Mercer Culinary M22003 , Stainless Steel, Black, 3.5-Inch Paring Knife

These knives are brilliant. I use it everyday, its super sharp and comfortable to hold. It goes in the dishwasher everyday and hasn’t been affected in anyway even after months of use. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this.

Arrived nice and sharp, in a secure packet. Was able to peel an apple easily with a very thin peel. Cut through the stalk without much extra pressure, no concerns about a jump. One for larger hands in my estimation, and balanced well to the back. The handle will be keeping the fingers in the holding hand well clear of the blade.

Just the right size for my hands and is very sharp.

Really impressed. Nice ergonomic handle quite a wide grip feels solid. Cuts nicely, blade is nice and sharp. Just an all round good knife.

For the price, I am astounded by the quality of this knife. It is incredibly sharp, to the detriment of the ends of my fingers. Best pairing knife I've ever owned.

Good quality knife sharp blade with a sturdy handle fit for purpose! Highly recommend this product.

Great value and holds its sharpness well. Upon buying this knife I then purchased another in the lineup, so impressed was I. Recommended.

Awful knife, you can’t control the handle and the blade is too short…really uncomfortable to hold, so difficult to peel or cut anything, the blade missed the target and hit my thumb, a really bad cut….dangerous knife….don’t recommend it at all,..

Es fabuloso para la fruta y el aguacate. Es mi favorito

This knife is so versatile for everyday use. It can cut tomatoes, slice a bagel and cut up chicken to name a few. I've had it since late last year and the blade is still sharp. Just a good everyday knife.

Great knife, good whoght and hand feel. Sharp and super useful.

Muy buen producto, calidad precio excelente; muy funcional y cómodo, con filo excelente Lo recomiendo

I'd never heard of this brand, but based on the number of rave reviews, particularly those from professional chefs and restaurant staff, I decided it was worth trying, especially since I wasn't risking that much at this price. I am thrilled I did. I've spent far more on knives by top makers that were very good, but not as good this one at 1/4 (or less) of the price. It's mind boggling to me that this brand isn't better known. The handle is comfortable, ergonomic, fits the natural curves of the hand, the design facilitates knife work. I was concerned the knife might be heavy because of the size of the handle, but it's lightweight and well balanced. The blade is extremely sharp, but although I'm accident prone and don't have the best knife skills, I haven't had any of the mishaps I have with other similarly sharp knives. I've been telling everyone who'll listen what a pleasure it is to use this Mercer knife, how it makes food prep not only a breeze, but a joy. I truly couldn't be happier, not a single complaint. My search is over. I intend to make Mercer my brand, will order their other knives and will give this knife and others as gifts to friends and loved ones, assuming the other knives I plan to get measure up to this one. With Mercer's prices I can afford to share my wonderful discovery, and everyone should have a few really good knives. I've learned what a world of difference it can make, and in my opinion, Mercer is the very best of the best, but without the price tag you'd expect for this kind of quality. I cannot recommend this knife highly enough, and am grateful for Amazon and the reviewers, because I might never have known about Mercer knives otherwise. I would strongly urge purchasing a blade cover to keep the blade sharp, especially if you keep your knives in a drawer. I ordered some from Messermeister and am very happy with them, here's the link for the 3.5" that fits this knife, but they have a full range of sizes in the drop down menu: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D3HD25C/ref=od_aui_detailpages01?ie=UTF8&th=1
