SHAN ZU Cleaver Knife 7 Inch Japanese Professional Kitchen Chopper

Had mine for over two years and it is my go to knife for more or less everything. It holds and edge super well, sharpens easily and doesn't chip or roll too easily when chopping, even through bone. Handle is comfy and has held up to the abuses of being washed in the dishwasher once or twice a day for 20+ months. Good quality material for blade and handle. Size is very comfortable for myself and my partner, the wide cheek of the blade means safe chopping as you can finger guide safely without risking your nails or your knuckles and making it a dream to use. The bolster of the knife is smooth and allows for good finger positioning. It's absolute steal of a price for what it is and the quality you get. Only came back to review as I'm considering buying more or their blades as I end up using this knife for things that a full length chefs knife would be more appropriate for. I recommend this specific knife for anyone who even mentions kitchen knives around me. Superb.

A good kitchen knife a cross between a knife and cleaver a bit more weight so helps if you have to break a bone in meat. very balanced and easy to use and keeps its edge with a little use on a sharpening iron I highly recommend this product.

For the price, this is an outstanding knife, possibly the best value for money I’ve ever owned. I’ve been using it for over two years and it’s become my go-to for almost everything, replacing several of my other knives. The shape is what makes it so versatile, just last night I boned a lamb leg, finely sliced onions for pickling, and crushed and chopped garlic, all with this one knife. It holds an edge well too; I sharpened it once when I first bought it, and only once more since. A quick touch with the steel before each use keeps it performing beautifully. If I had one criticism, it’s that the blade is a little thicker than I’d like. That’s the only reason I’d consider upgrading. That said, it’s hard to find another knife with this shape and this level of quality for the money, or a lot more!

Amazing. Wish I'd got one years ago and blimey, is it sharp. Makes a huge difference

I liked this item and consider it value for money.

Excellent product! Service & delivery were perfect!

I wanted to try a cleaver because I'm getting old and suffer with pain in me fingers. As a style of knife I was actually quite surprised at its versatility and comfort. Normally I will buy 'better quality steel' and chose this option in case I didn't get on with it. It holds an edge well enough, no complaints there, but it IS indicative of it's price point. Its balanced quite nicely.

Great for vegetable chopping. Will not handle bones - damages edge.

Great knife with perfect balance. Cuts to any kind of food easily.

Mir gefällt dieses Messer und bin zufrieden damit. Es liegt gut in der Hand. Es ist super scharf and kann gut Knochen hacken. Ich kann es weiterempfehlen. Daumen hoch!

Un couteau de cuisine qui devient vite indispensable. Relativement léger pour une taille parfaitement adaptée, la lame arrondie facilite la découpe. Après une utilisation pendant 3 ans de manière régulière, ce couteau n'a jamais eu besoin d'être aiguisé et coupe encore comme au premier jour. Une qualité irréprochable pour un prix justifié. Je recommande ce produit.

Buon prodotto tagliente... attenzione alle dita le prime volte che lo si usa

Very nice knife. I use this alot.
