Yessir ,
I picked up some low grade cutlery in a deal . Ordinairy flatware by the hundreds , a couple of ladles , a dozen el cheapo lazer cut steak knives and another dozen of plastic bone handled steak knives .
A way down in the bottom of the box was a little nondescript dusty paring knife .Nothing to look at it even appeared to have a thumb groove ground into it by an amature . Closer inspection revealed it was an Oneida :Entree Cutlery: paring knife . I don,t know if its a wood laminate or some kind of composite .
Its several thin layers nicely evident along the sculpted sides of the thumb groove . This knife reminds me of an inexpensive version of a custom knife .
One where the layers are comprised of multi-colored woods such as canary wood . In truth I think it was an all black handle that had some of the stain leached out by overlong immersion in the old dishwater . The leaching does give a pleasing effect if only to contrast the sandy colored wood with the black .
Sharp as a taxman,s eye right out of the box it only took a good wash to have it serve kitchen duty for my supper . I,m not saying its an overly expensive knife . It is a keeper and will serve me until I talk my buddy out of the damascus steel paring knife he made .
