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.

I was looking online for damascus knives, more window shopping than anything. I came across Pauls Finest knives and they all had rave reviews. Then I noticed Pauls is in Montreal, where I live. Decided to go ahead and support a local business. Paying with PayPal managed to autofill the wrong delivery address. Immediately emailed and within minutes Paul replied and said he would fix it and not to worry. I ordered a 9 inch and 6 inch knife and was immediately blown away by the look. Having not owned a damascus knife before I was eager to try and being extra careful, managed to graze my thumb and draw blood in 30 seconds. Sooooo sharp. Used them for about three weeks now and they are a wonderful whole new experience. I'm afraid to go and visit in person, who knows what I'll come away with.

I saw Paul's Finest mentioned in various woodworking forums as a good source for stones for sharpening tools and given current geopolitical climate it is always great to support small Canadian businesses so I bought my sharpening stones here. Products were flawless and very well shipped.

I am going to review what I purchased after more usage, but from an online purchase experience, PaulsFinest was easy.

Prices are very competitive, communication was excellent, and shipping was fast.

The items I got were cheaper at Paul's than anywhere else. Shipping rates are very reasonable if you are below the minimum threshold for free shipping. Packages are dispatched extremely quickly and everything came as described and well packed. Highly recommended, great store to deal with!

Fast service and the best customer care from Paul's Finest.

I wasn't familiar with Paul's Finest until I was looking for a Shapton stone and it came up in my search. Best pricing, prompt service and fast delivery. A winning combination.

Ordered some diamond matrix stones for my edge pro. Shipping was very fast. Great stones as well. Would definitely deal with Pauls Finest again! Happy customer

I have been shopping at Paul’s Finest for 20 years. Quality products, competitive pricing and exemplary service have always been a cornerstone of the business.

In stock… same day shipping….
Quality products at competitive prices.
I am spoiled… not used to this type of service.
BIG thank you.
5 stars for sure.

Great website - easy to navigate. Prompt delivery and well packed. The stones are excellent. Would definitely buy again when needing products that Paul's Finest carry.

Paul's has an excellent selection of whetstones at good prices. Every time I ordered from Paul's, the products were always well packaged and shipped out quickly.

I'm always surprised by Paul's ability to get my order out so quickly. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I received a "Mailing Confirmation" email within an hour of placing my online order... WOW!!!
Every order I receive is perfectly packaged, with strong outer box and all inner space filled with environmentally friendly packing.
I love that Paul gives his opinion on individual items within his website, and it was one of his comments that helped me to make a decision on my most recent purchase (a whetstone that proved to be invaluable to my sharpening needs).
If you're looking for quality products and a personal service, this is the place for you.
Thanks Paul!

Great Canadian source for edge, pro products, and knife sharpening stones, good prices and speedy shipping! Fantastic selection of knives and sharpening products.

I've order a couple times now from Paul's and couldn't be happier. Super quick communication, great prices and lightening fast shipping.

Highly recommended Canadian vendor. They are my go-to for Edge Pro sharpening supplies and other stones etc.
