SHAN ZU Chef Knife 8 Inch Japanese Steel Damascus Kitchen Knife, Professional Kitchen Knives Sharp High Carbon Super Steel Kitchen Utility Knife

Worth the price. Looks amazing and really sharp

Hab es jetzt eine weile in Benutzung. Gute Verarbeitung, der Griff ist sehr hochwertig und liegt super in der hand. Der stahl leicht zu schärfen. Balance ist sehr gut. Das Damaskus ist geschmiedet und nicht gelasert. Die primärphase kommt super dünn und sauber ausgeschliffen. Ich sammel messer und habe auch messer aus dem Fachhandel die diesem in nichts nachstehen. Viel messer für wenig Geld. Ich werde nochmal eins als geschenk kaufen.

Great knife! I've been a cook for over thirty years and always had a knife service so never felt the need to buy my own, until recent change in work I wanted to get my own as nobody seems to take care of a knife edge where I'm working now. Well the price was very reasonable, the weight feels nice , the handle is very comfortable (my hands are average size), looks and feels great. Cuts very well I have used it in a professional setting for two weeks and still is holding its edge. Will purchase from this seller again. If you are on the fence about buying this knife I suggest looking at some from a restaurant supply company, they are ridiculously expensive and likely the same quality, would highly recommend this company.

Very good knife, highly recommended. I was very surprised by the quality. It cuts very well from the first use and feels well balanced in the hand. It is comfortable, does not tire while working with it, and gives you a great sense of control when cutting. After months of use, it's still as sharp as the first day. I also like the design. Very fashionable. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Cuts Like butter. I've been cooking Indian curry all my life. But since last week, I've been cutting my onions and tomatoes with this knife. For the first time in my life, it was a truly enjoyable experience. I mean, my roommate almost had an o*g**sm cutting tomatoes lol. That's how smooth it cuts. I really cannot contain my excitement for this knife, and its a really great purchase if you're a hobby chef (can't speak for the professionals, might have to ask them yourself) Did I mention how buttery my curry turned out to be? The knife allowed me to cut the onions so thin, that it broke down to a buttery smooth consistently (caramelized) in a half the time. Not only so, it tasted like it was made at an actual fine diner. If you're looking to up your game in the kitchen, do get this! Also, check out some tutorials on YouTube on how to wield the knife, care for it etc. etc. Gonna change your cooking experience forever! I promise.

I’ve been using the SHAN ZU 8-inch Chef Knife for a few weeks now, and it has quickly become the knife I reach for the most in my kitchen. The first thing I noticed was how balanced it feels in the hand. It’s not too heavy, not too light, and it has that solid, confident feel you want from a good chef knife. The blade itself is extremely sharp right out of the box. It cuts through vegetables, chicken, herbs, and even tougher ingredients with almost no effort. The Damascus pattern looks beautiful in person, and the finish makes it feel like a higher-end knife than what I paid for. What stood out to me is how cleanly it slices without crushing food. Things like tomatoes and onions come out with smooth, clean cuts, which makes prep faster and much more enjoyable. I’ve used it for everything from chopping vegetables to breaking down larger cuts of meat, and it hasn’t dulled noticeably yet. The handle is comfortable even during longer prep sessions, and I never feel like it’s slipping or awkward to hold. It also cleans up easily, and I’ve had no issues with staining or rusting. Overall, this knife performs way above its price point. It feels premium, looks great, and handles pretty much every task I throw at it. If you’re looking for a reliable, sharp, and well-balanced chef knife without spending a fortune, this one is absolutely worth picking up.
