SHAN ZU Damascus Chef Knife 8 inch, Japanese Kitchen Knives 67-Layer High Carbon Steel, Ultra Sharp Chef Knife, Professional Kitchen Utility Cooking Knife with G10 Ergonomic Handle

Makes such a difference having a good quality knife, feels good in the hand, which is a big plus having good control, nice balance, presentation box is lovely, shame it dosent stay in it all the time.

Great knife and well balanced. Great investment for any chefs roll.

Such a lovely knife. Well made, great design, beautiful cutting... But it's a real shame this doesn't come with a case to store it in-I have a similar chef knife and that came with a case so I can store it in a drawer. Since this comes with nothing, you need to already have a case or have a knife block to accommodate this-Besides that, this knife is fantastic. It has a nice thick handle which makes it nice to hold when you're holding the top of the knife. It arrives nice and sharp so ready to use. You're more likely to cut yourself with a blunt knife than a sharp one due to the amount of force you have to use. This obviously glides though the cuts. Everyone who sees it also compliments it on its cool design pattern-Current price is £100. Good knives aren't cheap but certainly worth the investment for any chef or keen cook

Superb quality, fantastic packaging and nicely presented. Incredible quality knife.

This is an excellent knife for fruit or for pots and veg. Keeps its edge well and I have only sharpened it once on the stone (I don't use a steel) and honed it several times on the strop. I would recommend its all round use and good design to anybody. It looks pretty too as one of my chefs pointed out, not exactly one of my criteria but I suppose another reason to buy if you are that way inclined. Well balanced for a male hand to peel and turn but one of the girls found it fitted her grip perfectly too. So go on spoil yourself and PS it seems sturdy enough to last a long long time and not crack, chip or break on an unfortunate drop. I never put knives through the plate wash.

This SHAN ZU 8inch Damascus chef knife is beautifully presented in its own protective box, with the blade protected by a thin plastic sheath and tip cover. I don’t think that plastic is capable of guarding a sharp blade though, so I will be looking to find a more suitable cover. I would suggest it remains in its sturdy box until it is needed! Having used the knife now for a couple of weeks it remains super sharp and I’ve certainly put it through its paces. The handle is comfortable to grasp and as it isn’t too heavy I can use it for quite some time without it becoming awkward to hold. Very pleased with this beautiful knife as it makes me feel like a ‘proper’ chef!

Great feeling in the hand, nice and chunky handle that is appreciated with a smaller blade. Does feel a tad light though (think due to not being full tang) so would slightly question durability if your giving it really heavy use. Looks the part and good steel.

Ich habe schon das große Messer und dem steht das Kleine in nichts nach. Super scharf und immer ein Hingucker.

Unfortunately very low quality steel. Returning this and the large chef knife that is chipping.

Per la scelta mi sono affidata alle altre recensioni e non ho sbagliato.Ne ho presi 2 di dimensioni diverse e non hanno deluso.Arrivati già affilati per questo vi consiglio attenzioneTaglia che è una meraviglia 😂

Coltello di qualità , giusto rapporto qualità prezzo! Design pazzesco lama precisa ed affilatissima!!! Lo uso per lavoro.

Très bon couteau, bien équilibrée, avec un bon tranchant qui ne s'émousse pas rapidement. un simple passage au fusil en fonction de la fréquence d'utilisation suffit généralement a lui rendre sa superbe ce qui est tout a fait normal quelque soit le couteau. je ne peut pas affirmer qu'il s'agisse ou non d'un vrai acier damas, n'étant pas un spécialiste, mais en tout cas le couteau est esthétiquement superbe et remplie sa fonction première : il coupe super bien.Pour répondre aux différentes critiques de manières constructives :Il n'est pas mentionné dans l'annonce que le couteau est japonais, ont parle juste d'acier et de style japonais il est clairement noté que le couteau est chinois, il faut juste savoir lire !!De même ,les personnes qui se plaignent de la fragilité de la lame soit en coupant des os ou le rangeant dans un tiroir. il s'agit d'un acier très dur donc cassant. Il ne faut quand même pas abuser ce sont des couteaux destiné à émincer les légumes et trancher la viande pas a désosser et il doivent être stocker individuellement, sinon il ne faut pas ce plaindre qu'il n'y ait plus de tranchant!!C'est comme percer du béton avec un foret a bois et ce plaindre après qu'il est abimé, peut-être qu'avant de critiquer l'outil, il faudrait peut-être avoir un regard juste sur la façon dont on l'utilise !!Je précise que je n'ai aucune relation avec la marque, juste un gros raz le bol des commentaires sensés vous être utiles remplis de conneries.
