But this Mercer knife is very nice. The santoprene handle gives a great grip. I looked at the blade under the microscope - the apex is beautifully honed.
Culinary Genesis 3.5-Inch Paring Knife: The overall weight and balance feels good, handle feel is secure and size is about right, blade is very sharp, holds an edge reasonably well, does not rust (I only hand wash) etcetera as you would expect for a decent knife.
One of the best things about this Genesis knife is the handle material and shape, it is very comfortable with no hard edges and importantly is just as grippy when wet as when dry. I can handle this safely in any condition. It also appears to be very durable, but only time will tell how this holds up long term.
[Update: Jan 25, 2020]
We've been using the Paring knife for light use at least a few times a week for the past two years. It's still working as good as new, and the handle material is holding up perfectly well - it is just as grippy as its always been with almost no signs of wear. This handle material is simply amazing, it's even has good grip when soapy which is great to avoid accidents during washing. I even tried cutting things with a soapy handle and had no problems. I've bought a couple of other Genesis knives and they are all equally great, however this paring knife was the first and gets the most use and serves as the best indicator for long term durability.
the dishwasher like a 100 times the heat cycle doesn't effect the handle at all ..
5 years later i just bought another one today for when my other one is sitting
in the dishwasher lol
It always goes out to the patio when im grilling , has been dropped many times
on concrete and showing no bad signs ...I guess it a Paring knife but i use it for everything ..
You can find cheaper paring knives on am@zon , but they won't have the proven durability ..
