## Description

Essential to any kitchen, a paring knife is the go-to knife for peeling, coring, and other detail work. The Kai Luna Paring Knife features a slightly wider blade than some paring knives, making it great for working on a cutting board. You’ll love how it minces garlic or small herbs quickly and easily. This little gem also makes garnishing is a breeze. The Kai Luna series is not only eye-catching, but offers exciting style and performance at a value price. But value pricing does not mean sub-par quality: Kai Luna is designed and hand-crafted to give you excellent cutting performance. The high-carbon stainless steel blade has been expertly hardened for exceptional edge retention, strength, and rigidity. Each blade features a mirror polish on the upper part and a graze finish on the lower part that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but enhances stain and corrosion resistance. The hand-sharpened edge features a razor-sharp 16° cutting edge each side. Make with high-quality steel, Luna is easily the equal of much higher-priced competitors. The line offers soft-grip overlays on the top and bottom of the handle provide a secure grip, yet offer lightweight maneuverability and reduced cutting fatigue. Each knife comes with a matching storage sheath for protecting your blades when not in use. Luna by Kai is the quality professional’s demand, at a price aspiring chefs can afford.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great paring knife.
*by K***R on September 19, 2023*

Fantastic paring knife, good blade size and shape, and nice large handle. The handle is quite large for the size of the blade so if your looking for a small paring knife this might be a bit big. Other than that it’s a great little knife, the plastic sheath is also a nice little addition.

### ⭐⭐ Cheap knife is cheap.
*by M***W on July 28, 2024*

I rate on bell curves. 3 is AVERAGE. 5 is exceptional.This knife is a bit below average, even for cheap knives.I love good knives, but for some tasks I don't want to use a $300+ white-steel knife I have to oil after use. Sometimes I WANT to use a cheap knife I can run through a quick sharpener and throw in a dishwasher. This looked to have the right shape and a nice handle for a cheap knife, so I gave it a try.Well, it is well-shaped. Handle and blade are well-shaped, and the guard it comes with is nice. It washes easy and has no rust/staining. That's about the best I can say.Plastic parts have unpleasant seams (which will wear down eventually) and edge-retention is sub-par, even compared to cheap clamshell-pack Walmart knives. After a dozen small-time uses - like trimming strawberries and trimming fat from chicken - the edge is dull and there's a burr on the blade I can't seem to get rid of. If it can't hold an edge against such light-duty tasks trimming strawberries and chicken fat, it doesn't deserve any praise.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ True, they are not VG-10 but...
*by E***. on August 26, 2013*

I grabbed a set from Woot at $100 and they were described correctly as AUS8 steel. Being steak knives they will probably be used on stone or ceramic plates so I'm OK with them not being VG-10.I agree $50 per knife is too much for what you're really getting.
