Review: Exceptionally sharp, beautifully presented and built to perform - The SHAN ZU 16-piece knife set is an outstanding addition to any kitchen - comprehensive, well-balanced and designed with real attention to both performance and presentation. It offers a wide variety of blades, ensuring that the right knife is always on hand for any task, from everyday food preparation to more intricate work. Each knife feels well balanced in the hand, with just the right amount of weight for comfortable, controlled cutting. The high-carbon stainless steel blades are impressively sharp straight out of the box, making quick work of everything from vegetables to tougher cuts of meat. They maintain their edge well with regular care, and the included sharpener makes occasional maintenance simple. Cleaning is straightforward - they rinse easily and dry quickly. On one occasion, I accidentally ran them through the dishwasher after forgetting to properly secure the salt compartment, and a small amount of surface rust appeared. That experience reinforced the importance of handwashing, but it’s worth noting that the issue was entirely down to user error rather than any fault in the knives themselves. Visually, the set looks excellent. The sleek, modern design complements both traditional and contemporary kitchens, and the block provides an elegant storage solution that keeps everything neatly organised and within easy reach. Overall, this is a first-rate knife set that combines sharpness, balance and aesthetic appeal in equal measure. It’s ideal for both keen home cooks and those who simply appreciate high-quality, reliable tools in their kitchen.
Review: Great knife for the price! - For the price, this is an outstanding knife, possibly the best value for money I’ve ever owned. I’ve been using it for over two years and it’s become my go-to for almost everything, replacing several of my other knives. The shape is what makes it so versatile, just last night I boned a lamb leg, finely sliced onions for pickling, and crushed and chopped garlic, all with this one knife. It holds an edge well too; I sharpened it once when I first bought it, and only once more since. A quick touch with the steel before each use keeps it performing beautifully. If I had one criticism, it’s that the blade is a little thicker than I’d like. That’s the only reason I’d consider upgrading. That said, it’s hard to find another knife with this shape and this level of quality for the money, or a lot more!
