“4 stars out of sheer beauty. The knife's lovely, maybe worth it for its looks, but not different from any number of excellent knives costing much less. That is, it's an excellent knife, no complaints, but the price asked for New West Knifeworks raises expectations to unfulfillable expectations.”
“This new paring knife is the 3rd(petty & miniparing & paring) we have bought from NWK.
They are well made with good handles & very sharp out of the box blade. They hold an edge well but are difficult to sharpen due to the very tough steel used-so keep it sharp & don't let it get dull”
“I love this paring knife. I have had my former knife for over 20 years, and I have been happy with it, but as soon as I used my new one I almost fell over with how wonderfully it sliced! Eventually, my plan is to change out all my old knives with the knives of the Mountain Man Toy Shop. Not only are they amazing tools, but they are also beautiful works of art.”
