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

My last roommate had one of these knives, and while it did spot stain a bit (rust) on the blade, it never seemed like an issue. It was very slight, and the knife was so easy to cut veggies with, I didn't worry about it. I landed a deal, 2 for $12. They arrived today. I was so happy to use one tonight, until I forgot I was cutting with a razor sharp blade and... Well, it's just the tip of my thumb, and I'm still typing with it, so we're good. GREAT KNIVES! VERY SHARP! I recommend purchasing a generic first aid kit along with these knives if you don't already have one.

I like this knife a lot. It seems to be of very good quality

This is a nice knife. I’m not crazy about the fit of the handle for my hand, but it does a nice job

Sharp, easy to hold, and good for precision cutting in the kitchen.

I just recently learned about mercer from an America's Test Kitchen video. This is a stamped pairing knife, not forged. It is sharp and easy to use and priced right.

One can never have too many paring knives. I bought two of these to have on hand, saving my more expensive knives for precise meal prep. The cost is well worth it, even if the edge doesn't last.

Sharp. Great smaller size for arthritic hands

I have used Victorionox paring knives before, but these come sharper and hold an edge longer.

Fab little knife. Purchased originally for my daughter to use for jointing poultry (great for small incisions and removing breast meat). When I managed to break the original, I had no hesitation in ordering a second one. Love a good sharp knife and find blunt ones far more dangerous (this applies to my kids using them too).

I have this a year, bought it on Amazon. It goes in and out of the dishwasher and is lasting well. Great for peeling fruit. Handy and sharp with a great hold.

I gave it 3 stars but for ten bucks, there's not too much to complain about, I suppose. I bought it a year ago along with a similar Victorinox that cost nearly double. I'd buy the Vic again but probably not this knife. Edge chips easily, hard to sharpen -and I have a lot of experience. Update a few months further along - I have rehabilitated the chipped edge on this knife a couple of times and tried changing the bevel to a less acute angle, but I still keep finding chips along the edge. It's in the same drawer with a couple of victorinox knives and they don't get chips and can shred through newspaper like its not there. I thought I would reserve judgment when it was new in case someone in my family abused it, but I am convinced the steel is no good now. In my kitchen, I mainly use high-end japanese cooking knives with very hard steel, which are very easy to chip, but they never get chipped because I know how to use and maintain knives.

Very handy little knife for general use in the kitchen. Works well and goes in the dishwasher

Still sharp
