Old Hickory Paring Knife.

Okay been reading reviews.. of course this knife will rust! That is an actual selling point! It is high carbon steel and will sharpen to razor easily and hold the edge.It has a wooden handle! You can damage it by soaking it in water!You use it clean it and put it up. This knife will last for decades! I know because everyone on both sides of my family has decade old old hickory.By the thing. Learn how to treat a knife. Enjoy using a sharp forever damn knife!

Cannot say enough good things about these GREAT knives!! I grew up with Old Hickory knives in the house and just can't do without at least one or two in the kitchen. They are of sturdy construction, hold their edge really well and frankly I have not found another product that comes close to the Old Hickory brand!! It can be sharpened if it starts to dull and if you take care of it, will last you just about forever!! I would not have had to buy anymore but as my kids left home and moved into places of their own I noticed my Old Hickory left with them! HA! If you need a GREAT paring knife I cannot recommend this brand highly enough! Service was really good and I got them packed well before I expected them. Great product and great service.

This knife was used one time and hand washed. The blade is now almost completely rusted. In addition I would have liked it to be a little sharper.

We use this knife a lot for small jobs. I keep this knife sharp and the blade materal is easy to sharpen.

It’s a good product I grew with my grandparents using old hickory. But I’m pretty sure the true old hickory paring knife where full tang to where this knife is a half rat tang or at least that’s what I call it. The metal is true carbon steel I bought it for my mom she didn’t oil it afterwards and now there’s little rust spots but no big deal. It didn’t come that sharp so I’ll definitely be putting a edge on it with the worksharp, the edge can cut don’t get me wrong but just not sharp like my grandparents where back in the day and that’s what I want. The next old hickory will be there butcher knife with the 10 or 14 inch blade like my grandparents use to have. I just want a little bit of old put back in this world and by buying old hickory knives is my way of doing it lol. But it will definitely rust so make sure you dry it good and hit it with a little bit of olive oil and you’ll be good to go!

Handle was loose. Very dull and could not get a sharp edge. Verry disappointed with this. Was made in U.S.A. but looks and performs like China quality. Save your money

So, although I love this brand of knives you need to know the blade will darken and look dingy. That is the metal they are made from. You have to sharpen these knives as well. However, once you get a nice sharp edge it holds for a long time. I still use my grandmothers. I even buy this brand at auctions and flea markets. The wood handles will also lose their finish. Thats normal for Old Hickory knives.

Cheap price, rugged, classic. Remember, this is carbon steel, not stainless. That is why it take a nice edge, but you have to care for it. For camping I put mine in a toothbrush holder, and I also carry a small piece of fleece rag with a hint of mineral oil on it. After washing the knife, I dry it thoroughly, then rub the oiled fleece over the blade. No rust.
