OAKSWARE Paring Knife

Love this knife. Sturdy, gorgeous finishing, razor sharp. Nice heavy weight.

Oaksware knives are the best value I have found. High quality, very comfortable handles and hold their sharp edge, I have repurchased twice.

Sharp, well made.

I bought these to replace a set of cheap, smaller pairing knives with fragile plastic handles which we wore out using them for everything - streak knives, pairing knives, dinner knives, cutting up raw chicken and raw vegetables, etc. These are extremely sharp and sturdy, and the craftsmanship is excellent. The hilt feels very good and solid in the hands. The drawback that I was not expecting but would have realized if I had paid more attention is that the hilt is very heavy. Almost too heavy, and with the light, thin, blade it means they are not well balanced. They still work well, especially for my bigger hands, but they can be a bit much for my wife's smaller hands. For the price, they are an excellent buy.

Well made, great price, razor sharp!

This is a great paring knife. My only regret is that I didn't buy two.

Very impressed with all the OAKSWARE product line. Strong steel, very sharp and long lasting. Convenient Handles for all the styles. Perfect knife for the price. Pretty heavy, comparing to the other similar other brand knifes. Not for Dishwasher - heat may destroy the black Delrin® on knife handles. Even though it says stainless steel, just make sure to vipe it dry after washing, before storing in the wood block, or drawer. Purchased all the pieces for the kitchen - 8", 6" Chief Knifes, Paring and Bird Beak. Be careful, don't challenge the sharpness! Looking forward also to buy the 7" Santoku, when it will be available on Amazon.

I frankly wasn't prepared for how beautiful this knife is; it's a pleasure to hold & use. I use it mainly to cut frozen string beans to put in soup. I tend to keep my knives dull because I'm clumsy & tend to cut myself so a dull knife does less harm to me. The problem with that theory is, dull knives either don't cut frozen string beans at all or, when I finally do succeed in cutting through the frozen string bean (as I apply more & more forearm & wrist strength) a suddenly severed section of string bean will oftentimes go shooting off the plate at high speed to either disappear entirely from this universe (so far as I can tell) or end up on the floor at least five feet away. So, something sharp and heavy seemed to be the answer. When I went to one good housewares store, all the knives had thin plastic handles with thin blades sharp as razors & I could see in my mind's eye that there would be blood, my very own, soon to be seen amongst the string beans if I bought one of those deadly weapons lying in wait on the counter of that store. This knife is 1. heavy 2. sharp but 3. the blade is thick- not a razor. It's a pleasure to use, because it's heavy & sharp I don't press down hardly at all & I don't have to saw & I also haven't bled once. Pieces of severed string beans are no longer flying out of the universe from my kitchen nor littering the floor. It also cuts meat well & tomatoes too. It's a full tang knife; it's a pleasure to use & to look at too as it sits there quietly beautiful.

el cuchillo está hermoso y se ve muy resistente, bien hecho, pero el filo no es lo que dice en la descripción. Apenas llevo un día de uso y para cortar un jitomate tuve que encajar la punta porque no cortaba.
