Overview
Home cooks and chefs doing detail work get Mercer's small paring knife, made from one-piece high-carbon Japanese steel that sharpens easily. An ergonomic handle with textured finger points gives a non-slip grip.
Grip and edge are the case: the textured handle stays steady when wet, and the steel takes a keen edge with little effort. It suits garnishes, seeding and deveining. The dishwasher is off limits.
Who it's for
Culinary students, line cooks and home cooks who want a reliable small knife. People who put every knife in the dishwasher should look for one rated for it.

Performance notes
High-carbon steel takes and holds a fine edge, but needs drying after washing to avoid spots. The textured handle reduces slipping when hands are wet. A short blade gives control for in-hand cuts.
