SHAN ZU7 Inch Chef Knife, Sharp Meat Cleaver Knife Vegetable Chopper Professional Japanese High Carbon Stainless Steel Kitchen Chopping Knife with K133 Wood Handle, Black Tortoise Genbu Series

This knife is razor sharp right out of the box and feels like a true high-end Japanese blade. It slices through everything—meat, fruit, vegetables—super smooth with no effort. The handle is comfortable and well-balanced, and the overall quality feels premium. I’ve used more expensive knives before, and this honestly holds its own. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a top-quality chef knife

My favorite fileting and boning knife! Besides it being a beautiful knife it is well balanced with a nice narrow and flexible blade which works great getting under skin or silverskin and the flexible allows the blade to track well when boning or skinning!

Honestly, they’re not made in china, the steel is top quality, the Japanese symbol for Genbu is really cool. They’re not just good knives, they are Japanese steel knives with a token of gratitude towards the Japanese culture and one of their 4 spirits that protect them.

Quality knife, it is sharp like a razor blade.

High quality and super sharp knives. The scissors and the sharpener need to be on the top corner. They get in the way when I’m pulling my most frequently used knifes. Also not a big fan of the detachable steak knife holder. I have never used it. Also, it’s good to store your knives blade up so they don’t dull or shred up the knife holder.

Very Sharp

Love this knife set. When they get a bit dull, just 4 swipes and they are razor sharp.

These are sharp I can see knocking the edge off them quickly. As they are new, they would likely slice you well and you wouldn't feel it like a dull knife. My only complaint is a miner one, they are very light and thin blades. That said, while sharp, they go through everything with ease so keep fingers clear. lolI have matching cutting board, salt an pepper grinders, and a salt tub with twist lid.
