Yaxell Mon 4" Paring Knife

I love the feel of this paring knife. The blade is very short (4") which allows for more precise cutting, unlike the longer length paring knives. It's also very sharp.

This knife is light saber sharp, but well constructed and looks good. At 4" it is a little long for a paring knife.

Sharp, precise, good hand feel. I use my MAC santoku for almost everything, but really glad to add this to my collection, and found I use it quite a bit now.

I absolutely love this little paring knife. It makes chopping veggies fun. It is so sharp and precise. I highly recommend this paring knife.

I own Wusthof, Henckels, and Shun knives (an entire 30 + slot block is practically filled) and I must admit that I've been blown away by the quality of the Yaxell knives. I only own 2 of them, the first was the Yaxell sandwich knife and the quality/sharpness of the blade was of the highest quality --- and lead to me buying this Yaxell paring knife.

So, first of all, if you're giving this as a gift, the presentation box is excellent - so, it would make a nice gift for a knife-lover. Second, that other guy that claimed about "ridiculous proportions" is crazy. Yes, it's slightly larger overall than my Henckels or Wusthof paring knives, but that's an advantage IMO. Finally, the finish on the blade and the handle are next level. Just a gorgeous, well-balanced, and razor sharp cutting utensil.
