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

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.

A beautiful and beautifully made knife.

Unsure of actual steel used. Box says VG10, papers say special makeup of AUS-10, knife blade says Damascus steel. Knife feels good, blade is very sharp. Would be nice to know what it’s really made from though. Seems well made for a decent price.
