Paul; I did get the knives just before Christmas. Thank you for all your extra effort to help me out. They are wonderful and have been well used over the Christmas holidays. Thanks again for your excellent customer service.
A perfectly balanced, beautifully crafted, hard-working masterpiece. I'd take small exception with Chef Nakano's "Not for novices" comment - *any* cook's best friend is a great knife, and this is truly a great knife.
And Paul, your service is exceptional. Thanks!
