I thought this knife sounded big for a paring knife and boy was I right. This is really great for slicing/boning/paring. Of course, if you have the money and the inclination, go for actual slicing and boning knives and get a 3-3.5" paring knife. I basically use this and a 8" chef's knife for everything. The steel is high quality forged german carbon stainless steel. Of course, like all knives, clean and dry this knife directly after use. It won't let you down. As a paring knife, i'd give it 4 stars, but i've found its versatility worth that fifth star.

This is the best knife I have ever owned. I don't know how I managed before in the kitchen. This would make a great gift. Do yourself a gigantic favor and buy one!!

I bought this along with the 6" Sankuro (they were a set) as my first true quality knives and they are incredible. I may not be a pro, but I've tried other higher priced knives (Henkel) that weren't any better and similar priced knives that were of a much lower quality. I just love them.
