Kitchen Knife, Professional Santoku Chef Knives Ultra Sharp Knife with 18 cm German Stainless Steel Blade, Utility Knives with Ergonomic Handle for Cutting Fruit, Vegetables, Meat

I had been looking at some new knives for a while as my husband and dad are both chefs knives are important in our family I was originally going to get the Damascus steel set but as I am only a home cook I didn’t want to spend a lot of money I just wanted something easy to use and sharp I really wasn’t sure at my choice until I used them they are really good knives I was very pleased with them even my husband was impressed with them they look great have nice weight love the block and honing rod and my husband likes the fact that the set came with some lovely steak knives so overall I would recommend them I love them and if you are looking at them thinking do I really want to spend this much on kitchen knives the answer is yes with knives you get what you pay for and these knives definitely deserve the 5 stars and are worth the extra money and if you can get a discount even better

Super quality. Super sharp. Light to use and comfortable in the hand. This should last your lifetime easy. Great kitchen investment 👌

This is well made, very sharp, strong and robust kitchen knife. I use all the time. Much superior to others I’ve had. Blade is thick, size and length what you expect and stays sharp for a long time. Looks great too and lovely to use.

First and foremost, this is a beautiful knife set and is very sharp out of the box, however I had one steak knife that was slightly warped in the blade. This was resolved quickly by Amazon with a knife replacement.Now I almost didn't purchase this set because of some lack of information and some that was inaccurate. The knife handles are not plastic but are made of Pakkawood. The blades have a hardness of HRC 58~60. Also anyone who is thinking of buying this set should really look at Shan Zu's website on the items specifications because it has so much more information on there than here.And yes, it is German Stainless Steel.MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCEEach knife has some weight to it which is lovely, the blade itself is strong and sharp. It truly is a beautiful set. I will update of course if I notice any sign of rust or other imperfections.SHAN ZU: You would sell ample more knife sets if all the information about the set is exactly like the website because I for one won't touch plastic handles which if I breadths listing at face value I would not have touched it but I noticed the picture of the handle on here not looking plastic and I did some research on the product.Thanks guys!

The handle feels a bit thick (to me) but the blade is thin and light. The steel is pretty good and holds an edge reasonably well.A bit of work with a stone and this knife can be razor sharp.For the price it's a must have utensil.For your first santoku knife you absolutely cannot go wrong.For £25 odd it's insanely good value so it gets 5 stars.

After years of using what I thought were pretty reasonable knives, it got the point when I was trying to cut through some bread and I said to myself 'surely this shouldn't need sawing'.Settled on this knife and, Oh Lord, the difference!! I was, and have been, very careful when using it. Cutting through crusty rolls, slicing onions etc just because I'm so impressed with it's sharpness. Minor cut on the finger and thumb, even with caution, so be very careful. Makes cooking so much easier and quicker!

Easy to use. Good grip and balances well. Cuts through tough root vegetables with ease. Good value for money .Highly recommended.

Very sharp,Excellent quality, very well made 8inch knife comes in a lovely box highly recommend this item
