Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tom Douglas by Pinzon Kai 3-1/2-Inch Stainless-Steel Paring Knife
Customer Review: Comfortable Handle & Sharp Blade
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is a nice paring knife. The co-polymer handle doesn't slip even when wet and feels really well balanced in the hand. It's not just a piece of plastic; there is a bolster and some weight to it.
The blade did not pass the paper cutting test straight out of the box but most knives need honing or sharpening before the first cut. I peeled carrots and potatoes before honing and it cut well. Did less well on a tomato but did manage to core it without mashing it. After I honed the blade on my knife steel (this is not sharpening), the peeling was even easier and created thin strips. After I gave the knife a few passes through my electric knife sharpener, it passed the paper cutting test easily and could make very thin peels. It sliced through a tomato easily. I'm impressed!
My everyday paring knife is a Victorinox with a hard polymer handle. It is also a sharp knife but I think this Pinzon will be my new favorite because of the handle. It's very comfortable and doesn't slip, leading to less fatigue.
I use this knife sharpener (see link below). It's pretty much foolproof and puts a good edge on my knives. I still take my knives to a professional sharpener at least once a year; this keeps my blades sharp in the meantime.
