PAUDIN Chef Knife, Kitchen Knife 8 inch Professional, Japanese Knife，High Carbon Stainless Steel Chopping Knife, Carving Knife with Pakkawood Handle, Gift Box for Family & Restaurant

This is a seriously sharp knife. It handles beautifully, so easy to get great results. Does all the work for the user superb for thinly slicing hard vegetables like potatoes. Makes light work of winter vegetables, I'm looking forward to the next Dauphinouse, it's going to have lots of fine layers. I'm generally a fan of Paudin knives, the offer exceptional quality for a good price.

Lovely looking knife. Well balanced. Very sharp. Great price. Comes with protective sheath, and tip guard. Very pleased.

Wonderful knife, very sharp and needs careful handling from someone like me as this is my first professional type knife I have owned. Really very pleased.

Wasn't sure about this! Not an expensive knife when compared to some Japanese knives, but the reviews were pretty good, not that you can always rely on that. However, I am really, very very, happy, despite the difficulity a 79 year old had, trying o prove I was over 18 ;-). I am no expert but it is really sharp, best knife I own, and will be looking at buying a smaller verion soon.

I really like this product. It looks beautiful, is easy to cut, and feels comfortable in my hand.I will buy more later. Thank you for providing such a high-quality product.

Loving these knifes. They are super sharp and very reasonable price for the quality

Excellent beautifully crafted chef knife, great cutting ability a pleasure to use in the kitchen.

Best knifes i've ever used. Great weight and quality. Beautifully designed and, they remain sharp longer than any others i've used. I recently added to my collection. I've had my others for around a year and they've still not had to be sharpened. I would have bought the set with the block. However, a professional chef said never put them in a block because it blunts them and you'll end up needing to sharpen them more often. Everytime you put them in the block or take them out it blunts them a little more each time. I keep mine in a drawer or, if you have room in the kitchen you could invest in a knife magnet bar to mount on a wall in your kitchen and have them on display.
