PAUDIN Utility Knife, Kitchen Knife 5 Inch, High Carbon Stainless Steel, Multipurpose Paring Knife for Fruit and Vegetable Cutting with Wooden Handle, Premium Gift Box

I have already recommended this brand to many of my friends. The Nakiri knife is superb - well balanced, very comfortable in the hand, very sharp (still, after a lot of use!) and makes meal prep more of a pleasure than a chore. I will definitely buy more from this brand - excellent quality and real value for money too.

Beautiful knife. Sharp. Balanced. Easy in the hand. Good quality make. I have two different paudins. Very pleased.

Only had it for a week, feels really nice to use and very sharp. Time will tell but I’m very impressed for the price. This comes nicely presented so would make an excellent gift 👌🏽

These appear to be a generic Chinese product that several other sellers also rebrand as theirs and sell them on Amazon. It uses the same spec German steel but is manufactured in China. The handles feel a bit budgety other than that, they look nice. They are indeed sharp and Nakiri knife has a slightly curved edge which makes shredding, dicing etc. very easy to do. They are quite light but having said that my previous knives were way too heavy, these seem far easier to control. You will need to store these in some sort of block or magnetic holder otherwise you will more easily dull the edge or worse, cut yourself if you just store them in a draw with other things. They say they will replace them for a lifetime, if that is the case, that lifts them above other brands. I paid just under £60 for these, they do vary in price to don't pay more. Of course you are likely to be able to get the exact same quality knives from other sellers, as mentioned earlier, for less. I choose these as they have been reviewed by external sites so Paudin do seem to want to build a reputation. Time will tell how they hold up but these are overall very good knives, currently cut brilliantly, and at a reasonable price point. For normal household use I see no point spending anymore money for your knives, these will do the job very nicely. For heavy use or non domestic use, you may wish to look at proper Damascus steel, which costs quite a bit more.

Comfortable, balanced, sharp, looks well-made.

This knife is a seriously good bit of kitchen kit. It's very sharp. Glides through vegetables and meat effortlessly. Comes with a compact blade protector which ensures it's safe to store in a drawer - no accidents. Good value too

Beautiful knife, well balanced, not too heavy. Very sharp straight out of the box.

Amazing! Cutting carrots like cutting through soft butter! And it's got that real chef's look, which I love 😁
