Great store, as usually!

Deboning knife. Excellent experience as usual. I was sad that this small slice of the world of knives is winding down.

Fabulous service from Paul, for MANY years.......and fabulous items...
always an UNALLOYED pleasure to do business...!!

Always arrive on time and as described. Very happy.

Shopped other stores over the years and then I found Paul's site and is now my go to. I did do a comparison and Paul's came out as all-around Best Deal and service.

This Wusthof filet knife is great. My son already broke it in by nicking one of his fingers........yes, it is sharp! It was just perfect in removing the excess fat from the meat. I am pleased.

I have dealt with Paul for many years. I bought my first Japanese knife ( Moritaka petty) from him ...... I now have all the Moritakas !
Paul has always delivered as promised and has given good honest advice.
Friends who I referred to Paul feel the same.
My most recent order was some Shapton glass stones and these are great.

Always a great experience ordering from Paul, easy online ordering process , fast delivery and great products. I have ordered multiple times both for personal use and gifts and have been completely satisfied every time.

Good product, fast shipping

Great product; very helpful and responsive to questions.

Just received a shapton glass 320 and 2000 and a naniwa stone whetstone holder at a great price and rapid shipping. thank you. I am assembling a small kit for friend's kitchen. I have used the 320 stone before to renew several edges along with several other Shapton glass stones, for clients with great results.. They were pleased and have provided me with repeat business so of course I am pleased as well. Thanks Paul's Finest you make my side gig easier and reputable.

Excellent experience. Personal and prompt attention to shipping request. Product was as described.

Order placed on a Saturday, within 2 hours it was shipped.
Best prices I can find in Canada, great packaging. Really cannot ask for more.

Perfect

I ordered a couple of Atoma Diamond sharpening plates a few weeks back, as I've been updating my sharpening system in my workshop. The price was good, communication excellent and the product arrived promptly. I've been very pleased with their performance thus far and would not hesitate to order from PaulsFinest again in the future.

I've bought many items from Paul's Finest over several years. Always a great experience! Shipping is always prompt, and items are securely packed. Communication is excellent. Prices are good, while quality is always first rate. Have never regretted a purchase...

Ordered the knife was contacted immediately the order was received and continued to receive updates on the shipment Prompt delivery Received knife in pristine condition , great quality Will order another type of knife soon Product looks same ad advertised

Not only was my order shipped very quickly, it was received quickly, and it was VERY well packed. But to top it all off, I asked for some advice from Paul and he provided EXCELLENT information, and a link to a super solution! Would HIGHLY recommend this vendor!

Great service. My order was shipped within hours and arrived well packed.

This is a store I will definitely buy from again, the best prices I've found and they were more than willing to help with any requests I had after the order. This is how I wish all other businesses would operate.

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.
