HOSHANHO 8-Piece Kitchen Knife Set, Japanese High Carbon Super Steel Knife Sets with Block, Professional Ultra Sharp Chef Knife Set with Scissors

Very nice set, slick smooth handle, very sharp, durable heavy handle with light blade tip

Awesome knife set! Got this on a lighting deal and so happy I did. Blades are amazing quality and are some of the best I’ve owned. I love the aesthetics of the set and the storage block as well. I’ve already been asked by family where I got them and I’ve recommended them to many others as well.

Super sharp, well balanced. Amazing value for money. We've been using these constantly for months and they are just really superb.

Wonderful set. Nice to have sharp knives in the kitchen. We have a family member in the house that thinks sharp knives are dangerous. Now that we have caregivers working in the house doing meal prep they have another opinion. They are thanking me for having safer knives that actually cut with ease. This set is well crafted and easy to keep clean. Nice block for storing them in.

This is a great set of Knives for the money. I professionally restore and sharpen knives. This review may seem long winded but for those who want to know more than the fact that they are "razor sharp" since any brand new knife you buy should be very sharp, I'd like to share exactly why I think they are great knives for the money. What makes a good knife is the steel. The steel used in these is 10Cr15CoMoV, which is the Chinese version of the Japanese Steel VG-10 . If Ranking on a 10 scale, 10 being the best: VG-10 and 10Cr15CoMoV rank a 7-8. Its components make for great corrosion resistance, good edge retention, easy to sharpen and maintain. Heat treatment is the other big factor to consider when purchasing a knife, this is measure by what's called the Rockwell Hardness Scale. These knives state that the've been heat treated to a Hardness of 58+ which is the sweet spot for kitchen knives. All reasons why I bought them. Just an FYI - Premium Steels would be M390, MagnaCut and S30V - S90V to name a few.Knives made from premium steels are very expensive ranging from $300 -$500+ for a single knife. Furthermore, Damascus Steel is not a TYPE of steel. Damascus is a STEEL MAKING PROCESS where layers of steel are forged together creating unique design patterns. A knife that says it's made with Damascus Steel does not necessarily make it a good or bad steel.

The knives are great quality and very sharp and stay sharp. I haven't seen any rust spots although I clean and dry them as soon as they're used. The handle is very nice and comfortable and is catered toward the pinch technique which I really like. For the price they're great. The block is very soft wood and cracked shortly after on one of the knife holders but is still functional. Overall I really like this knife set. Also great pair of shears. They're not good for thin stuff but they're great for cutting thicker pieces of meat and they're very strong.

I just bought it and it appears with quality.

Our Henckel’s knives need a constant sharpening each use and it has rusty stains.I was skeptical before buying this set of Japanese knives.Turns out, it has beautiful design; stable and comfortable handles; great weight; thick and strong blades.The color of the block matches my kitchen cabinets.
