SHAN ZU Damascus Paring Knife 3.74 Inch, Japanese Paring Knives Copper & Damascus Steel High Carbon 33 Layer Hand Forged, Ultra Sharp Fruit Knife Carving Knives with Maple Wood Handle

The knife comes razor sharp. I mean it when I say that it's sharp enough to shave with. My test is always to check if a knife can cut arm hair. It did it without issue. It slides right through tomatoes without squishing them. This knife is very comfortable in the hand even with my larger hands. I've used this knife to cut just about every ingredient in my kitchen. To top it all off it's a work of art the Damascus pattern and the stabilized wood handle is beautiful.

Wanted a new knife for slicing and chopping. Had my old knives for over 25 years and were very dull and chipped. Threw them out. I wanted one or two general knives that were sharp and easy to work with. Read many reviews on knives either Carbon or Stainless Steel. This is Stainless Steel. I think it is personal preference if you are a professional chef or an everyday person cooking and chopping meals for your life style and families such as myself. Just wanted a good chopping and cutting knife. I am very happy with this knife. It came packaged very well. Nice box. Had knife guard on tip and a thin plastic cover over blade..This was just a protection cover for packaging in box, not a real sleeve for the blade. I have used this knife several times and it is very sharp and cuts fantastic. Chopped a large potato and it sliced it with no effort. Diced celery, onions, tomatoes, carrots and other vegetables, and works beautiful. Chopped frozen chicken breasts and with no problem. I like the 7" length, seems easy to use and handle. Not too long and not too short. I make sure I wash and dry it after every use and will look for a good way to store my knife in a drawer or magnetic block on wall..Not sure how long it will last but so far I am very happy with purchase. The price was $27.99 - 7" Santoko knife.

Purchased as a birthday gift. It was loved and appreciated. The material, comfort, sharpness and overall appearance were all very unique and the design was great. It was a an excellent value for the 3 knives.

This is the perfect knife for working in the kitchen. It holds an edge perfectly and the grip is ultra comfortable

I’ve only used it once so far to chop up some veggies but amazingly sharp. The knife is beautiful. The handle and blade look amazing. The only thing is that after making this purchase I went to the website and I see that I sold have saved about $120 if I was to have bought the set which was posted on their website but not on Amazon. I’m am still definitely pleased with this purchase

Just great. Super sharp, good balance, nice looking.

This knife set is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever purchased. I am a blacksmith and Bladesmith and I’ve been making custom knives for eight or nine years. Just wanna mention that the quality fit and finish of these knives is second to none I would recommend them to anyone who wants to really impress Their guest just by the way these nights look let alone how well they perform cut, and feel absolutely perfect in your hand

Very sharp

Das SHAN ZU Damastmesser aus Kupfer aus der VENUS Series ist für mich weit mehr als nur ein Küchenmesser – es ist ein echtes Kunstwerk! Schon beim Auspacken merkt man die hochwertige Verarbeitung: Die 33 Schichten Damaststahl und die feine Kupferstruktur verleihen dem Messer nicht nur eine edle Optik, sondern auch eine beeindruckende Stabilität und Langlebigkeit. In der Hand liegt es perfekt ausbalanciert, weder zu schwer noch zu leicht, und der ergonomische Griff sorgt für einen sicheren Halt, auch bei längeren Schneidearbeiten. Die Schärfe ist atemberaubend – selbst feinste Tomatenscheiben oder Kräuter gleiten ohne Widerstand durchs Messer. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die handgeschmiedete Qualität, die man bei jedem Schnitt spürt. Dieses Messer macht einfach Freude – egal ob beim Kochen, Zubereiten oder Anrichten. 🍣 Fazit: Ein edles, extrem scharfes und hochwertiges Küchenmesser, das sowohl optisch als auch funktional auf ganzer Linie überzeugt. Ideal für passionierte Hobbyköche und Profis gleichermaßen. Klare 5 Sterne – ein echtes Highlight in jeder Küche!

Très bon et beau couteau. Manche parfait.

Precioso y afilado cuchillo, la pena es que solo tienen 4 modelos sin tacoma. Pero son impresionantes, afilados y muy bonitos.

erg goed , fijne en scherpe messen, liggen heel fijn in de hand

Nice knife overall. Bought it because of the steel used but it is problematic that they don't mark the type of steel on the blade like some of their other knives - why ? Will keep it, but MAC japanese knives are the bomb.
