i'm a home cook who wanted to upgrade my knives and found Paul's finest. i never had any experience with anything other than the usual knife set knives. i reached out to Paul asking how i can best take care of my new knives and what i should look out for, the response i received was thoughtful, detailed and quick.
I've found myself using paul's finest as my go to knife store and knife care, from whetstones to new knives to add, i've ordered a handful of times and everytime it's been a positive experience.
Could not recommend this store more, it's been great for me.

Simply put, excellent catalog and service. Very prompt shipping.

This is my 3rd trip to "Paul's Boutique". I've ordered a set of knives for myself and one for my daughter. This time out was to top up my set. Paul answered countless emails with detailed information on the type of knife I was eyeing, and once again delivered an awesome product.
I need knives? It's simple - I come here. Thanks again, Paul.

While the Canada Post strike has delayed the actual products, the shopping experience here has been exceptional. This is an online retailer who still behaves like a brick and mortar shop with a knowledgable owner.
You can look online and find hundreds of reviews and thousands of opinions on what brand or model of knife or sharpener is "the best" but sometimes what you want is to learn what's the best one for you. Paul has a curated selection of products and includes his own perspective on most of this stock because an aspiring home cook doesn't need the same gear as a professional chef or sharpening service.
Even better, the prices here are very fair so you can do your research and buy from the same place.

Ton of selection at very reasonable prices. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. Shipping was quick. Communication from Paul was quick and easy.
