PAUDIN Utility Knife 5'', 67-Layer Forged Damascus Kitchen Knives | Ultra Sharp Petty Knife, Paring Knives for Cutting Fruit and Vegetables, Full Tang G10 Handle with Triple Rivets

Very nicely finished, well balanced and sharp knife. Super happy with the finish quality of both blade and handle. Too early to tell how well it'll retain its edge or take to susequent sharpening, but it arrived very sharp! I recommend and would purchase again.

Unlike many other similar products on the market, this knife is a true damascus steel knife: the steel is hard and resilient. The quality of the product is outstanding. Very good deal for the price. Out of the box, it is very sharp, but warning for those who don't have good knife sharpening skills: this knife takes a while to sharpen, but it stays sharp for a long time.

I'm a knife enthusiast. I collect and make outdoor knives and appreciate a well-balanced, comfortable and sharp kitchen knife. I've tried several, including many off of Amazon, and this line and THIS class, is excellent. They make some less-expensive blades too, but I wouldn't waste my time with those. They're hollow feeling (too light) and the metal is subpar IMO. THESE are wonderful, but on the pricey side. Don't get me wrong, you can easily pay a lot more (and even get a worse product) than this, but some people will scoff at paying 50 bucks or more for a single knife. These are weighty, well-balanced, and sharp. They also look great in a block. I got some KUTZ brand a while back with laminated VG10 steel with a Damascus look and pinged finish that I really like, but it seems that they've since been discontinued. HIGHLY recommended - esp. if you have stone-sharpening skills as this will help rejuvenate the edge when without roughing it up. I recommend waiting for a sale. I currently have the utility knife and will be adding the bread knife soon.

Great knife

I ordered one of these 5" parers by Paudin in 2021. It became my go-to knife....the one I reached for first. The handle has a great feel and the blade remains sharp and effective. Since I used it for so many cutting tasks, I decided to purchase another in 2024 so I would always have a clean one for each task. I also purchased one of the smaller fruit paring knives from this company and I don't find I use it regularly because its blade is thicker and it's more awkward for me to use. I keep going back to my 5" utility knife. Highly recommend products from Paudin!

Nice knife. Did not come with a protective sheath to store it between uses. The others do. Disappointed.

Very ultra sharp as advertised. No complaints here. I have large hands so I expected the length of the handle to be a bit short.

A beautiful and beautifully made knife.
