Lamson 59907 Forged Birds Paring Review

I love this knife. I called it "Old Stubby" for a while, but now that I've got used to it I don't use anything else to peel strawberries or apples.

I "found" this company online and bought 4 of their knives. They are wonderful tools for the kitchen, sharp, always sharp, well balanced and pleasant to use.

I love the shape, build quality and beauty of this knife. The red scales on the handle really make this knife stand out, and the polished stainless steel adds to the beauty. The knife is instantly razor sharp, so what more could you ask for.

The edge of the blade is not straight but slightly concave, like a bird's beak blade. Anyone who sharpened it removed too much in the middle. This makes it difficult to resharpen on a waterstone wheel without changing the straight blade shape. This is a Lamson knife. A shame.

I like the regular Lampson with the red plastic handle. I wanted to take 2 of them, same size but sort of ordered. What a stupid knife. Not what I will use. Right now a paring knife, love this thing! And a chef's knife with the same handle! 3 stars because it was the wrong item, the quality was great!
