Amazing Knife

So sharp lettuce doesn't know its being cut! Neither did the grape tomatoes. There's no pressure before the slicing commences - it's slicing on contact! But do be careful wielding this thing because you won't know it's cutting you until the blood starts flowing. It's safer to use a cutting board than holding both the knife and the item you're cutting in your hands. (voice of experience)Gorgeous and balanced. Definitely collecting more from this series. I'll replace all the knives I use regularly one by one on the budget plan. The wood blade covers are lovely and highly effective at protecting your fingers and that amazingly sharp edge.

Great looking knife!

I jumped at the chance to order and review this pairing knife. It comes with the knife itself, and a very nice looking sheath to keep it safe if you are storing the knife in a drawer. The blade itself appears to be Damascus and has an excellent feel to it. There is a mosaic handle pin as well which gives it a really nice touch. The knife comes very sharp - hopefully it stays that way!The price is a bit high, but I think you would enjoy this particular knife if you are in the market for one.My grading scale:5 Stars = Knocks it out of the park, PERFECT BUY!4 Stars = Excellent find, you should definitely give it a shot.3 Stars = It works and functions as advertised.2 Stars = A little scary, but do your research and it may work out.1 Stars = Avoid this product and look elsewhere.All of my reviews are based on actual use of the product. I do not communicate with sellers and I am not compensated for positive or negative reviews - they are as honest as I can make them.

SPECTACULAR! It's a work of art.

I put this through it's paces and made it peel apples, cut some overly ripe bananas, and then tried a few mushrooms and ginger. Not a great meal combination, true, but it's a great knife. It's a joy to use and even impressive to clean. The blade is stunning and watching it emerge from under a few soap bubbles gave me pause because it's like a work of art for your kitchen.For me, this is replacing a very well worn and well loved Wüsthof. Let me compare it to something like that for the amateur home cooks out there. A lot of paring knives have a sort of triangular front 1/3, then a rectangular 2/3 cutting edge. That means you're often having to decide if you're doing a task that uses the knife tip or something like peeling, and using something closer to the heel. For me that meant the knife tip would go dull within days. I don't know how else to say it, but this one is more like an arrow head - it's incredibly sleek throughout. I feel like no matter what little task I throw at it I'm more likely to run the entire blade through the slice, making both the cut smoother and the burden on the blade tip's sharpness lower. In other words, I think this design is going to last longer. It's also heavier, but not in the sense of being a burden to your palm; instead the handle is a strong counter balance as you cut.It's just a gorgeous tool. My compliments to the package designer as well - much like the iphone cases it feels like a waste to have to throw out the lovely box. The cool thing is this sharp and precise knife also comes with a magnetic sheath so it can be kept safely in a drawer where little hands might want to reach in. The tip and the edge are spectacularly honed and sharpened so I have no doubt it is a safety measure as much as anything else to keep it in its cover when not in use.

A Beautiful High-Performance Paring Knife, Don't Abuse It

This high carbon X – 7 Damascus steel paring knife arrived beautifully boxed, and perfect for gift giving to a connoisseur of knives. I chose this knife to be used by the chef in the family who has extensive knowledge of the best knives on the market. He was very impressed with the performance of this paring knife, and was happy to see there was a sheath included in the box to protect the Damascus blade.This knife has a Rockwell Harness Rating of 60, + or - 2, and is honed to a 16 degree edge, which helps to make this knife extremely sharp. The steel is harder than most kitchen knives, and certainly harder than inexpensive, "every day" kitchen knives. As such, this knife is especially well-suited for CUTTING, and is especially not well-suited for chopping, hacking, twisting, prying or dropping onto hard surfaces, like a porcelain or stainless steel sink. Take good care of this knife and it will perform cutting tasks especially well.Cangshan is a well-known name among chefs. A paring knife in a chef's kitchen as well as in a home kitchen is a definite essential. Not only is it used for trimming and peeling, but also does a great job de-boning. Our family chef put this knife through the paces, and it performed beautifully with every task.Not only does this knife perform well, and is made of high carbon steel, it also presents beautifully. The handle is a deep tone, sapphire blue in color and the knife itself has great balance. The forging of this item is excellent and the sheath itself is magnetic. There is no worry that this extremely sharp knife will come loose from the sheath.The Cangshan KITA 3.5 inch paring knife is absolutely outstanding. Because this knife is extremely sharp I recommend that it is only used by adults who know how to use a knife properly.
