Paring Knife 3.75" | Shadow Black Series | NSF Certified | Dalstrong ©

The black titanium coating on this knife is impressive—it resists sticking way better than my old stainless steel blade, and the handle feels perfectly balanced for detail work. The 3.75-inch length is just right for peeling and trimming without feeling too small.

That 8-12 degree edge out of the box is ridiculously sharp—I’ve never had a paring knife slice through tomato skin so effortlessly. The black coating seems durable, and it’s already handled a week of citrus and herbs without any issues.

I was a bit skeptical about the black coating holding up, but after a month of daily use it still looks brand new. The 8-12° edge is scary sharp and makes trimming herbs feel effortless. Great balance for a small knife.

The black titanium coating really helps this blade slide through citrus peel without sticking, and the handle gives a secure grip even when my hands are wet. I've been using it daily for a week and the edge still feels like it did on day one.

That 8-12 degree edge right out of the box made quick work of deveining shrimp. The coating hasn't shown any wear after a month of daily use. Glad I grabbed this for delicate prep work.

The black titanium coating on this paring knife isn't just for looks—it's held up perfectly through weeks of trimming herbs and citrus without any chipping or rust. The D3 sharpening process keeps the edge wicked sharp right out of the box, though I do wish the handle had a bit more heft for longer prep sessions. Still, it’s a steal for the price and cuts like a dream.

I'm genuinely impressed by how this knife holds an edge after weeks of daily veg prep—the titanium coating seems to repel staining too. The 3.75" blade feels perfectly balanced for peeling apples and trimming fat, with no flex. A solid upgrade from my old cheap set.

Finally a paring knife that keeps its edge through a whole week of prep — the diamond sharpening process really makes a difference. The black coating hasn't chipped or faded after several washes, which surprised me.

The 7CR17MOV steel paired with that black TiN coating gives this knife a surprisingly sturdy feel for its size. It slid through an apple peel in one clean motion right out of the box, and the 8-12° edge seems to hold nicely after a week of daily use.

I was a little skeptical about the black coating holding up, but after three weeks of slicing garlic and herbs, it still looks flawless and the edge hasn't dulled a bit.
