Are these paring knives on steroids or chef knives with an inferiority complex? This beautiful, little workhorse makes the gourmet cutting and chopping of small foods fun. A.K.A. the "Cheese Cleaver"-it is great to sit out with a plate of gourmet, artisan cheese.
We sent one of our mini choppers to Wine Spectator magazine and they decided to do a little editorial on it. Here's what they had to say:
'A Real Cut Up: Prettiness is not normally what draws one to buy a knife, any more than cute colors make one want a computer. A knife should simply do its job. However, when a knife does its job as well as these examples from New West Knifeworks, a little prettiness is OK... the Fusionwood model is gorgeous- and feels good in the hand too.....These knives are sharp as blazes. Who cares if they happen to be pretty too?' Wine Spectator, Dec. 2006. View the original article.
Each knife comes in an embossed leather sheath.
