SHAN ZU Knife Block with Kitchen Knives, 16-Piece Knife Set Japanese Stainless Super Steel Cooking Knife Set with Removable Block & K133 Ergonomic Handle, Black Tortoise Genbu Series

Really solid knife set! All three knives are extremely sharp and feel well-balanced in hand. They handle everyday kitchen tasks with ease and look great too. Just note that they need regular honing, and the handles can be a bit slippery when wet. Still, excellent quality for the price!

I'm very happy with this purchase, I recently bought a rolling knife sharpener which makes sharpening knives really easy to do as the magnetic blocks holds the knife at the perfect angle with the choice of 20 or 15 degrees and then you grind both sides till its mirror sharp, but then though my knives were really sharp I wanted better knives - so I bought this set of 3 german steel knives, they have a good rockwell hardness rating (HRC) of 57 - japanese folded steel knives have the highest rating at 62 and keep their sharp edge for longer but these at 57 arent far off and the edge is advertised as 15 degrees so I know which angle to use when they do need sharpening which won't be for quite awhile, after using the chefs knife first time - when I cleaned the sharp edge it went straight through the washing up sponge as you can see by the picture - these are ultra sharp so be careful but look into getting a rolling knife sharpener too, there are cheaper ones out there and mine only cost £40, these knives are very well made and a joy to own making cooking much easier and slicing things like a swede a breeze (work smart not hard😉)

We bought a set of these knives and have been using them for nearly a year, The knife block looks great as do the knives. They are sharp and easy to re-sharpen with the supplied sharpener (not sure what it's called). A quality product. However, after around 6 to 9 months some of the knives started to rust in places. We contacted the supplier as we thought this was not in keeping with the quality of the knives and they we shocked that this had happened. Even though the knives were well outside of the Amazon return window the supplier has provided us with a set of replacement knives. In communication with the supplier it is clear that they care about their product and their customers. They are to be commended for their customer service.Would I deal with this company again. Most certainly yes.

Expensive but exceptional quality which is why you pay the price you do for these.Would have given a 5 star but my chefs knife has a chip on the blades edge and can't send back as I only noticed once fully unpacked.

This the top item given to our cook to complete her chef's kit. Her words say that the blade is amazingly sharp, easy to handle and very easy to use on all foods. She loves the knives she has and no one else (including me) is allowed to touch them at all. The steal is made of GENBU 55-57 HRC steal. Dont waste your money by paying for other cheap copies, buy nothing but the best.

Was looking for some steak knives that didn't have a sarated blade , as that seems to rip the steak . With these very sharp knives cuts through with ease, easy to use and the right size, good grip and very functional. Haven't put in dishwasher yet so cannot comment on that. But very sharp edge so please take care.

Excellent quality and very sharp easy to work with highly recommended

Super sharp bread knife. Excellent quality
