I recently purchase and received the limited edition Dalstrong Omega-Series BD1N-V/Hyper-Steel 4" Paring Knife—but I have a problem...My problem is this...just how do I adequately express pure, sublime “cutlery bliss” to those who’ve never yet experienced it? Let me try to count the ways I love my 4” Omega-Series Paring Knife:1. Flawless as a proof coin minted at West Point2. Stunningly beautiful as Bo Derek (I here invoke poetic license)3. Impeccably Fit and Finished as Venus Williams (sorry, I admire her)4. Sharp as a tooth from “Jaws” (couldn’t come up with a contemporary movie)5. Comfortable as Warren Buffet on his corporate jet6. Balanced like a Wallenda (oops...this might not be the best comparison)7. Performs like Joe DiMaggio8. Turns the heads of everyone who beholds (and holds) itNo, this is NOT a paid endorsement; and yes, I have been severely bitten by the Dalstrong bug, but I steadfastly refuse to seek a cure.This is my eighth Dalstrong knife, and in my book, each and every one is an esthetic/performance/value winner. They are balanced, screamingly sharp, have great edge retention, and are a pleasure to hone (but ONLY on whetstones or leather strops, please).Now, to provide myself with a modicum of objective credibility, I have read ALL of the Dalstrong reviews on Amazon, including those that are critical, especially including the two that show pictures of larger Omega-Series knives that have actually snapped into two pieces during normal use. Yikes! What happed here?My guess is that Dalstrong needs to revisit and revise their (new) production process for their innovative Omega Series BD1N-V/Hyper-Steel blades. And I trust that they shall.However, I’m going to risk keeping my 4” Paring Knife because it is smaller than those two other knives (an 8.5-inch Omega Chef’s knife, and a 7-inch Omega Santoku knife) that snapped in two, and “I’m just a fool who’s fallen in love”. We’ll see what happens, and I promise to report back after sufficient time and knife-use have passed.Of course, except for professionals, no one actually NEEDS a beautifully crafted, high-end steel, Japanese-styled Knife. But then, no one actually needs sushi and sashimi, or prime beef, or belly lox, or Dover sole, or prosciutto di Parma......but then again (I’m talking to you, Mick Jaeger), sometimes you DO get, not what you need, but EXACTLY what you WANT.
