A paring knife is an essential tool in the kitchen, and I researched a long time, and tried many different blades before I purchased this knife.  Love the way it feels in my hand, easy to hold and really feels like an extension of my hand.  Fits like a glove.
The blade stays nice and sharp, and is easy to maintain.  So far all I've had to do is hone the blade, and it is as sharp as the day I brought it home. Looking forward to purchasing additional knives from this line!
