This paring knife is seriously
This paring knife is seriously the best one I've used. The blade's curve is awesome, makes a huge difference. As always, the quality is top notch, just what I expect from Shun!

A top kitchen essential
If fruit is a regular component in your life then this knife should be a regular tool in your life. This and a nakiri do the vast majority of cutting chores on a soft rubber cutting board in my kitchen.
