Mercer Culinary M20003 Genesis 3.5-Inch Paring Knife,Black

Better than expected. Has a great feel in the hand is razor-sharp and just the right size 4 slicing apples, chopping vegetables, slicing tomatoes, whatever that you would use a pairing knife for it seems to be very high quality at a very good value. It was packaged nicely and arrived on time so I would give the vendor at least 5 stars and I would give the item 5 stars as well. I would also give amazon delivery five stars

I have now had this knife for over 6 years! I am very impressed with it and have grown to prefer it over my zwilling profession s (granted 8inch vs this one at 6inch). I am kind of a knife guy. Very impressed with the balance, weight, feel and cutting. I sharpen tools for my woodworking and this knife takes an edge very nicely on resharpening. For the money, its amazing in my opinion.

I purchased a 6-inch flexible boning knife and I must say I am very pleased with this knife. Blade was sharp and flexible. Grip is nice and the weight is perfect. I'm a woman in her seventies with arthritic hands and needed a good boning knife for carving up a deer hindquarter when I am fortunate enough to harvest one. This knife cut through the hindquarter like butter. I would highly recommend this product.

Great go-to knife, nice weight and balance, commercial rated, very sharp, solid build.

These are fantastic home cook knives. They are the ones student's in culinary school are at minimum required to have and they are wonderful. I love wood handles but its totally worth it to have black plastic or whatever it is. they feel noce in your hand and stay sharp even with a regular old knife sharpener from homegoods. I love to cook and a sharp knife is safer than ine that goes dull. Totally worth it

Got this a few days ago because I dropped and broke the tip on my favorite paring knife. I cook a lot and this knife is much better than the one (I thought was great) it replaced. Extremely sharp with a handle that is not only comfortable but textured so no matter what liquid gets on it,it remains perto grip!

This knife is super sharp, feels comfortable in your hand and does a superb job of cutting and slicing food.

I bought this knife ~4 years ago for a prep cook kitchen job. I process about 200-300 lbs of chicken a week, by hand or in this case knife. Sometimes just cleaning up double lobe breasts, some cutting into boneless bites, and some cut into fine strips for chicken cheese-steaks. Not to mention the tons of onions and other various prep tasks. 40-50 hours a week every week, without fail. With only using a honing steel to keep the edge in good shape, the edge has JUST started to fail this year, and needs to be professionally resharpened. Even using those crappy "knife sharpeners" you see in a lot of kitchens, has helped it limp along even though the edge is almost entirely gone. This knife is a workhorse. Kept sharp this beauty will cut protein, and pretty much anything else, with ease. To quote Hattori Hanzo from the movie Kill Bill: "Should you encounter God on your travels, God will be cut" Signed, A frontline prep cook who has put multiple tons of work through this blade.

Initial review, Just received the knife. Came sharp right out of the package. Sliced easily right through paper. Feels good in the hand. Looks great. First good Knife I've ever purchased. A few smudges on the knife, nothing bad but i do wonder why they're there. i was looking for a good knife that wasn't $100 or more. I'll update the review after actually using it. Update: Best knife i've ever used keeping in mind i've never spent more than 30$ on a knife before. Primary use is carving meat, turkey, brisket, roast etc.

I bought this knife cause I like cooking at home. I'm not a professional even thought I took some culinary classes years ago. Be Aware! Very sharp knife out of the box!! Cut a finger tip pretty bad while cleaning it for the first time. I was probably just to exited to use it for the first time. Good balance, good grip, blade long enough so you don't need to lift the tip of the knife from your cutting board to cut small to medium size vegtables or fruits. Cleaning is easy (not for dishwasher). I love this knife so much that I just bought an other one but an 8" blade for my wife who's scared of the 10" blade.

Knife is worth its price. Sharp and of reasonable quality.

sharpest knife of my collection.cute and royal

Después de comprar un cuchillo en el supermercado, y que éste se rompiera en poco tiempo, decidí buscar un mejor cuchillo. Este cuchillo es sumamente filoso y es ideal para rebanar verduras finamente como papa, zanahoria, y calabacitas. El cuchillo de 8" (20 cm) es de tamaño normal para la mayoría de las personas, sin embargo, algunos podrían pensar que es un poco largo. Para esto recomiendo el de 6" (15 cm) que a lo mejor se adapta mejor para quienes tienen manos pequeñas y poco espacio para cortar. Recomiendo también estuches de guarda para evitar que la hoja se golpee en el cajón donde se guarde, y para evitar que alguien accidentalmente se corte con el filo, ya que es bastante afilado. El cuchillo está hecho de acero al alto carbono lo que quiere decir que aunque es un poco más suave que el acero inoxidable, el filo que tiene la hoja es muy fino. También debido a esto el cuchillo requiere de afiladas más constantes para mantenerse en óptimas condiciones. Esto no es un problema para uso casero, pero aquellos que utilicen el cuchillo diariamente de manera profesional deben recordar afilar el cuchillo regularmente con una piedra de acentar.
