Mercer Culinary Millennia Colors 3-Inch Slim Paring Knife, Green

This is my third Mercer Culinary knife in this series. My Mercer knives are comfortable to use, sharp, and highly rated by culinary pros. This model comes in different handle colors if you want to color-code for meat, fish, vegetables, etc.--or just want to easily find your knife among a drawer of others. It feels good in hand and I use this paring knife daily.

The knife is good quality .

Knife is very sharp..

Very sharp but seems flimsy.

I love this knife. The price was good and it arrived in less than a week. Perfect for cutting small fruits and veggies for my guinea pigs. It is very sharp and the handle is comfortable. Used nearly daily and still one of my sharpest knives after 3 months. When I cut grapes or tomatoes sometimes the skin doesn’t cut through with other knives BUT this knife cuts through the skin always. I would love to have another one.

I have purchased a few Mercer knives, including a Chef’s knife for my wife and she loves it. This paring knife is also very good. You get excellent quality and the price is very reasonable.

What's not to like? These knives are lightweight, comfortable to use, stay sharp, and are a great price. I have four now and use one daily. Great holiday or hostess gift.

I've purchased several different brands of knives over the years, including Victorinox and older Chicago Cutlery. I have purchased the 8" chef, 3" paring, and 10" bread knives from this Mercer Culinary range. These are great kitchen knives for home use. This is the basic product line from Mercer: sharp knives with durable edges designed for basic professional use. Not high-end knives, but well-balanced designs and good steel, taking a decent edge and holding it longer than other knives in this price range. If you go up in price, you can get steel that will hold a sharper edge longer, but those knives will be marginally better. These are good enough to slice quickly and slice tender foods without damaging them. With regular sharpening they will do everything you need for years.

The top of the handle is flat with the result that the knife often comes to rest on the flat part of the handle resulting in the sharp edge of the knife pointing vertically up. I'm currentlyooking for paring knifes with a slight curve to the handle that won't inadvertently have the sharp edge pointing up when at rest...

My Wife prefers to use a small knife, and I've tried to replace the old favourite one, with little success, She ruined the last one, cutting lemons to clean the Microwave. ??? Tried this, and it falls to hand so comfortably. Just a tad larger than the old favourite, (handle size.) but pretty sure it will become the new favourite. Happy to recommend it.

Very sharp and easy to handle bright green colour makes it clearer in the knife drawer. Good value.

Cheap sharp knife for what I paid can't complain.

There's not much else to say about the product. It works as intended, and is a nice shade of green too.
