Paring knife not scalloped

I have all classic Wusthof for $140 after tax/shipping purchased from Cutlery and More in 2017. It's served me well only needing an annual sharpening. This deal would be a good starting point!
Advantages of the hilt are: can use it to do some light smacking / crushing and breaking up various food ingredients. Another advantage with a paring like this is that you can push the food with your thumb all the way to the hilt, and your thumb will stop safely against the hilt, the same technique with with no hilt will result in cut fingers/thumbs, unless the knife is very dull. I tend to prefer dull knives for splitting / paring where hands and fingers may be vulnerable. The other option is to get one of those shark swimmer / butcher style protective ring mail hand glove, then it's impossible to cut your off hand.
disadvantage of hilt is that it makes sharpening more difficult, in fact towards the hild it's common to see very sharp knives with the very bottom of the blade dull / not sharpened well. bc it's a real issue

If you're not lazy, you can also buy your own whetstone and sharpen on your own if you're curious.
Love them.
But you should definitely get knives for what you need and build a set. I trim pork butts daily. These are perfect. Someone else may need an 8" instead.
I purchased a Mercer M21077 Genesis 8" short-bolster forged chefs knife with granton (hollow) edge 6 1/2 years ago, and it's become my favorite knife, despite being a lower quality knife than the Wusthof. It's more prone to staining, but it's nicely balanced and really holds an edge, and is much easier to sharpen. The granton edge feature is of very marginal benefit for certain types of slicing, but certainly not necessary.

I would recommend the Amazon deal, because the 6" knife is fully bolstered, and much safer.
