Paring Knife 4" | Valhalla Series | Dalstrong ©

Out of the box it felt balanced and precise in my hand, and the 9CR18MOV steel has held its razor edge through a week of heavy tomato and herb work. The D3TM sharpening process really shows—this thing slices through citrus peel like it’s nothing.

The sandblasted frosted finish gives it a grippy, non-slip feel even when my hands are wet from washing veggies. That 4-inch blade is nimble enough for precise work, yet the 9CR18MOV steel holds its edge far longer than my old cheap knives.

The frosted finish on the blade gives it a nice grip, and the D3TM sharpening makes slicing through tomatoes feel effortless right out of the box. I’ve been using it daily for two weeks and the edge shows no signs of dulling.
