The MAC pro 5" paring knife is a great solution for the cook looking for a knife longer than a dedicated paring knife, but without the heft of a large chefs knife. At 5" in length and 2.6 ounces in weight, the 5" parer becomes a fantastic utility knife, and surely an important piece of any serious cook's kit. This razor sharp blade is an excellent choice when peeling fruits and vegetables, or doing cutting that may sometimes require time on the cutting board. Peeling and cutting citrus supremes will be a breeze. Please protect this blade, don't put it in the dishwasher. Our 120 petty saya does not work on this knife.

My first MAC, and it hopefully won't be my last. The blade came incredibly sharp out of the box, and the blade retention is out of this world. I don't baby it, but it absolutely doesn't show. Don't write it off as a knife for fruit and veg work, it works better at cleaning strip loins and skirt steaks than any boning knife I've ever used.

Another great Mac. My wife uses this as her tomato knife. Even juicy, ripe fruit part cleanly beneath it's thin and wickedly sharp blade. Like all Macs it's easy to keep sharp and sharpens up easily. A great value if you need a knife in this size.
