A credible effort for a Shun knock-off.
The Zhen Damascus 8" Chef's knife is lovely item to behold. Forged layered damascus patterned VG-10 and high carbon steel look like wood grain. Attractive reddish wood handle with a nice hefty heel piece. The knife is thin, but very strong and well balanced. The VG-10 steel provides excellent hardness and takes a good edge. The style and materials are clearly in the mold of Shun classic knives, but these are made in Taiwan. My only beef is the level of grinding in the handle. The bolster and heel piece extend a bit above the wooden handle. In my opinion the handle should be flush or slightly raised above the metal of the surrounding pieces. Ultimately this is a quibble - but that's the difference. That being said the handle is a comfortable shape to hold. Overall, this knife is an excellent value for the price and a lovely and functional kitchen essential.
it's ok
the knife looks good feels light in hand but was not sharp out of the box have finally got an edge on it that will cut.
sexy knife
extremely sharp and stays razor sharp and the look of the knife is quite classy so its a good purchase
