SHAN ZU Damascus Kitchen Knife Set, 7 Pcs Professional Knife Sets for Chefs

I love these knives! I only wish I bought them years ago! They are very sharp. I bought the chef knife 6 months ago just to test it out before buying the set. It is still as sharp as ever! They feel comfortable to use and I love the designs on the blades. Love these knives!

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!

Extremely nice quality and sharp. The knives have good weight and balance to them. Well worth the money

Estan tan afilados que lo probe de primera mano(literalmente el corte es muy limpio no me dolio mucho🥲)

Beautiful and sharp! They feel amazing in hand and very well made. Cole with Customer Service is the best at answering any questions or concerns you may have.

Made with Damascus Japanese steel (67 Layers Steel). Razor sharp blades. Frosted glass fiber G10 handles. Solid wood storage block. The quality and beauty are unmatched. I fully expect these will last a lifetime.

If you’re looking for authentic Damascus knives don’t buy these. They’re far from it, they are sharp but don’t stay sharp with normal usage. If you’re tired of getting scammed buy false advertising like me, stay away from this knife set.

High Quality -Razor Sharp

Die Messer waren in einem sehr gutem Zustand. Die Messer sind sehr scharf und liegen gut in der Hand. Die Messer behalten lange Ihre Qualität.DasSantoku Messer ist das beste Messer mit dem ich bisher geschnitten habe. Die Messer lassen sich gut reinigen und nachschärfen.

Prezzo elevato per un articolo molto elegante e di buonissima qualità. Solo il tempo confermerà la fattura, ma le lame sono sorprendenti. Più che consigliato!!

TLDR: They are sharp and well made and brilliant value for money. Key points MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION: They are actually made with Damascus steel (not laser etched) for those worried by the fakes. They are razor sharp out of the box and the hardened steel core shows no signs of dulling after my use so far. They are resistant to rust, but I would recommend washing immediately after use and never letting them sit in water if you want to keep them in their best shape. The Knives are well balanced, just behind where handle meets blade, making them perfect for a pinched grip. They are also a good weight to give confidence and ease of use. The knife block itself is solid wood, nice and heavy, and has an open bottom so you don’t get mould growing in there and can clean if need be. LOOKS: The damascus pattern is quite subtle but looks gorgeous in the light, I’ve attached a photo but it's very hard to do it justice. The arrangement in the block looks elegant and makes sense for use. Please DON’T use a scouring pad on the knives, it won’t impact performance at all but you don’t want to ruin the polished damascus finish with scratches. - THE SET: The only two knives you probably NEED is a chef’s knife and a utility knife, however, I have found the Santoku knife brilliant as well, especially for cutting vegetables and the fruit knife my wife loves as she doesn't like cutting with big blades. A bread knife of this quality is potentially overkill but it looks great with the set and functions even better. - PRICE: You can ask many people and get many answers on what is expensive for a set of Knives. Some would pay £20 for a set of knives and some would pay £2000 for just one. If you want a good set of knives, you will need to pay for them. These are a great set of knives, they perform well above their price bracket and will last you a lifetime if you look after them. -SHARPENING : I would recommend using a wetstone to sharpen, Shan Zu do a matching wetstone that gos with the knife block if you want to display them together, but any wetstone will work. I’m yet to run into a downside using these knives, the biggest take away for me is that they have made cooking fun! If you enjoy using your tools then you will use them more and hopefully you’ll find the joy in cooking like I have :)

Antes de comprar estos cuchillos me estuve informando muy a fondo. Los tipos de acero, la forma de la hoja, la virola, el nervio, cómo se afilan etc. Después de probar estos, creo que es absurdo gastarse miles de euros en cuchillos de Solingen tipo Zwilling o Wüsthof. Los chinos (nos guste o no) fabrican hace años de todo y en todo tipo de calidades. Llevo poco tiempo con estos cuchillos así que ya veré en cuanto a durabilidad, pero por lo pronto, por 200€ por un juego completo con su bloque en madera de acacia es una compra fenomenal. Usa tablas de cortar de madera de roble (nunca bambú) para que te dure el filo, y usa la chaira (que no afila, sino que deja recta la hoja) después de cada uso. He hecho la prueba de cortar un folio con todos los cuchillos y van como la mantequilla. Literalmente afeitan y puedes tirarles un tomate desde el aire para partirlo en dos. El único pero: hay que estar 100% concentrado y con buena técnica de corte si no quieres lonchearte un dedo. Además he comprobado (a base de dejarlos de un día para otros mojados o semi-sucios) que tanto el acero de damasco (capas exteriores) como el núcleo de AUS-10 son realmente inoxidables. No se quedan con ninguna mancha. Casi compré los Shan Zu GYO pero al final preferí los PRO porque estos tienen la espiga completa y por tanto son más duraderos y además están mejor equilibrados.

Couteaux très bien, bonne rigidité, bonne prise en main, équilibrés (ça dépend des gens, de la taille des mains et de la prise en main de chacun par rapport au couteau), et évidemment aiguisés comme jamais au sortir de la boîte. Lors des premières utilisations, en coupant une pomme de terre (et en la tenant mal), la lame est venue buter contre mon pouce, c’est rentré direct, donc niveau tranchant … on est au top ! Pour garder le tranchant, il faudra le faire avec une pierre à aiguiser, mais ne l’ayant pas fait, je ne peux pas dire. Les couteaux sont à laver et sécher dans la foulée. Mais j’ai recommandé ces couteaux à d’autres personnes, ma mère en a achetés, et elle en est elle-même très contente aussi. Concernant le service client, vraiment au top : après plusieurs mois, quasi un an, je les ai contactés pour un couteau qui commençait à présenter des points de rouille sur un côté de la lame. Ils ont écouté mes remarques, et après vérification de l’achat par mail, ils m’ont renvoyé un autre couteau (4-5 jours entre la prise de contact et la réception du couteau). Aucune lourdeur administrative, pas de problème de compréhension (même s’ils ont sûrement utilisé un outil de traduction), vraiment rien à redire, service client digne du service client Amazon (c’est pour dire). Ils m’ont aussi indiqué qu’ils renforceraient leurs process et vérifications afin que cela ne puisse se reproduire (évidemment, ce n’est probablement pas avec une retour que la perfection sera atteinte, mais la prise en compte du retour d’expérience est primordiale pour s’améliorer). Bref, je recommande !
