Are they dishwasher safe indeed?** A: In theory nothing wrong, salt will not cause issues with the stainless steel blade, despite thoughts to the opposite. However the handles claim to be wood, so if you do wash them in a dishwasher get them out when the cycle is finished and make sure to dry. **Q: Can they go in dishwasher or will they rust up?** A: I have put them in the dishwasher & they they don’t rust but I would recommend you wash them under the tap as the salt in the dishwasher tablet will dull the blade over time. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb quality - over two years post purchase. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 April 2026* Had mine for over two years and it is my go to knife for more or less everything. It holds and edge super well, sharpens easily and doesn't chip or roll too easily when chopping, even through bone.Handle is comfy and has held up to the abuses of being washed in the dishwasher once or twice a day for 20+ months. Good quality material for blade and handle.Size is very comfortable for myself and my partner, the wide cheek of the blade means safe chopping as you can finger guide safely without risking your nails or your knuckles and making it a dream to use. The bolster of the knife is smooth and allows for good finger positioning.It's absolute steal of a price for what it is and the quality you get. Only came back to review as I'm considering buying more or their blades as I end up using this knife for things that a full length chefs knife would be more appropriate for.I recommend this specific knife for anyone who even mentions kitchen knives around me. Superb. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptionally sharp, beautifully presented and built to perform *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 October 2025* The SHAN ZU 16-piece knife set is an outstanding addition to any kitchen - comprehensive, well-balanced and designed with real attention to both performance and presentation. It offers a wide variety of blades, ensuring that the right knife is always on hand for any task, from everyday food preparation to more intricate work.Each knife feels well balanced in the hand, with just the right amount of weight for comfortable, controlled cutting. The high-carbon stainless steel blades are impressively sharp straight out of the box, making quick work of everything from vegetables to tougher cuts of meat. They maintain their edge well with regular care, and the included sharpener makes occasional maintenance simple.Cleaning is straightforward - they rinse easily and dry quickly. On one occasion, I accidentally ran them through the dishwasher after forgetting to properly secure the salt compartment, and a small amount of surface rust appeared. That experience reinforced the importance of handwashing, but it’s worth noting that the issue was entirely down to user error rather than any fault in the knives themselves.Visually, the set looks excellent. The sleek, modern design complements both traditional and contemporary kitchens, and the block provides an elegant storage solution that keeps everything neatly organised and within easy reach.Overall, this is a first-rate knife set that combines sharpness, balance and aesthetic appeal in equal measure. It’s ideal for both keen home cooks and those who simply appreciate high-quality, reliable tools in their kitchen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality & Value *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 March 2026* This knife is incredibly sharp right out of the box! It has a great weight & balance, with an excellent handle & grip. My only reservation was the lack of Ideogram Marks on the Blade, Centre Stud on the Handle, & Mark on the End of the Handle, differing from the illustration. Although this has no impact on the performance, which is superb, it's a little disappointing they're missing from my version. Apart from this minor issue, I would highly recommend this item after using it for some weeks. Also, Customer Service is excellent, with prompt replies & communication regarding any enquiries. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase, & would definitey purchase other items in this range. ## Frequently Bought Together - SHAN ZU 7 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 - SHAN ZU Damascus Knife Set, Japanese Super Steel 3 PCS Damascus High Carbon Professional Ultra-Sharp Kitchen Chef Knife Set with G10 Handle Gift Box --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/535092706-shan-zu-cleaver-knife-7-inch-japanese-professional-kitchen-chopper](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/535092706-shan-zu-cleaver-knife-7-inch-japanese-professional-kitchen-chopper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
