Does anyone have a comment about the actual product listed?

I'm in the market for a solid knife, not too expensive, and I seem to always find that there are extremely negative reviews on Amazon claiming that the product is junk
If you can spend a bit more the 2 piece wusthof classic knives on slickdeals for 122.50 are much much better than these and the only 2 knives you need. Those are made in Germany and just awesome to use vs my cheap forged knives like these

I think this MIGHT have been true before, though I would argue a Shun classic Chef regularly goes on sale under a hundred and is better than a Kiwi and has been for a long time. That being said, some of the new knives from the better Chinese makers are actually insane. Link below. I own 4 Shun Classics and a $300+ Shun Hikari Santoku, and just recently saw a non sponsored youtube video (link at the bottom) that tested a bunch of cheap knives off Amazon along with a $300~ custom and a $175 Whustoff. The Shan Zu tested head and shoulders over everything except the custom, and it was close enough to the custom to be hard to justify the good custom. I recently got in the 6 inch and it's probably the single sharpest knife I have ever seen new from factory. Sharper than a brand new razer blade for my box cutter or my Hikari when it was new. I can PROBABLY get my Hikari sharper, but at that point you are unironically splitting hairs. https://www.amazon.com/Damascus-J...to_dp&th=1See above, the Kiwi's have a lot of issues but if you just won't spend more than 10-15 they are well reviewed for that price point. but for not much more you can get a MUCH better knife with much better edge retention. Just wanted to tag you since you were interested in the Kiwis. Video comparing a lot of the better rated budget knives on Amazon bought out of pocket unsponsored from a dude who knows his stuff on knives generally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EDjDkeeXwg&t=1s
Sure, but I'd argue that an entry level Shun for $80-90 is still inferior to a MAC TH80 or Tojiro for similar price. The Daovua V3 (not the older leaf spring ones) is probably better. Most Shun stuff you're paying more for the visual Damascus type stuff. The steel isn't any better. That said, I think people are buying $50 kitchen aid and thinking it's better than a $10 kiwi, and they are absolutely wrong.

Need recs on new knife set. The handles on the steak knives have cracked. It was a $50-100 set from cuisinart from a few years back. I'm torn between just getting a few steak knives and keeping the rest of the cuisinart knives from the set or getting the following below from Amazon

$20

Shipper / Seller DaSalla's

Not Prime, and read the reviews with refund issues.

You need to manually select Amazon as the seller on the right.

Personally I think the Wusthofs underperform pretty badly compared to a lot of cheaper stuff. Bolsters are awful, and the Wisthof's have a classic german "thick" blade, which means they cut much worse than a newer profile like the more Japanese knives which are half as thick at the back. Not saying the one you have is a bad knife, and frankly I think MOST people should be buying knives in person somewhere that will let them cut/handle a display, because how the knife feels in your hand is more important than the edge or retention imo.

Quote from BraveMustang5764 :
Very cool, thanks for posting that. What is a good way to sharpen the shan zu? I'm 100% newbie to knives.
I haven't made it that far with it honestly. The dude whose videos I linked has a TON of content on knife sharpening options. My Shuns all have lifetime free sharpening by the manufacturer so I've only ever had to sharpen my throw around dishwasher trash knives lol. Sorry wish I had more advice on that front.

Quote from theboypat :
The knife you posted isn't full tang, is that an issue? I'm asking as I was always under the assumption it mattered but have no real knowledge.
In my opinion no, but it's also about use case (and my opinion is an outlier amongst knife snobs on this to be fair). None of the japanese style knives should be used for like cleaving through bones and stuff, they are extremely hard, thin and RELATIVELY brittle compared to say a thick German knife (see above comments on Whustoff). But for general meat cutting, vegetables etc it won't matter on a knife you are hand washing/drying and not using to cleave things with.

Oh man no argument there on there being better things than my Shun Classics at those price points. I got sold on the Shuns because I could handle them in person at Sur La Tab and Williams Sonoma when I was finally buying my first "good" knife. At the time I had never handled a D handle knife and it was a revelation on comfort for a pinch grip compared to the classic Germans with Bolsters lol. But yeah I wouldn't touch this set from Henckles or anything "Kitchenaid" (Almost certainly just renting their name out toa third party) makes on knives. I own the "double dude" henckle knife block with steak knives, it's my "garbage" when I don't have the time/energy to hand wash one of my good knives and they go in the dishwasher with the understanding that "if they die, they die".

I might pickup a Kiwi set at some point. I seem to be developing a bit of an addiction for trying random sub $50 knives of late, though the Shan Zu is so good that might be over lol. Blade geometry matters a lot, so I imagine them being thin bladed is a lot of why they cut well. Same reason a high end Whustoff won't cut as well as a knife by Babish even.


Quote from wiseghost :
Victorinox knives are generally well regarded and inexpensive. I personally also like spyderco kitchen knives. I had good luck with Kai series from Kershaw. My absolute favorite is Mora with red wood handle, but I'm biased as it is mostly based on a sentimental value.
I'm guessing you already know this but Kershaw makes Shuns. Just saw you mention them. Never seen the Mora I dont think.

Is this the same set for $20 at walmart? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hencke.../218951799

Also, what does "never needs sharpening" mean? https://www.target.com/p/henckels...nk=sametab

If you are interested in Zwilling 7" santoku, I would suggest getting one made in Germany instead of the one made in China. A friend of mine had the Chinese version Henckels for a couple of years and it became so dull that he was about to pay for professional sharpening. After I gifted him a German version Henckels, he threw away the Chinese made knife.

This 7-inch ZWILLING (Henckels) Four Star Hollow Edge Santoku Knife (made in Germany) posted last month is still $40 after coupon. https://slickdeals.net/f/18704881-7-inch-zwilling-henckels-four-star-hollow-edge-santoku-knife-made-in-germany-40-at-bedbathandbeyond-com-with-20-off-coupon-free-shipping-over-50-40?v=1

For people under budget, I would suggest Tramontina Pro-Series made in Brazil. A 8" chefs knife is $8. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tramon.../917025500 . Or a 3pc set for $15. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tramon.../940222454

Both Zwilling Four Star and Tramontina Pro-Series are the work horses in my kitchen for at least 10 years. I use a separate knife to cut raw meat for sanitary reason. Tramontina Pro-Series is the only knife ever touched raw meat in my kitchen and it is dishwasher safe.
