Review: A symphony in every slice - Cooking often means work, but this SHAN ZU knife makes it feel like play. It glides with precision, cuts with swagger, and transforms the dullest prep into something worth watching. The weight is just right, and the blade is impossibly sharp. It’s a performance every time it meets a cutting board. The knife doesn’t cut. It whispers through ingredients. Carrots dissolve into orange confetti, herbs collapse into fragrant dust, and meat obeys like a samurai bowing to its master. Every slice is choreography. Every chop is a drumbeat. Suddenly, you’re no longer cooking, you’re composing symphonies in garlic and thyme. It feels less like a tool and more like a promise in your hand. A promise that your dinner will be beautiful. Once you get your hands on a SHAN ZU blade, I guarantee you’ll find yourself looking for excuses to chop just to feel it in action. It’s the kind of knife that guests ask where you got it, and the kind that makes you secretly smile when you pull it from the block. Yep, this is a darn good knife.
Review: Knife is too good for the price! - Ok I am an amateur chef when it comes to working in the kitchen, I have some very expensive knives ranging from £100 to £200 per knife. While this one may not top those they certainly come very close in terms of quality, balance and overall use. The area for finger grip placement and control is correct for proper cutting (see photos) and the rest of the handle fits perfectly in the remainder of the hand. The blade came sharp and instantly cut through a fresh tomato with no issue. My only complaint so far is that the blade seems to scratch and I have no idea how long it will hold up to daily use and cleanings.
