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

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

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.

Brilliant. First class product Sharp as a razor Regularly sharpen Delighted

Good all round utility knife. sharp blade and of good quality. It comes with a protective sleeve when stored.

We brought a set of 3 of these knives for our daughter at Christmas, then this single one which she feels will be more useful. Good size, excellent quality.

an excellent knife with a good sharp edge. Comfortable handle and well balanced in the hand. It feels solid with no hint of flex in the blade without feeling too heavy either. I find the (included) blade protector sleeve invaluable as it keeps the sharp blade edge protected from other equipment in an otherwise crowded cutlery draw and also prevents you from accidentally cutting yourself on it when rummaging in the draw. So far, I've not noticed any deterioration of sharpness on the blade edge. (1 Month of constant use so far)

It was easy cutting

Overall I like this knife. It is well balanced, sharp, the blade doesn't warp when chopping tough veg, etc. It would have had 5 stars except for one thing. If you look at where the handle and blade join, it is one continuous edge, there is no thumb stop. When chopping veg, you can't help but get moisture on your hand and then the smooth handle gets slippery. When your hand slips there is nothing to stop it going straight from handle to blade - I now have plasters wrapped around 3 fingers! And they aren't tiny cuts either, deep and quite sore as the blade is lovely and sharp. Shame because it is a good knife and looks good too; disappointed as was hoping to buy the set.
