Paring knives

[lindag]

I need a new 4" parring knife with an Asian blade.  Do you have any recommendations?

I know there some sharp knife enthusiasts among us.

I have this one, the 4 1/2" Wustoff Classic and am very happy with it.

Any chance you can link to a photo that shows the Asian blade?  I’m curious what it looks like an how it’s used. 
 

My paring knife went missing so I bought this cheapie Victorinox paring knife (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

It scared my old one out of hiding but it’s been handy to have a spare.

Asian blades have a 15 degree bevel. a picture  can't show that.

I really like the look of that knife but I want an Asian blade for the extra sharpness

I guess that is not what you want, but it is advertised and sold as an Asian Utility knife.  Are you looking for an Asian brand?

I have a Tojiro petty (paring knife) and have been quite happy with it, along with our Tojiro chicken boning knife. Other manufacturers may be better entries in a "my knife is sharper than yours" contest () but I have found Tojiro to be easily sharp enough for everything I need to do, quite durable, and excellent value.

^ I did not do a price check, so other sources may be less expensive. Good luck with whatever you choose!

Noy necessarily, just want a knife with an Asian (15 degree blade)
