## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice knife- sharp from the start; interested to see how long it stays sharp.
*by B***I on February 2, 2024*

This knife is very comfortable, at least in my hand, and my wife has no complaints, so there you go. It's lightweight and sharp right out of the box. Spyderco quality and made in Seki City Japan, where many of their better knives come from. The steel they used (MBS-26) also gets some good feedback on the web. However, although it is a stainless steel it will show some rust spots, as others have noted. Mine were small, but started appearing after only a few washes. They can be removed if you're careful and know what you're doing (the steel will scratch if you get too aggressive), so I think it's best if the knife's dried right after washing. I was hoping for a totally carefree knife, but this one looks to need a little TLC. I'm interested in seeing how long it stays sharp and how easy it is to re-sharpen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spyderco Plain Edge Paring Knife with 4.48" Pointed Blade
*by D***H on February 4, 2016*

I myself am a "Blade Freak" I own over 100 top High Quality knives (Puma, Buck, Ka-Bar, Spyderco, Fox of Italy, just to name drop a few) I also buy 0-1 oil hardened tool steel for "my own 1 of a kind" that I make myself, I was feeling a bit guilty about spending $4-500 on knives for my collection, my 78 year young mother does a lot to help me keep my crippled up self from falling into depression (I was diagnosed with extreme, sever RA in 2011)- I know that mom does what she does , because that's what parents do,( I have 5 children, 10 grandchildren myself) I also know the Very High Quality that Spyderco puts into their blades, the 1 million dollar research and development facility they have in Colorado, I ordered my mom the paring knife that Amazon has for a very good price- When I gave the fine quality kitchen knife to mom she said "I don't go hunting or hike much to need such a nice knife as a Spyderco" I told her to remove it from the box, she smiled like I haven't seen her do for a while, she LOVES it!! I will be buying her more Spyderco kitchen blades, Mom has anything she could need, she has me, the son who worried her for many (40+) years at home on the family ranch and who is living a "clean" life today, I thank Spyderco and Amazon for offering the kitchen line of TOP QUALITY blades, so those of us who live 70+ miles from town, have the ability to shop for items we couldn't find any place else- Thanks for helping me put a smile on a mothers face

### ⭐⭐⭐ Took 2 stars off because the handle seems a bit short and not as comfortable as traditional paring knives
*by S***I on March 25, 2016*

The blade is high quality, sharp and narrow. Took 2 stars off because the handle seems a bit short and not as comfortable as traditional paring knives...the end of the handle would be improved without the nub that drops down. My hands are average, M-L size.
