Misono Handmade Molybdenum Paring Knife

This was purchased to go with a Misono chef's knife. It will replace a bunch of inferior small knives that are never quite sharp and never quite right for the task!

This is a wonderful knife. It feels perfect in my hand. It is ridiculously sharp. Control with it is very easy. I love this knife! It came in perfect shape. I will be checking out other offerings from Misono.Edit: I bought a second one because I like it so much.

Ordered 2 by mistake- however, this size & its quality & appearance also are impressive Steak Knives & will be back for more. Stainless steel knives are worthless. They may cut well for 2 days- despite appropriate care, they rust within a week.I’m not a materials engineer, but a friend gave me a set of Japanese Molybdenum knives (@ the time, an “odd” gift.) They came with a ceramic rod sharpener - a MUST HAVE!!!) & said I’d have them for a lifetime… another “odd” statement.He was 1000% correct. I’ve had those knives for 4 decades & they are fabulous… However, I needed a set of knives for a 2nd home. Misono gets 5-stars for its blade, balance, functionality & appearance. The sleek black handles are elegant- even for a formal dinner.Took me awhile to find Misono on Amazon site. But looking forward to adding to my collection: Misono knives are “collectible”.🆘AMAZON My only suggestion: for customers who cannot read Japanese, please add a slip of paper in English so we’ll know how to care for the knives- they are “investment” grade.

I had bought some Cuisinart paring knives on Amazon at Thanksgiving, but they weren't very sharp. I asked the professional who sharpens my knives what off-the-shelf brand he prefers. He recommended Misono. This knife is much sharper. It's smaller than the Cuisinart C77TR-3PR, but I'll still easy to use.

The blade, overall, is thinner than other high end paring knives I've had. The knife arrived clean, looking never used, but it was covered with a very sticky substance, that remained AFTER washing it 3 times. I finally used some Citrus Solve on the blade, as I couldn't cut with it sticky. There are no instructions in English that might have explained this. I have Shun and Miyabki knives, this Misono is definitely a lower quality of knife. I will wait and see how it holds up. A bit disappointed.

This the real deal, made in Japan they are the sharpest knives I have ever used and I have the cuts to prove it.

awesome nothing else needs to be said

Every chef should have one.Sharp,clean,clever.....enjoyed the packaging.....
