Buy Shun Classic 3-1/2-Inch Straight Vegetable Knife

CUSTOMER REVIEW



This is my new favorite paring knife. I lived in Germany a while back and brought home a handful of kitchen knives from various manufacturers. Until now, a couple of those German knives were among my favorite kitchen tools. However, last week I sliced up some mangoes, bananas, and limes with this little Shun paring knife, and I have already given away some of my old German knives. This Shun knife cuts quickly and cleanly, and the rounded handle was very comfortable to hold in comparison to the rectangular handle on some other knives.

The small one is good. The larger one, well I wish the blade was narrower.

These were a Christmas gift for my daughter. I've had my set for 2 years and still love them. They are the sharpest knives I've ever owned and hold an edge better than far higher priced sets.

Buy 50th Wedding Anniversary Cake Knife Server

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Very nice looking and worked well for cutting the cake. Be careful washing it, the 50th Anniversary words on the blade washed off. Disappointed after being part of the celebration.

Buy Chicago Cutlery 1090390 Fusion 18-Piece Knife Block Set, Stainless Steel with Honey Maple Wood Block

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I will start by saying that I purchased these for $99 which at $5.5 represents a great value-per-knife ratio



Here is a ranked order of things I look for in a Knife Set:

1) Sharp as hell

2) Sharp as hell

3) Sharp as hell

4) looks pretty



That is the entire list. I am not nearly proficient enough in the kitchen to have other requirements. The knives are sharp as hell. They cut the crap out of stuff. I enjoy showing off their sharpness to amazed visitors (more realistically, I just show my girlfriend over and over again). Look how easy it is to cut through lemons! You try! Case closed. They are also a pretty good looking knife set. I'm not sure I needed 18 knives, because I only know what about 8 of them do, but it is impressive looking and really makes people know that I'm the boss.



I purchased them about 1 month ago, so I cannot objectively weigh in on the rust-issue (I have none at this point). Therefore my only real con at this point is that this point is that the block is really big and awkwardly fits in my small New York City kitchen. Please note the massive size before you follow me to sharpcity.



Update: 4/27/14 - THERE IS NO RUST. Believe it.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I've owned these set of knives for approx. 2 months . After reading some negative reviews I was somewhat apprehensive about the product , but for the price I decided to give them a try . I am very impressed with this set. They are well built, sturdy , and very sharp. I have run them in the dishwasher several times and have yet to see any problems . The only problem is that they want to discolor if food is not rinsed off prior to going in the dishwasher ,however, the stain can be removed easily . If I had owned this set for 6 months before reviewing it and still didn't have probs. I would definetly give 5 stars .

Buy Global GS-39 - 5 1/2 inch, 14cm Vegetable Hollow Ground Knife

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I've dealt with many knives over the years, but this is my first Global. First off, the appearance/finish of this knife is second to none, it almost looks too good to cut with. As for performance, this is the sharpest kitchen knife I've ever used, hands down! It cuts through veggies effortlessly with such smooth precision. It's safe to say that the Henckel's aren't going to be getting much use anymore, since I now plan to piece together a nice set of Global knives.

Buy Ginsu 04817 International Traditions 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, Natural

CUSTOMER REVIEW



We bought this set 2 months back after reviewing them on Amazon. Since this is our first knife set I can not really compare with other name brand products in the market. But these were cheapest among the lot, and we are very pleased with their initial quality. As mentioned by other reviewers they are very very sharp, and easily cut through straight. The blades are thick and the handles look solid. We always wash/dry them by hand right after the use and never put them in dishwasher. We have not seen a single rust spot or any discoloration of handles. I will definitely buy more of these to gift friends and family.



Update on Sept 30, 2007:

After 6 months of use, I still stand by my review. The sharpness is intact and there are no rust spots at all. Very pleased with the quality and super low price. I regret not picking more of these from Sears Clearance, where I bought them for less than $20.



Update on Nov 26, 2010:

Just wanted to give a quick update that these knives are still performing great.



Sept 28, 2011:

Still going strong. No issues. No rust. the two knives that we use every single day, have lost some of their sharpness, but they still have few more years left in them.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I purchased this very knife from a local Asian market b/c I wanted to see if I would like this kind of knife being I've never used one. It was 1/2 the price of Amazon's! It has a good weight to it and is very sharp! I plan to upgrade in the future, but for now this knife looks, feels and performs like a more expensive knife.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I own Wusthoff, Global, Shun and other high end Japanese knives, as well as an assortment of not quite so high end knives. I also own a moderate collection of pocket knives, including Cold Steel, Spydercos, Benchmades, CRK's, Kershaws, and Zero Tolerance. So after a time I've acquired a fair to middling taste and knowledge about knives. The Zhen knives in my opinion offer great quality at a very reasonable price. VG10 steel from my experience is first rate: highly resistant to rust and stains (especially if well cared for), holds an edge long and is fairly easy to sharpen. The knives are surprisingly lightweight (a plus in my opinion) and are aesthetically very pleasing to boot. Very highly recommended.
