Paringmes 10 cm | Spartan Ghost™ Serie | Dalstrong ©

I was skeptical about spending this much on a paring knife, but the S35VN steel holds an edge noticeably longer than my old one. The 8-12° sharpening makes slicing cherry tomatoes feel effortless.

The diamond-like coating makes this little knife feel almost indestructible, and it swept through a pile of cherry tomatoes without any squishing. I’ve never had a paring knife stay this sharp out of the box.

This S35VN steel holds a razor edge right out of the box—I've been using it for trimming silverskin and it's still hair-sharp after a week. The diamond-like coating hasn't shown a single scratch even with aggressive daily use.

The S35VN steel takes and holds a frighteningly sharp edge—I touched it up once and it’s been gliding through cherry tomatoes for weeks. The DLC coating adds a slick, non-stick feel that made slicing garlic effortless. Only wish the handle had a bit more texture for wet hands, but it’s still a joy to use.

The 8-12° edge from the Diamond Detailing is insanely sharp right out of the box—makes slicing ripe tomatoes feel effortless. The coating seems durable so far, and the handle balance is perfect for precise work.

I was a bit skeptical about the coating on a paring knife, but the DLC finish has held up perfectly through daily citrus and garlic prep. The edge out of the box was insanely sharp at that 8-12° angle, slicing cherry tomatoes without any squishing.

Finally, a paring knife that actually keeps its edge for months instead of weeks — the S35VN steel makes a real difference. The diamond-like coating seems to resist staining too, which is a nice bonus.

One of the few knives I’ve owned that didn’t need sharpening right away—the DLC coating seems to make slicing through tomatoes feel almost effortless.

The S35VN steel on this little knife is incredible—holds an edge far longer than my old German paring knives ever did. The 8-12° edge made quick work of deveining shrimp without tearing the delicate meat. It’s my new go-to for precise vegetable work.

I've been using this 4-inch paring knife for a few weeks now, and the S35VN steel edge is holding up incredibly well—way better than my old German stainless. The 8-12° sharpening angle makes it feel like a scalpel for trimming herbs and deveining shrimp. Only wish it came with a sheath for safer drawer storage.
