Nice Paring Knife

"This paring knife is nimble and great for small tasks, like slicing olives. I like the sheep's foot tip, and the handle is comfortable. Out of the box sharpness was OK, but it is a joy to use. I find myself reaching for it more often."

— Tom D. (5/5)

Perfect

"Bought this just for me and boy does it slice and dice. Love my new knife"

Indispensable

"Perfectly balanced little knife."

— Daniel H. (5/5)

Great handle; a little difficult to sharpen

"Perfect handle with its resting place for the little finger. Hard steel a bit of a challenge to sharpen, but, once sharpened, holds its edge well."

— Scott P. (4/5)

I bought this to see

"I bought this to see the quality because i am planing on buying other meridian elite knives. I have to say that this knife is great. It is very sharp (not super sharp out of the box but not much has been for me they all seem to be better after a few passes on my whetstone) if you know what your doing and does what its supposed to. The handle is perfect and it seems like top quality. I am planing on buying a chefs knife next since this knife is more than impressive. Other people at work always want to use it because it feels and cuts so well."
