Damascus Paring Knife

Absolutely beautiful knife! I bought this knife for my husband who had been complaining that my 25 year old German made knives were not honing very well anymore. He loves this knife so much that he hand-crafted the most beautiful knife block and matching cutting board just for it. He even crafted a small box to hold the vial of oil. I plan to purchase the others in this set as I can afford to do so. It is such a pleasure to purchase and use a knife of great quality. Thank you!

I work in an institutional kitchen and I use my knives all day long. Carving turkey, meatloaf, giant pork loins, cases upon cases of chicken. It’s a lot. And this knife slides right through all of it. I keep it quite sharp and it holds its edge for months even through the very heavy usage. Would totally recommend and buy again. Happy cooking!

I've never spent $85 on a single culinary knife but WOW! It's the sharpest, most beautiful knife I've ever handled. In addition to it being a work of art, it is completely functional. The presentation when opening was excellent! It has a cool wooden box w/knife oil and this awesome little gold-trimmed envelope w/authenticity cert, care instructions and thank you note. This is the level of class that I expected from a true Japanese knife maker and it didn't disappoint. Great Father's Day gift for the Father that does it all! Thank you.

I just received today this knife (I bought it for myself for my coming birthday) and I can say that it is a delightful surprise. I cannot believe how sharp is this thing!! (I almost shave my nails when cutting vegetables due to a second of distraction. Be aware!). It is a beauty and as such, it deserves and better it has your full attention, otherwise you are going to regret it. Gorgeous knife, congratulations to Mitsumoto Sakari, excellent work. Nice handle and nice box too, but the blade itself is impressive.

Buen filo. Mantiene afilado buen tiempo.

Absolutely love this knife!!! I will definitely be purchasing the whole set. Well worth the money!

This is a decent knife. The packaging is over-the-top nice, so it would make an impression as a gift. The handle looks great. Unfortunately, the pattern on the blade is laser etched, and you can feel the ridges (I can't on my Japanese-made folded-steel knives). I don't actually care about the damascus steel aspect. If it's not folded steel, please don't put silly laser etching to to make it look like folded steel.

This was probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever unpacked. Great presentation, box was cool, product speaks for itself. You can see the Damascus design and visibly sharp edge. Well-balanced and fits in the hand well.

The biggest purchase regret I’ve done for the last 7 years of Amazon shopping “Absolute garbage! This so-called 'Japanese' knife is a complete sham. It couldn't even slice through butter without chipping, let alone cutting meat! Save your money and buy a plastic butter knife instead. I've never been so disappointed with a purchase in my life. Zero stars if I could!"

Beautiful workmanship and sharp, comfortable to use and just the rights size for my liking, love the box presentation

This is the second knife we have bought from this company. They are beautiful showpieces, and also perform well as chef's knives. This knife has good balance, feels nice in hand, and the wide cleaver blade makes it a very handy tool in the kitchen. My husband is the chef at home, and uses this knife more frequently than others... He's 6'4“, and has lots of strength to weild this knife safely! I'm 5'1“, and this knife is a little heavy for me, so I use it carefully. Keeps a sharp edge for a long time.

J'ai acheté ce couteau durant le temps des fêtes avec un superbe rabais de 50% . Et je ne suis pas déçu jusqu'à présent !! Tranchant a souhait, finition incroyable, bien balancé et poids parfait!! Prix plus que respectable pour ce couteau. J'envisage d'acheter le couteau de chef de 8 pouces et le couperet de la même série dans un avenir rapproché tellement je suis en amour avec !! Le coffret en bois est solide et très jolie. Je recommande !!
