This knife is commonly used to paring and peeling. The pointing tip can be used for intricate work off the cutting board. Mac knives are Known as some of the sharpest knives, They have razor-like edges for effortless slicing, they are hard so they stay sharp longer, One slice with MAC knives and you will experience for yourself a new definition of sharpness, nicely balanced and are a good value.

With more weight to it, the MAC Professional is a high-end knife that will look great in your kitchen.

 Now, of course, I may be wrong, but I returned it and ordered a knife costing $10 more which I hope will be worth the price. I'm sure you can buy knives costing less than half the price which are probably 60 to 70 % as good, but if you desire perfection, which I imagine is the motivation for someone buying a knife costing as much as you'll pay for this one, you won't get it buying this knife.

 However, when my knife arrived, it was dull by my standards. A simple test I use to gauge the sharpness of my kitchen knives, which, by the way are all of Japanese manufacture and superb, is whether they will cut a paper towel when drawn across the edge. This knife failed, even when I applied a lot of pressure. When I examined the edge, I found the taper on one side ~ twice that on the other; furthermore, I found the angle of the taper on the heel of the broadly tapered side of a different angle than the rest of the edge

I imagine not many souls will pay attention to this review, and for most people it may prove irrelevant. I do not know the quality of the steel of which this knife is made, which to me is the most important consideration since it is the major factor that determines its utility.

 I feel like a professional using these knives, and will take care of them and likely pay to have them professionally sharpened. I feel as if they were a wise investment..

 Wow, am I glad I did. These feel very natural in my (probably larger than average) hands. I feel like a professional using these knives, and will take care of them and likely pay to have them professionally sharpened. I feel as if they were a wise investment

Fantastic knife

I am most unhappy with this knife. First off the thing rusts very easily. Do not leave it in water for any length of time. My particular knife has either impurities or poor bonding between the blade and the tang

This knife rusts easily.

Steel quality not as advertised. Knife shows rust spots, which is absolutely an indication that the promised steel quality is not present. No way this has the consistency promised and charged for. Knife is well designed but not wearing well at all

Rusts all of the time - steel isn’t as promised

 But if you’re like me and have to have the best of everything, this is the one to get. I also love the Mac chef’s knife.

Does anyone really need a paring knife that’s this expensive? No. Get the Victorinox Fibrox and enjoy your strawberry hulling. But if you’re like me and have to have the best of everything, this is the one to get. I also love the Mac chef’s knife

Best choice for snobs

 I will try to update this review in a few months to see how sharp it stays and how well it sharpens.

After owning a number of cheaper knives, I bought this paring knife at the recommendation ofAn Edge in the Kitchen: The Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Knives -- How to Buy Them, Keep Them Razor Sharp, and Use Them Like a Pro . After using it for two days, I love it. Great weight, balance and shape. Very sharp, even with the manufacturers out-of-the-box sharpness (I actually had to adjust how I use a paring knife to avoid cutting myself)

Great knife

 This knife is not as pretty as the Shun it replaced, but it's much better quality! (I say this because it didn't immediately start to rust after the first use like the Shun did) I've been using it for a few months now with no signs of wear.  This knife has a very subtle design that doesn't jump out as much as the Shun did immediately, but it's grown on me since owning the knife. I get bummed out when I'm working on something in the kitchen that requires a different knife! This will definitely not be the last Mac knife I purchase; I can't recommend it enough.

Great knife!  Reliable and maintains a good edge!

The Best Paring Knife

bazaarvoice

The Kyocera revolution series 2-Piece gift set includes a 5. 5-Inch Santoku knife and a 3-Inch Paring knife; essential tools for the home cook looking to prepare fresh meals with ease. From Kyocera's most popular line of advanced ceramic knives, designed with a comfortable, ergonomic handle for precise control. The ceramic blades are made from a proprietary zirconia material produced in Japan and stays razor sharp at least 10 times longer than traditional knives, making them ideal for everyday use. The perfect choice for slicing fruits, vegetables and boneless meats. Not intended for frozen or hard foods..

TechGearLab

The Kyocera Advanced Ceramic is a super sharp santoku knife with a ceramic blade. It excels pretty uniformly for delicate herbs, or on firmer veggies, like carrots. Its small size makes it a good option for people with small hands. It's a nimble knife that allows for precise cuts. It could even be a great beginner knife for children looking to improve their skills in the kitchen. It is comfortable to hold, its plastic handle is durable, and the whole thing is easy to wash. 
Like other short blades, this model doesn't stand up quite as well to hefty root vegetables or produce with thick skin. It is also very lightweight, which could be a plus for some, but also means that it doesn't carry the heft you need for larger chopping jobs. Having said that, we love this knife and recommend it highly.

The most expensive part of this kit broke very easily and splintered into a brick of cheese I was cutting. If you are a sushi chef, then these knifes may be beyond great for you, but if you intend on cutting thick meat, cheese, or anything else with the larger blade of the set that is considered somewhat difficult to cut, or thick, do not expect the knife to last long and be extremely cognizant of small peace’s of the ceramic knife breaking in your food. A very, Very real concern and warning of caution. The big knife is way to thin and could shatter into your food

 It almost happened to me but I caught it. I have cheaper ceramic knives that are tougher, more rugged, and Cheaper (but much THICKER than these knifes which leads to the forever life span ceramics advertise). No body wants to find a razor blade in their apple, and I am only being brutally honest because the larger thin blade could give you that result if you are not always very cognizant of the condition of your blade. Always look at the edge and make sure no little peace splintered off

Always look at the edge and make sure no little peace splintered off. Be cautious and know what your buying, a very, very thin blade. It’s so thin it’s translucent

 Always be cautious and cognizant when using ceramic blades of any kind, but this one takes the dangerous cake. Sorry guys.. :( have to be brutally honest

Very important to know what you are buying here

 I've used the pairing knife to pit cherries (not prying! just slicing around the pit) and there is no hint of staining on the blade. And anyone who worked with a lot of fruits and vegetables knows that cherries are one of the most staining fruits around.  Overall I think anyone buying this set needs to be aware that a ceramic blade is a specialized tool for a specific task. It is a great addition to the toolkit if you are slicing a lot of fruits and vegetables and don't want to have to hone your blades after every few uses

 I think if the handle it not providing enough grip then you are trying to cut something you should not be cutting with this blade.  For people who have said the blade isn't sharp I think they may have gotten a badly honed blade. As I examined the edge very closely I noted that the way it was sharpened suggests to me that it was done by hand. What I mean is that the honed part did not have a uniform thickness across the entire knife blade

  First, anyone buying this set needs to understand that material physics go like this, the harder something is the more brittle it is. Ceramic blades are extremely hard and thus must be extremely brittle. So yes, you have to be careful with this set but that is not Kyocera's fault it is just the way that materials work. For something to be both very hard and not brittle it would be Adamantium and that only exists in comic books

 I bought a new set rather than use a chipped blade because I'm afraid I might chip off another piece now that the blade isn't 100% straight I may not notice and could end up with a chip in my food (yikes). It was really my own fault, I dropped a pretty heavy glass bottle on it. Obviously you can't chip a metal blade so that is a drawback of ceramic. However, this blade has remained razor sharp through 3 years of fairly heavy use

Great for juicing

 I took it as a good sign and grabbed a set when it was on sale. As warned, I cut myself the third time using it, but they're so sharp that makes cutting hard vegetables a snap - I can't even go back to my old knives anymore (they've been put to hibernate) Now, they do stain, especially after I cut carrots, the white blade turns a little orange despite prompt washing, but since they make my life so much easier, a little stain is really no big deal. The real problem is, because it's ceramic, it's very fragile. When I goofed and left the Santoku on the rack, it slid into the sink and you guess it, it chipped, right in the middle of the blade

I have been using some dull knives for a long time and decided to upgrade. When I read the reviews, some of them did warn that the only problem with these knives is they are sharp.

 But I'm sure it will still work better than my old knives, so I probably will come back for another set in the future. If you always get frustrated cutting, these knives will set you free!

So sharp but so fragile

 I understand that there are issues with installing handles on ceramic blades, but there must be a better material. You can feel the raised seam that runs down the center of the handles, they are a little slick when wet, and they otherwise look and feel low grade. I would gladly pay more for the same blades with upgraded handles.

 I do suspect that a fall onto a tile floor would not end well for the blades. Unfortunately, the molded plastic handles feel cheap and are not all that comfortable.
