    What surprised me most about this knife is the perfect balance it strikes between blade thickness and rigidity. The thin blade glides through fruit, and easily carves tomatoes without squashing them. And yet, the blade never wobbles or flexes when I work with it.

    This design feels very different from the traditional curved drop-point paring knives. The straight edge, triangular pointed blade gives you a lot of flexibility when doing detail work. It is especially noticeable in sharp turns, such as carving the core out of an apple.

    Specs:
    Full tang, no bolster, with classic triple rivet handle
    Material: X50CrMoV15, Tempered Carbon Steel
    Weight: 60g
    Handle length: 3 7/8 inch
    Blade length: 3 3/4 inch
    Blade width (top-to-edge, at handle): 3/4 inch

    Functionality: 5/5
    +thin, yet rigid. The blade only flexes slightly

    +the narrow blade is perfect for detail work

    +perfect for peeling. The shavings are paper-thin, reducing waste

    -handle feels just a little small

    Fit and Finish: 4/5
    +no cracks, or chips in handle

    +handle integration is very good. The transition from plastic to metal is smooth.

    +no sharp edges. I didn't have to do any polishing to get this knife ready to use.

    +smooth rivet connections on the handle

    -the edge was very dull out of box. Other FDick knives I have arrived sharp, so this is likely a one-off QA issue.

    -angle on the bevel is too wide at approximately 22 degrees. To get the best performance I suggest re-profiling to 15 degrees per side.

    Value: 5/5
    +lower cost than comparable German-made paring knives. For example, the Wusthof classic paring knife comes in at $50.
