SHAN ZU Knife Set 16 pcs, Japanese Kitchen Knife with Block High Carbon Stainless Steel Ultra Sharp Knife for Kitchen, Professional Chef Knife Set with Sharpener

The block is a gorgeous shade of warm brown sitting on the counter. The knife handles have a fun, subtle, intricate pattern, and the weight of the knives is pretty light. Love the look and quality.

I was introduced to this knife set from daughter in law; very nice

Good variety of knives, very good quality. They are definitely sharp.

Outstanding purchase knives work as required

I used to think only the brand names were good. My wife loves these knives. Good value and she loves the comfortability of it

Sharp. Only thing I dont like is my wife says they are hand wash only. Id rather use a butter knife that way it can go in the washer.

Very happy with purchase knifes are sharp

Just got this set hours ago. Inspected thoroughly. Knives look high quality and all feel comfortable, Very sharp, and look good. Was also impressed by the spring loaded scissors comfort and design, until cycling them 20 or 30 times. See photos, now when you close them they have to be pryed apart. Inside corners/edges scraping against each other carved grooves on the inside of the blades. I have contacted the seller and am willing to keep the set, but would need a replacement set of scissors that work. The scissors actually worked great the first few cycles. I would suggest a small and thin stainless steel washer to separate the blades. Not cutting crepe paper with these so the tolerance between the blades can be slightly increased.Update 1/14. Used a fine emory board to remove the burrs and placed a couple drops of cooking oil in the pivot and worked them. Aside from the scratches, they now work perfectly. Have cycled them at least 200 times. I think maybe just made a little too tight. For the money, I think this is a great buy
