WTB Paring 90-130mm

[steveo]

My wife is looking for a new paring knife, something in the 90-130mm blade length range. Western or integral handle, no WA handles.

Anyone have anything interesting? Don't see much paring action on the BST forums. Something like this Evan would be great.

Thanks in advance.

If you can't find a private sale here and if you're willing to go a little shorter, JKI currently has two western parers in stock that are worth a real serious look.

Another good option could be a parer from Harner like this one. Can reach out to him on insta and buy directly. I love mine

+1 for Harner paring. I use mine every day. Wife loves it too.

+another for Harner. I have the parer and the scapel - not sure which I prefer.

Where do you guys buy these Harners? What's his instagram?

 

[daveb]

This is his insta. I just sent him a dm and got in his books. Pretty short wait and lots of choice for which wood for the handle. Definitely recommend it if you’re in the market for a parer

Here is a pic I dug up of some of his knives. The first two on the left are "kitchen scalpel" and the third is the paring. I had him make a hybrid with a paring blade and scalpel handle.

Thank you. I'm confused tho is it Lloyd or Butch?

Chatting w/ him now. His legal name is Lloyd but he goes by Butch.

Yep

FWIW - His version of the "Line Knife" - a popular trend a few years ago, was best of breed.

 

[chiffonodd]

Yep

Both Lloyd and Butch? Two different people? One person, two names?

The mystery abounds.

I hope it's ok to revive this, but I have been searching for a nice paring knife lately and this one looks excellent. What does Butch call this model, and do you know the dimensions offhand? The handle looks different (and more to my taste) than his typical paring knives.

Sure. It is his "paring" knife with the "kitchen scalpel" handle. Blade is 90mm x 26mm, 91g. Great little knife. Highly recommended. I use mine pretty much every day.

+1 for Harner. I saw a thread here a while ago and just went out and signed up for a little parer. My wife wont put it down.
