The most useful little knife..., February 17, 2024Posted By: Scott
I needed a paring knife. My poor knowledge of the metric system led to the purchase of this tiny blade when I was hoping for something a little larger. And I'm not a fan of western style handles. But this has become indispensable in my kitchen. The short blade is perfect for precision work and small jobs. It is super sharp and I use it all the time. If you like the look and the western handle, I recommend this knife and the entire line by MAC. Of course, the service and price from CKTG can't be beat.

Outstanding little paring knife! Far outperforms my Wusthof Classic Icon which has now become a hand-me-down to the rest of my family--(they are a little rough on knifes). I am always 100% satisfied with CKTG. Cheers, Bill

I love this little paring knife. It just fits the hand so nicely. Out of box sharpness is excellent. Great balance and blade profile. I find that 3.5 inches is the sweet spot for me on a paring knife and this falls just short of that. I have two paring knives in my block. This one and a Shun. I much prefer this over the Shun.

This a Great Paring knife, I had originally purchased a Tojiro paring Knife but I found that its blade (Even Though Its Sharp)is a little thick on the top which makes it extremely difficult to cut through vegetables like Potatoes and Carrots, but the MAC glides rite through them.

It came dull out of the box, which is surprising for MAC. F&F was poor, with noticeable gaps where the wood meets the metal tang. Handle and profile of the knife don't work well for my large hands, leaving too much distance between the knife and the food. The heel of the knife is too thick, which is also counterproductive for me.Good thing is it is very stain resistant. The Shun is superior to this in all ways but the stain-resistance. Total let down for me, since I love the MAC Pro 9.5 Chef's knife and the Superior Bread Knife so much. (both of which get 5 stars in my book)

Small, thin, and sharp, I really like this Mac parer. I like Mac Pros as a step up in fit, finish, and blade geometry from Tojiro, while still providing a great bargain price. Really easy to sharpen as well.
