Bought on my recent trip to Munich, the F.Dick 1905 paring knife is everything one can expect from a paring knife - versatile, small and extremely sharp. The handle has these distinctive and easily recognizable F.Dick brandmark steel rings. I bought it for 40 euro which is bargain considering the knife quality. Actually I regret not buying as well the F.Dick chef's 8" knife … [Read more...] about F.Dick 1905, Paring Knife (Officemesser), 9cm or 3 1/2″

Deglon Ceramics Knife Sharpener, 9-Inch
The Deglon Ceramics Knife Sharpener has very smooth milky white surface, something to the tune of 2,000 grit by feeling of it.

Wusthof Diamond-Coated Sharpening Steel

Unlike Deglon Oval Diamond Steel Knife Sharpener it's more steeling than grinding tool, with extra fine grit diamond coating. Actually the … [Read more...] about Wusthof Diamond-Coated Sharpening Steel

Still I like easiness of bringing really dull knife into shape with Deglon Oval Diamond Steel Knife Sharpener, a few strokes and the knife … [Read more...] about Deglon Oval Diamond Steel Knife Sharpener, 10-Inch
