Global 3-in. Paring Knife  Product Reviews

"I bought this on a whim to finish my global collection.Quality is the same as all global knives but I agree with previous reviewer that the handle is too flat which make it awkward to use. If the handle had more heft it would have been a great paring knife. Global skimped on this knife"

"Top quality steel,right length & heft.The problem is with the handle wich is way too slender. When working with wet hands is downright dangerous.Practically you have to hold the knife with your fingertips(& I have small hands),even so the handle corrugation is not suffficient to give a firm hold."

"If there's one item most of us can't get along without in the kitchen it's a paring knife. It's a simple tool but necessary. Pluses for this knife are the three inch blade - longer and it may not be manageable and the non-slip handle. Show me the person who can pare vegetables and fruit and keep their hands dry, thus an easy to grip handle that won't slide is a good safety precaution."

"Having been a Sabatier fan all my life, I was a little skeptical when I saw some of my chefs using these Japanese knives, but having handled them I decided to try one at home. I love this knife. It is beautifully balanced and takes an edge easily. I use it all the time and will get around to getting some larger ones when I can afford them! Right now, this is my all purpose knife for all veg prep and sundry general slicing and paring. It is no good for chopping, though they make plenty that are. Highly recommended."
