"Gave as a gift. My son loves it. Uses it all the time."
Same quality as all Meridian
"Same quality as all Meridian Elite knives. The straight blade did allow my knuckles to contact the board, but it will find it's place in my set. Would love to see some belly in the blade like the 6-inch custom utility knife I also bought."

Great knife! Razor sharp! NOT
"Great knife! Razor sharp! NOT made in China!"
This knife is very high
"This knife is very high quality and superb value. If you cook from scratch a lot it means you use your paring knife many times a week. The Meridian Elite is a beautiful tool you will enjoy for decades. Also, I’ve had another Messermeister knife for over 15 years which I used daily. It developed an issue in the handle and Messermeister honored their Knife For Life policy and sent me a new one. Great knives and caring service."
