Blade had nicks in two spots that will sharpen out, not deal breaker but should not be there in a $100 knife. — Kasey ### ★★★★☆ Great Knife Heavier than it looks which can make it scary to use for the first time. High quality, incredibly sharp, and makes deboning and other tasks very easy. — Anon ### ★★★★★ Must have paring knife What a great knife. The angle glides so smoothly to make precise peels and cuts.

It has a nice sized handle to provide stability and reduce fatigue. Not inexpensive but will make a nice gift for friends and family that enjoy their time in the kitchen. — Bret ### ★★★★★ Perfect knife for deboning chickens I wanted a good knife for deboning chickens. My hands are small so a lot of the knives don’t really work for me. This one is perfect. I’m sure I’ll find other uses for it but right now. I’m just using it for deboning chickens. — Anonymous ### ★★★★☆ One of my favorite knives at the moment. One of my favorite knives for all small work.

Feels solid. 5 stars if it arrived really sharp. — Addicted to knives ### ★★★★★ Great knife, but out of stock! Best paring knife I've ever used, and once it's back in stock, I will purchase again - hope that's very soon! — ART ### ★★★★★ Bird’s Beak Knife is GREAT! Buy it! Won’t regret! I bought the bird beak knife a year ago because we had a handmade one growing up as a kid as a grown-up cook. I had been looking for one for years thank you Made In for having this knife. The birds beak knife is fantastic! If you don’t own one, you should buy one! It’s one of the greatest little Knives that you will ever own and never regret buying and owning! Thanks again, Made In you did great! As usual! — ThunderHorse ### ★★★★★ A Great Addition to my Knives This paring knife makes it so easy to get a thin peel off apples and cucumbers and celery-so far that’s how I have used it. I will use it for making lemon, limes, and orange peels. It can be sharpened just like any knife so don’t worry about that. I use a flatter rather than round honing steel to sharpen — Megan on the Farm ### ★★★★★ Handles very easy for peeling fruit. Be careful and don’t drop.
