ZHEN Japanese VG-10 Damascus Cutlery Chef Knife, 8-Inch

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.

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.

Nice Damascus Knife! This is a kitchen knife that a Samurai would use. It is made of forged steel, which means the metal is compressured under extreme pressure, making it stronger than knives that are cast or machined. I have one of these at home. Let me tell you, it is sharper than my other fancy and more expensive Germany knives. Get it, and start chopping and slicing away... Mr. Miyaki style! :-)

Fast Shipping, Very good and beautiful knife, sharp, strong and the steel like silver. For example, I used this to cut my tomatoes very often in the morning to prepare my breakfast, the cutting was so precise and easy, I just cut it once, that was it, the tomato was sliced into thin pieces, this wasn't the case for my old knife.
