SHAN ZU Damascus Knife Set, Japanese Super Steel 3 PCS Damascus High Carbon Professional Ultra-Sharp Kitchen Chef Knife Set with G10 Handle Gift Box

Amazing in every way. Balanced well, fits small and large hands well, sharp very sharp and it’s very attractive too. Slices vegetables or meat very thinly. Tomatoes and other vegetables do not stick to the blade. The only downside is the is no blade protector.

Carefully packaged with lots of bubble wrap and cardboard. Each knife was packed individually in a cardboard sleeve and bubble wrap with little plastic tips to protect the tips of the knives.Absolutely beautiful and makes an elegant statement on my kitchen counter. The wood block is gorgeous with fine, tight grain wood and thoughtfully recessed routing around each knife slot. This way, the block top is kept pristine and any nicks made inserting knives in the block top won’t show. I have never seen this thoughtful feature on any other knife set of any price. Also love the engraved logo on front. Nothing glued on to loosen and fall off.The knives themselves are beautiful works of art which are super sharp, well made, full tang, with good weight and comfortable grip. Cutting is a breeze!I like that this set has all the basic knives I need without extraneous knives I’d never use.Only downside is that the set is tall under my kitchen counters and I’ll have to slide the block forward to remove a knife. Slightly inconvenient, however, that is hardly a deal breaker. Looking forward to using this set for years to come!

This is a really cool knife. The indentations along the side a really cool. It reminds me of a choppy ocean. The Damascus layering is not as noticeable as it appears in the images but they are there. The handle is solid. It's definitely a quality chef knife with good weight to it, making cutting solid and easy. It come sharp so be careful with handling it, including when cleaning it.

The knife is very sharp, well balanced and a great deal for the money. I just wish products were accurately described and I am not lead on as a consumer. But I also know, you probably can't buy an actual Damascus for this price, BUT was expecting that I had found an insane deal because of the description that literally says "REAL Damascus, 67 layers..." It is 100% etched on design and the the texture added to the blade is just to fool others who don't know any better. Other than being completely lied to, I actually do like this knife. The price was totally fair for what I got. I am an in home personal chef and use the knife everyday, all day. It has not chipped, it stays quite sharp and does the job. I also wish it came with a sheath, as it's hard to find one after the fact, that fits the knife perfectly. Is there a way to buy a sheath from the same company that is made for this particular knife?? If so, maybe the company will see this and reach out? If they do, I will attach a like to this review.

When the other reviewers say that this is a sharp knife they are not exaggerating. This knife is undoubtedly the sharpest knife I have ever purchased, bar none, almost scary sharp. I have used it cutting meat and vegetables, and it slides effortlessly through everything. A real pleasure to use.It is also a beautiful knife, very well constructed, good balance and comfortable in your hand.The manufacturer's attention to detail that went into this knife is clearly evident in the finished product. The only thing that would make this knife even better is if it came with a safety sheath to protect it in my knife drawer. (found one made by CfoPiryx for $6, perfect fit)You can spend more money on a chef's knife but I don't think you could purchase a knife of much better quality than this one. For just $50 AND free return it's well worth giving it a try.

Incredible set of knives! Beautifully made and super sharp. Wife loves them. She says they're so amazing she's saving them for me when I come home late. Maybe she's gonna make me some special food? I don't know. But she sure loves them, though!

Excellent Santoku, Arrived late but the knife is a pleasure. I read many reviews before purchased and the positive ones hold true. A couple different people said the blade rusts easily, that is probably because they didn't dry the knife properly. Another said they are not Damascus steel, but rather just etched to look like layered Damascus. Untrue, they are Damascus steel. I am pleased with the weight distribution and have no reason to doubt this knife will be very useful to me. I was actually looking for a 6" Santoku but a quality one seems to be hard to find. I am thinking this 7" length will suffice.

I bought these for my husband and he loves them!! They fit nice in his hand and are very sharp. They were recommend to me by a friend, male, that already had the knifes and like them so much he gave them as a gift at a yankee swap.
