget friendly knife.

Size perfect. Sharp and sturdy.

It's the perfect size for smaller jobs. It's solid and sharp. Very easy to use. I haven't had it long enough to review how long it holds an edge. I'm happy with the purchase.

The knife is easy to use and of good quality. The only thing I would say is that it got slightly dull sooner than expected. Since it still work quite well, I would rate it 3-4 stars

Love the sharpness and ease of use in the kitchen at meal time!

I bought the 8" kitchen knife 2 weeks ago, and was so impressed with it, I recently bought this paring knife. These knives are the best ones I've ever owned, and the price is right. Shop around and see, there is cheap junk or Iron chef priced cutlery out there. These are perfect for any home kitchen prep. I recommend Kuma knives!

Very sharp!! Cut myself as I was drying it, before I even used it for the first time! Just what I wanted!

Not very sharp but good craftsmanship

Really nice workmanship and weight. Not too have not too light. It is really sharp out of the box so be careful. 70g vs 24g of my existing "toy" paring knive. I chose this in particular because other members of my family likes to leave things in the basin so I wasnt looking for the latest and greatest, but the most durable that stay sharper longer and easiest to sharpen.There is no knive that fits all, thats why i see chef keeps their own personal knives to themselve because those are what suits them and they do take care of them as partners in their trade.
