SHAN ZU Chef Knife in Powder Steel, Japanese Kitchen Knife 8 Inch, Ultra Sharp Chef's Knives, High Carbon Japanese Knives with Ergonomic Pakkawood Handle Professional Utility Knives for Meat Vegetable

The media could not be loaded. The knives come in an excellent package and they look professionally made with great attention to detail. But to beyond looks, these knives are razor sharp. The edge lasts with minimal effort and care.As for care, the handles are made with real wood so you don't want to leave them in water. You want to just wash them and get them out. You can reseal the handles but they are fantastic knives and the little bit of extra care is well worth it.They fit the hand well and they cut like A hot knife through butter. Effortless. And with a little regular honing they stay sharp. I am absolutely in love with this brand of knives and at this price I don't think they can be beat. They are a great value for the money and the weight and feel in the hand is excellent.I would not put them in a dishwasher. I only hand wash and immediately dry. I do not let them sit in water. Like anything if value a little care will go a long way in preserving them.

Very sharp. Very nice quality. Be careful the ate the sharpest knife’s I have ever come across

I have been on a knife buying spree for the last month, upgrading everything I have and then some. This includes 12 of the knives you see advertised on Amazon, mostly in the Damascus/VG10 class. This knife is among the cheapest of those I purchased (it has been on sale for $23.99 USD) and it is hands down THE BEST. Seriously… grab it while you can. I don’t understand why a powder steel knife is being offered at such a low price but 63 Rockwell hardness is a cut above VG10. The laser etching is curious. It is like a high-end race car trying to look like a Volkswagen. Powder steel is superior, so why try to look like etched Damascus? But don’t let its proletariat appearance fool you. This powder steel lightsaber is approaching the zenith of chef knife capability. It has out performed all of my other recent purchases and I have more in the mail while it is still on this insane sale of $24. Similar powder steel chef knives manufactured locally in the Wyoming area are going for $400.

Beautiful blade

This is a great knife. It cut things like a butter. Finally not to put more pressure on cutting veggies.Hope this sharpness lost for longer than the ordinary knives.
