Unboxing Don Nguyen Paring Knife

This is a little album I made of a new Don Nguyen paring knife and saya I recently received. I was really impressed with the workmanship, and later the performance of the knife. It's going to make a lovely new addition to the home collection.

I've thrown a couple of the images into this post as a teaser. First of the balance point, second as a size comparison to a couple other knifes for scale (sorry, no banana on hand).

 

Great paring knife. Congrats

 

DTN does amazing work...congrats!

 

Great looking knife!!

 

NICE..... Good lord that young man does some killer work, amazing! Don, you rule!

 

Aawww that excitement when you first lay eyes on that box knowing what's in there! Better than a first kiss!

 

beautiful knife. You are one lucky guy!

 

Yeah dons work is ************** amazing. excuse my french. I wish I could get my hands on his first single bevel or a gyuto from him. Who knows what the future may hold for me having one of his knives and how amazing his knives become. He is a talented dude to say the least.

 

******. I want one. Your lucky. Enjoy it

 

He does, and even better...he's an incredibly humble and genuinely nice guy. I'm honored to call him a friend.

Spaz, you've been kissing the wrong girls my friend!!

 

Very nice thing to say, Cris. From all that I have heard, that is 100% true.

 

Just truth brother! Don's a top shelf kind of guy...it's easy to say good stuff about guys like that .

 

Extremely refreshing to here, brother. Good things happen to good people.

 

I admit it, I've kissed some ugly girls in my day.

 

I have to say, I've been happier with some of my kisses, but not many! He was a very cool guy as well. His dedication is very clear. I also wanted to add one thing I've noticed after using if for a few days. The funky triangular formation at the front of the handle is actually very comfortable to hold - as you pinch the blade, the crook of my finger rests snugly against this shape, making it very stable to use. Alas, I am using it sparingly, I don't want to dull the blade! I'm pretty good with my stones, but I'm not sure I'll ever get it quite this sharp again...

 

nice. Love the pointed bolster
