Paring Knife 3.5 Inch Damascus Paring Knife Small Fruit Knife Ultra Sharp Damascus VG10 Core Steel with 66 Layers High Carbon Steel Classical Pattern Blue Handle

Purchase this knife last year and it’s still very sharp highly recommend it,

Pretty and sharp knife.

I absolutely LOVE the knife and how sharp it is. I have used it consistently since buying it.HOWEVER, the only thing I don't like is that it didn't come with a full blade protector/sleeve. It only came with a tiny plastic cover for the tip of the blade.I sliced the crap out of my finger on the blade, even when I was trying to be careful.This knife needs a better protector/sleeve on it.

I was a little disappointed when I saw the Damascus pattern was so subtle. However the handle is comfortable and beautiful. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it has remained super sharp. I love it and am going to get another one but the larger size

Dislike: Insinuating knife is Japanese made with VG-10 core steel, but had a "Made in China" sticker on the box. Layered steel pattern is very pretty, but I can't tell if it's true or simply etched. Handle is beautiful, and the balance is excellent. Steel quality appears great, no blemishes or manufacturing errors. Beautiful and affordable blade. Came very sharp out of the box. Time will tell how the edge holds up, but so far so good.

I love the handle and it fits your hand nicely. It is a beautiful knife and very sharp.

Ordered it 2 times, both had the same end cap issue. One handle had split. Blade was heavy compared to handle and felt off balance. Sharp out of the box, but did not cut anything as it was Returned prior to cutting.Tuo Osprey - very large pairing knife. Felt awkward in the hand. Probably a personal preference, but was not for me. Sharp out of the box. Did not cut anything as it was Returned prior to cutting.Tuo Falcon - decent weight. Looked good. But the pins/ rivets in the handle were not flush with the wood. The edge of the rivet was sharp and made it uncomfortable / difficult to use. Sharp out of the box. Did not cut anything as it was Returned prior to cutting.Imarku - handle felt good, slightly heavier than the shun 85g compared to 62g. Blade length good, handle length is good. Sharp out of the box. Cut as easily as the shun. Time will tell how often this needs to be Sharpened. Kept.Fukep - looks great. All of my other knives have wood handles so the polymer is fun. Most comparable to the shun from a handle design. Good handle feel. Good weight 72g compared to 62g. Sharp out of the box, but had massive resistance during cutting. Almost felt like the blade had a scandi or convex grind. Aka, like trying to cut an apple in half with an axe. Returned.Overall. The Imarku blade was the best from a price/ performance standpoint.

Great knife for the price is excellent quality

Pretty knife but I wish the handle could be more oval and bigger. A bit slippery when wet because the handle has very smooth material. Overall it's a great value.

As a gift to my friend, it shows the perfect performance.

I bought a knife with them and had to ask for a replacement. The company is wonderful, they answered fast and ship the new knife the same day. Number 1 for the service for sure, and good knife too !

loving it so far, just a few weeks, still getting used to how sharp it is.

Le product is good and convenient
