PAUDIN Chef Knife, 8 Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Sharp Kitchen Knife with Ergonomic Handle, Gift Box for Family & Restaurant

Unbelievable how well this knife has handled itself in a commercial kitchen. I bought this knowing that my companies kitchen knives are terrible (Cozini) and don't keep an edge. This knife retains it's edge through everyday use at a million dollar plus Retirement Community kitchen. When the knife seems to be getting a little dull, all it needs is a couple of swipes on some sharpening steel and it is back to razor sharp. It gets used everyday for almost a year now. And works as good as when I bought it. Definitely worth its value.

I'm a well-recognized, renowned chef. I'm a huge lover of knives and have some over forty years old that are still in use. The brand was new to me and required research. I am a huge fan of Shun, Wusthof, Henckels, and similar knives. This knife, upon removal, was a nice blend of weight, lighter than my German and Swiss knives, tad heavier than my Asian knives. The packaging was beautiful, would be a great gift for someone who loves great food and knives. Would buy more, yes I was and am a bit shocked as I did not know the brand. I found these while researching and dug into reviews across different platforms, finding that chefs did enjoy them. NO, they don't act or feel like a Shun, however they are razor sharp, comfortable to use, and again very sharp.

My expensive German knives started exploding and breaking in my hand while using them. Consumer Reports recommended Paudin. Grip is great, feels comfortable and balanced in my hand. It's sharpness is amazing. Also ordered 3 other knives with them and they got to me in 12 hours, 24 hours and 36 hours. As of right now I can't speak about edge retention. Stay tuned.

I've had this knife a couple of years now, and it's still sharp despite my forgetting to sharpen it. I do care for it well, and over all it's a great knife. The wood on the handle has started to splinter, which is my only complaint. Over all, a great knife.

The knife is very sharp. I purchased it to slice meat thin when making chicken fried steak. The box the knife arrived in was completely torn apart and in pieces. The knife however was unscathed. Really glad I wasn’t giving it as a gift.

This knife is sharp, it almost feels like a razor blade! We have owned a lot of different knives in our time including a set of the famous German kitchen knives and nothing else has been this sharp and well balanced period. I started out buying this blade for my son as a thank you for helping me with some chores around the house; well, after it came and I opened it up to check it out, I was amazed at the quality and out of the box sharpness of this knife, so I immediately ordered a second one for me.I absolutely love and recommend this chefs knife to everyone who appreciates a good blade, yes I hand wash and dry it because it is carbon steel and needs care but I think you will find it to be an absolute perfect addition to your kitchen tools.

Well made, high quality, sharp as a razor. Cuts thru meat like a hot knife thru butter. Let the knife do the work; no need to push hard. I also love how well it's balanced, right at the base of the blade. Have a sheath and tip protector are a nice touch to help maintain the sharp edge. Better than my Heinkel knives. I plan on getting the rest of the lineup. The Memorial Day discount makes it a no-brainer.

The knife is very sharp it's become my favorite for everything I do
