I am an avid EDC knife guy and that somehow also made me very keen on getting real good knife sets for the home. I have high end steak knifes as well as well-known German full tang knife sets in one home and another modern Japanese full tang knives in my 2nd home. When I am in the kitchen prepping, my go to knife has always been the Nakiri. My wife prefers the short Chef knife. I shopped around and wanted to replace an older Nakiri knife with something that looks stunning and has better ergonomics. The Damascus pattern is pretty and the knife is super sharp out of the box. It is a full tang knife which is a must for serious knife use for longevity and strength. The knife is balanced well. I really admire the G10 handle with the fancy rivet and butt decor. The knife just looks nice and I fell confident everytime using it. The scalloped grooves is a nice touch. I originally wanted a 6 inch knife and ready to pay hundreds more but this 7 inch blade just feels right. The overall weight is not heavy at all but at the same time, the weight does help in cutting down onto the board and giving you less exertion of force required. This Shan Zu is a durable and beautiful cutting tool. Lots of special touches makes it stand out. The heel is safe from cutting accidentally and the bolster offers superior grip. Always hand wash and immediately dry off to keep the knife stay pristine. Recommended!

I've bought these knives one at a time as I liked them and wanted more, and also brought one for a friend. All knives except one arrived very sharp, the one which was a little dull only needed a few strokes on the honing rod. Ive used especially the nakiri daily for the past few weeks and it keeps the sharpness very well. They are all the pro damascus series except with the big cleaver I got the classic series. It feels robust and is sharp, though the rivets on the handle (on the classic) isn't perfectly flush, but it's not a bother. I just feel an edge there if I look for it, which I don't feel on the damaskus ones. The wood print on the glass fibre handle is somewhat pixelated - probably a design choice but I'm not a fan of that. Anyways, it's good knives both to use and to look at.

Tutto perfetto. Coltello bellissimo, di ottima qualità ed in confezione originale. Spedizione come promessa.
