Not the Fibrox handle and you can see in other reviews that have been complaining about the misleading product name dating back to 2012/2013 - why won't Amazon fix this? Otherise, it's a great paring knife for the price.

This is a nice knife and it looks great, especially at this price point.  I plan to use it for some light whittling and I'm sure the three blades will do the trick.  My favorite part is the beautiful red scale used for the handle.  I'm not sure if it's bone, I doubt it considering the price (and how fragile it is), but it's still nice regardless.  The only thing I don't really like about it is how hard it can be to pull the blades to open them - it's what some would call a nail breaker, especially the small clip blade.  Also, be careful with this knife, especially if you're standing on a hard surface.  Not long after I took it out of the box, I dropped it on my hardwood floor and chipped a part of the red scale on the handle.  It's not a big issue and it's a small chip, but I can only imagine how bad it could be if it were dropped higher and on a harder surface like concrete.

This is a great little paring knife, very reasonably priced, sharp, and good Swiss Steel. The larger knives are also very good and a America's Test Kitchen favorite.

The knife itself is very good for the price. It comes razor sharp from the factory and feels very good in the hand. This knife is handy for a variety of kitchen tasks as well as its intended outdoor uses. The highly-visible orange handle on the 152OTO is perfect for hunting, fishing and camping where finding your knife fast is good and losing your knife would really suck.

Speaking of suck, the only thing I don't like about this knife is the black nylon sheath. In less than a week the needle-like tip of the blade poked right through the thin nylon of the sheath. I'm shopping around for a replacement sheath, but I still can't fault the knife for it... especially since it's so inexpensive.

I now use this little guy as my paring knife most of the time, it's very handy since I do more small chopping than peeling.  Get the big one too, it's great also.

This is a really great knife at this price point. It is hefty so I wouldn't recommend it as an edc. I use mine when camping for larger tasks. my only complaint is that some of the black coating on the back edge of the blade is chipping. I haven't used it enough in my opinion for that to happen already. That being said I recommend it as a great knife, good steel, and a good price.

This is a very functional knife, it is Sharp!!!
I bought it as a pre-Christmas deal and I am happy with it.
  It is utilitarian, the rubber handle feels comfortable.
The drawback, for some, is that the knife is kind of ugly.  The tang has a reddishbrown plastic piece that looks rather unfinished, between the metal and the handle.  For me, that doesn't matter.  The curve of the blade and the sharpness are wonderful and the handle is comfortable.
great for boning meats or for dicing vegetables.  With effort it will get through frozen chicken breasts, but it's a little too flexible, and it's not designed to be used as a cleaver.

For a boning knife, it's great, and at under $10 it was a great deal.  I will probably pick up more Tom Douglas knives because I am happy with this one.

For the price, I love this knife, I can save my good knifes and use this for the mag strip or doing something that could damage or dull a blade. I do suggest replacing the string with actual para-cord though.

This is a great knife, especially for the price point.  I have a growing collection of Japanese carbon steel knives that are great, but as some know, you pay an arm and a leg for them.  This is a really sharp knife that cuts well, and feels well balanced in my hands.  An excellent daily go-to knife for most cutting and slicing.

For about $10 you can have three great knives, one of which was rated by America's Test Kitchen as best paring knife hands down regardless of price. I use really just the paring knife as it is easy to use in many small tasks and is light and flexible. at around $4-5 a piece separately you are basically getting a free knife with purchase of two.

As for the wavy edge and the birds beak i do not really use that often. For fruit I sometimes use the birds beak parer but generally find the straight edge easier to use.

This set is not perfect though, the handles are not the same type of grippy fibrox used in the larger kitchen knives, I really liked that feature like in the chef's knife when things got wet or oily. another thing, though the knives were sharp out of the box, the thinness of the metal, which gives it flexibility, creates an edge that gets worn easily, for the straight knife thats not much of a problem, but for the other two sharpening I imagine would be a hassle. Then again you can always just get another set as they are priced so low.

I am a police officer and found of knives, this is a great knife for the price. A comparable knife from a uniform shop would sell for $50 and up.

These knives are very nice, especially considering the price.  You might wonder why you need three paring knives.  Well, the bird's beak knife really does make peeling an apple or such easier than an ordinary paring knife.  The trimming knife has some advantages of the bird's beak knife with a pointed end, but I haven't found anything it's specifically superior for.  The sheep's foot knife is my favorite shape for a general-use vegetable and fruit knife.

If you do much knife work on fruit and vegetables, you'll enjoy having all three.

Great paring knife, lightweight fits perfectly in your hand.

This is a very fine small utility knife.  It is extremely sharp and it is comfortable in my rather small hand. Some previous reviewers have said it is not shaped properly for paring, but I don't use a knife for paring so I can't comment on that.  I have several of the other Komachi 2 series knives and they are all fine sharp knives for very reasonable prices.  I only deducted one star from this item because it came with an odd standup sheath/holder which takes up more space in my utensil drawer than the flat sheaths which came with the other knives.

I use this knife in the kitchen as a paring knife,  Razor sharp, good quality stainless steel, and the plastic sheath is perfect for drawer storage.
best paring knife you can buy for the cost

For the price, it's certainly a very good knife. I needed one for work that I didn't care too much about getting beat up, and it definitely fits the bill.

It was a little stiff and the spring assist didn't open it all the way when I received it, but after lubricating it and a couple of days breaking it in, it opens nicely now.

I'm kind of a knife snob, but I'd certainly recommend this for everyday use.

Nice knife for the price.  The only real drawback is the sheath which is cheap and the knife easily cuts through it & catches on it when holstering the knife.  Besides the sheath, the knife itself is basically a big hunk of metal with some cheap cord for the handle.  I immediately discarded the handle wrap that came with it, and re-wrapped the handle with 550 paracord.  It's looking pretty good now after a little sharpening & the fire-starter works like a charm.  For a knife that costs around $10, I'm not disappointed at all.
