XINZUO8.3 Inch Chef Knife 73 Layer Damascus Powder Steel, Professional Kitchen Cooking Knife Gyuto Knife, Hand Forged Sharp Blade Slicing Knife with Olive Wood Handle -Lan Series

Lately, I've noticed that certain knives have been displaying signs of becoming dull. It's been quite frustrating because I've been experiencing one problem after another with my knives. Eventually, I discovered that the chef in my kitchen had mistakenly been using my these knives. As I mentioned earlier, this particular knife boasts exceptional durability, and its handle's ergonomic design offers great flexibility, enabling effortless cutting of a variety of foods.Therefore, my advice to anyone in need is to exercise caution when using their knives. Regardless of a knife's quality or its impressive toughness, it should never be treated as an axe. That's definitely not its intended purpose, after all! Lol.------------------------------------------------------------Since I own my own restaurant, we have our own standards and requirements for knives. When I saw this knife and its reviews, I eagerly purchased it with high expectations.They claimed that this knife is made of high-quality 73-layer Damascus steel, with excellent toughness and even after frequent daily use, it maintains a sharp edge like a razor for a long time. Undeniably, everything was great when we first started using it, but unfortunately, my chef found that the knife became dull after a while, even shortly after sharpening. I really don't think a $139 knife should perform so poorly.Overall, it's definitely not worth recommending as the price and quality of the product are not proportional. I'm very disappointed!

A proper review would require a Warrior Poet. The esthetics and performance are profound. Professionally sharpened. I like to look at it in full sunlight. I Love it. I'm going to buy one for every person who regularly prepares me food.

The handle hardware is seamless and transitions smoothly to the handle. Construction is tight and the blade is quality.My only complaint is that the pocket for the shears in the knife block feels amd looks like a clumsy afterthought when compared to the rest of the set.

Great knives…beautiful block for holding as well….I loved everything about it except for size and the rust on my scissors.I ordered another set … minus the block and the Scissors.The replacement was delivered and the seller still had not acknowledged my return or refund.If you are uncertain about this product be open minded to the length of time it may take for the processing of your exchange/order.

The knives look beautiful, cut cleanly and the Damascus patterned blades come with a nice edge. That said, I have only hand washed them, yet some of the handles have become rough and have begun to “shrink” from the butt.

The olive wood handle is soft and very nice. It does need to be maintained with mineral oil and bees wax. You also have to use Japanese whet stones for best results. Overall these are great knives if you take care of them. They are very sharp that I didn’t notice the cut until I got lime juice on my hand. Very good knives!

These knives were purchased as a gift, and the recipient could not have been more pleased. They’re even more attractive and functional in person. Also purchased a magnetic knife board, which was also a success.

Pattern is not like in the pictures but its good

Couldn’t ask for a better chef knife.. excellent purchase.

My initial surch asked for a Japanes Chef's Knife and a whole list of knives showd up. When I made my selection,there was reference that it was made from Damascus steel only with no reference to any country of origin. When the product arrived the first thing I noticed in bold letters on the box that the Knife was made in China. I bought it as a gift and I am disappointed as I feel I have bean misled in the advertising. Don't know the quality of the knives as I have not opened the packaging as mentioned it is a gift.

This knife is not real Damascus steel. It is sharp but not $150 good.
