# 3.8" Paring Knife - Made In Measuring at just under 4 inches, the Paring Knife offers complete precision, control, and ensures the knife glides as you peel, hull, or core your ingredient. A compact, precision blade for peeling, coring, and intricate prep. ## Description The 3.8” Paring Knife is a small but mighty blade that makes precision prep effortless. Forged in Thiers, France, by a 5th-generation bladesmith, this knife is full tang and fully forged, designed for complete control and maneuverability. The blade is honed to micron-level precision—resulting in a razor-sharp edge that retains its sharpness longer than traditional paring knives. The optimized blade geometry ensures effortless peeling, coring, and slicing, while the fine tip allows for intricate detailing. And even though the blade is asymmetrical, it's been carefully designed to feel intuitive for both right- and left-handed chefs. With a full tang construction and an ergonomic Truffle Black ABS or Olive Wood handle, this knife offers exceptional balance, durability, and impact resistance, making it a kitchen essential for both home cooks and professionals. ## Dimensions - Blade Material: X50CrMoV15 Stainless Steel - Blade Angle: 18-Degrees - Blade Type: Double Bevel - Blade Length: 3.8" - Blade Height: 1.96" - Blade Thickness: 2 mm - Total Length: 8” - Weight: 3.3 oz - Rockwell Scale: 58+ HRC ## Care - Hand wash only, dry immediately. - ABT knives can be sharpened like any other knife.

I have purchased 4 others as gifts. — Natalie Bergman ### ★☆☆☆☆ Customer service cold and unfriendly, unfortunately I would love to receive this knife and know I will probably love it but I haven't received it yet. I reported it missing from delivery on April 4 and didn't hear back. I called Customer Service on April 12 and the lady on the phone was not very helpful or understanding. While we were on the phone, I received an email dated April 4 with instructions. I searched my email folders and it had never received that and I asked her if she just sent it and she said "yes". She didn't tell me she was resending it while we were speaking. She made me feel like an idiot because I didn't have it previously. She was unsympathetic and wanted me to check with my neighbors and the USPS and then call back. She had no help to offer, really, and acted like I was bothering her. Didn't offer to replace the knife or refund my purchase price. Not good customer service, in my opinion and I am a business owner and strive to provide excellent customer service with my clients. I have bought many items from Made In over the years and love them and like the company philosophy and support them. Please improve on customer service and the handling of your customers on the phone. Thank you! — L.auren D. ### ★☆☆☆☆ Good and very bad The design weight and balance of this knife are great. The sharpness and the knife is very poor. I even gave it a quick hone and the knife edge is subpar for the price paid. I would consider looking for a different company. — Greg Z. ### ★☆☆☆☆ Extremely blunt! Not sharp at all, had to start sharpening from 400 grit wet stone! Very disappointing — Jamil M. ### ★★★★★ You Might Need That Bandaid! Beautiful knife! Glad it came with a bandaid! Really sharp. Go for the olive wood. It’s worth it. — Charlene D. ### ★★★★★ A Real Find A Real Find With a son being an Executive Chef in Denver, he has often lauded the sharpness and feel of Made In Knives. Having just received our order the other day we started using our first piece of Made In Cutlery. I must say that we were pleasantly pleased with the performance and feel of the knife. It lived up to it's reputation. — Nancy and Jan ### ★★★★★ So small with a giant performance This knife has so many uses. Super sharp and ergonomic design. The A/B/T is a bevel game changer. — AU batman ### ★★★★★ Beautiful, well-made knife. Feels exactly right in the hand, knife is sharp, does the job perfectly. Great knife for so many little tasks. Quickly became my favorite small-ish knife in my kitchen. And the olive wood is beautiful! — Rebecca ### ★★★★★ Unexpectedly awesome knife Such a great little knife.

I laughed when I opened the box and there was a band-aid … but lol, I needed it the first day I used it, although I didn’t even realize it at first. A lot of new knives cut well. This does as well, but it really sits well in the hand. These were thoughtfully developed. — Jess C ### ★★★★★ A very good knife Very comfortable and a great knife for daily use. Came perfectly sharpened and ready to use. — Anya S. ### ★★★★★ — June ### ★★★★★ Excellent knife Nicely weighted with a great feel in the hand.
