Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Sabatier knives from France are famous all over the world for their superb quality. Their handmade blades are crafted from high-carbon, forged stainless steel with sharp edges that can be sharpened at home. This useful paring knife has a 4-inch blade, a full-tang (the metal extension of the blade within the handle) handle made of beautiful rosewood, and seamless construction secured with brass rivets. The handle fits snugly in your hand, with satisfying balance and weight for a smaller knife. This parer is just right for all those smaller peeling and chopping chores: it's a necessary basic for any kitchen and likely to be the most-used knife in your drawer. Hand wash to preserve the rosewood handle. --Marcie Bovetz

I never thought that the extra inch on anything like a paring knife would make a difference to me -- that is until I got this baby.

I love this little knife! Who knows, maybe I find the very short length of most paring knives to be frustrating for many small paring-knife type tasks. I'd say I consistently. reach for the 4-inch paring knife first, and use my shorter ones when it's dirty (or already in someone else's hands!)

A word about the Provence handles -- they are gorgeous, and the way they're manufactured -- infused with resin, you get all the benefits of a plastic handle with the rosy beauty of the wood. Unlike plain wooden handled knives, these babies won't get gross looking or ever make you wonder if something's growing in there. Love love love this lovely little knife!

This one is in my "home block". I like the 4 inch for all my paring jobs and it's an absolutly beautiful piece of work. A VERY high quality blade and easily honed.
5*s for this little beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best knives I ever had, February 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sabatier Provence 4-Inch Stainless-Steel Paring Knife (Kitchen)

This Sabatier serie is outstanding. The feel of the knives is good, precise and gentle due to the cherry wood. The steel is flexible enough to give a little but also very strong. I had others (Japanese and German) but this set id the best I tried so far. Cheers.
