Excellent blade, and with the expedited delivery was here the next day!! Still can't believe it arrived so quickly - I thought it was being shipped from the States so this was a very nice surprise.
For the odd reviewer on here questioning how long it will retain it's edge, these knives are designed with sharpening in mind. This hardness of this blade will mean it will keep it's edge a lot longer than many of the other knives on the market, but it will need attention from time to time. Invest in a honing steel to bring back the edge. Also it will benefit from the occasional precision sharpening a whetstone gives. Depending on how out of shape you let the blade get depends on the coarseness of the whetstone you use. Just make sure you end up with the finest you can - 8000 grit is very fine, ideal for that polished sharp edge.
I didn't manage to get the 20% discount offered on the site though - maybe it's because I paid in stirling and not dollars.
Completes my set, love this brand. Superb quality and wouldn't but anywhere else.
I love my Paudin 10 knife. I use it to slice my sourdough bread. It works so smooth and with very little effort from me. I am so happy that I bought this knife and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a good bread knife.
Simply one of the best carving knives I have tried in any price range. Cuts brisket smoothly. Love it!
