Features

  • Japanese Steel Knife Core, Super SharpSHAN ZU chef's knife core is made of Damascus Japanese steel AUS-10 that has high hardness(62HRC), anti-corrosion, and wear-resistant features; combined with advanced modern forging technique, you will get a super sharp kitchen knife.
  • REAL Damascus Knife, not Lazer EtchedDamascus knife is famous for its beautiful pattern, SHAN ZU Damascus pattern technique involves layering sheets of carbon steel, and applying excessive heat treatments with repeated folding and forging until the blade pattern is formed. The pattern gets more visible after polishing. In modern-day, there is a fake Damascus knife that has merely been laser-etched (surface treated) to produce a pattern, it is fake Damascus since the pattern can be worn away.
  • Forged by 67-Layer sheets of steel, Long-Lasting UseBesides on the knife core, there are still 66 layers of carbon steel that are forged on the blade. A total of 67 layers of steel structure greatly enhances the characteristics of corrosion resistance, rust prevention, and toughness, it would be a long-lasting use utility knife.
  • Glass Fiber G10 Handle, Comfortable Grip & Solid Adopts frosted glass fiber G10 handle which is much more comfortable and solider than the wood handle, it becomes an ergonomically designed top-balanced professional knife to provide high-performance cutting for meat, vegetable, and fish.
  • Knife Details & Warranty This chef knife blade is 8 long, and 2.2mm thick, the handle is 5.3 long, cutting angle is 15 degrees. The knife is 270g heavy. SHAN ZU provides a 12-month warranty on all knife products, please feel free to contact us if you meet any problem

  • Sharp, pretty, and comfortable
Style: Nakiri Knife
I have a few higher-quality knives, including Wusthof and some Japanese-made VG10 knives. I wanted to try a more budget-friendly knife with good steel to see what the real difference was. This knife was sharper out of the box than any knife I've bought. It could shave hair very easily. Of course the initial edge is only one factor--we'll see how the the retention is, and whether it rusts or otherwise fails--but that first impression matters, and it was good. The knife is heavy for its size, but not overly so. The handle is comfortable and meets the tang perfectly, so the quality control seems good. Overall it feels well made. If it really is AUS10 and real damaacus, I believe it'll perform very well. I only received this knife today, so I may need to update this review as time goes on. Initial impression is that it's a good knife for a good price. ... show more

  • Everything they said it is and more
Style: Nakiri Knife
I do A LOT of fruits and vegetables per week. Just carrots alone, I prep 8 to 10 lbs. where we have a dog with extensive food allergies and I have to do food for her. Then on top of that there's all the prep for the rest of us in the house. I was getting fatigued using a Chef's knife and having problems with vegetables splitting into irregular cuts (no matter how sharp my Chef's knife was). After researching Nakiri knives I decided to invest in one. So incredibly grateful I did. This knife cuts with little effort and slices through the thickest vegetables without any hesitation leaving behind a smooth, even cut. Night and day in terms of Nakiri vs. Chef's knife. Highly recommend it. The knife is well made, well balanced, with a comfortable handle that keeps its comfort no matter how long you're using it for. My new favorite knife! ... show more

  • Slice and dice
Style: Chef Knife A
Pleased how it feels in my hand, A balanced knife where I feel in control when cutting, slicing and dicing The blade is sharp and the overall appearance is nice however what counts is the performance and this knife checks all the boxes for. Very satisfied.

  • comfortable and super sharp
Style: Chef Knife A
The media could not be loaded. I did a quick review of knives. I'm at the age where I need to invest some money in kitchen knives. Our friend has Wusthof, which we enjoyed while staying at their vacation home. But they're terribly expensive. I think this will do until we get to that point where we can invest some money in the kitchen knives. I honestly don't believe this is Damascus's process for $50. And it's not the X50CRMOV15 that Wusthof is made out of. X50CRMOV15: 0.5% Carbon: For better hardness as well as the ability to keep wear or corrosion at bay 15% Chromium: For great tensile strength, reliable ability to retain an edge, and better power to resist wear as well as corrosion 1% Silicon: For boosted strength. 1% Manganese: For better hardness as well as brittleness 0.8% Molybdenum: For boosted strength as well as machinability (flexibility during manufacturing process) 0.20% Vanadium: For better hardenability as well as resistance to wear 0.015% Sulfur: For better flexibility during the manufacturing process 0.04% Phosphorus: For boosted strength Listen. I'm not running for the Iron Chef here. The AUS-10: X50CrMoV15 vs. AUS10 AUS10 wins over the former in terms of edge retention ability. However, X50CrMoV15 is tougher and easier to sharpen The only thing I have to remind myself is not to drop this knife or try to cut bones, because AUS-10 will chip the knife edge. Other than that, this knife has an ergonomic design (graduation in knife handle to the blade), and it's full tang with a big-ole bolt in the middle out of three bolts to hold it onto its G-10 handle, which is very ideal. Most of my pocket knives have G-10 handles. Yes, of course, I want the CTS XHP Steel kitchen knife with a G-10 handle, but let's be real. My tiny pocket knife cost $110, I can't imagine a kitchen knife costing anything affordable for the average joe. This is a good purchase. Buy it. Edit: I bought one more. The price is too good for this knife. I love using it. ... show more

  • Great knifes

The three knives were great and exceeded my expectations. Very sharp, heavy, well-constructed knives. Would recommend to all.

  • Very nice gift.
Style: Santoku Knife
Bought as a gift, looks and feels very nice. Very sharp out of the package, feels well balanced and cuts beautifully. I can't speak to the longevity, ease of sharpening or quality of the steel as I have only used it once when new. I first purchased a cheaper version from a different manufacturer that was on sale on Amazon. That one was absolute trash. This on the other hand appears to be a nice product. ... show more

  • Beautiful, but unsure of blade quality
Style: Chef Knife A
I’ve owned the knife for one week. I absolutely love the weight, feel and balance. Its initial sharpness is as expected. I have used in our commercial setting several times and sharpened on a steel at least three times. The edge of the blade is showing slight jaggedness, which might be somewhat normal for Damascus steel. But if that continues, the long term result will be a less smooth blade. It seems like there are a lot of knives that advertise “Damascus Steel” but may not actually use that method. ... show more
