I.O.Shen, profile paring knife

I’m going to be a bit bold here, and state that in my view, there is no better kitchen blade than I.O.Shen! I’m a keen cook and have many professional grade knives in the kitchen drawer. I hate a dull blade, and this little paring knife from I.O.Shen gets used 9 times out of 10 for any cutting job in the kitchen because it’s always sharp and so lovely to use. It’s bloody brilliant, and I challenge anyone to find me a better knife manufacturer than these. It outlasts all of my other knives for keeping sharp, including my expensive German knives.
