Gyuto Japanese Chef's Knife | Takumi Series

I don't normally get knives when a Japanese style handle because I'm not used how they feel but I get a very controlled grip on this handle. This knife is extremely sharp out of the box. Yes, it even shaves hair. The blade has a hammered finish, which helps to keep it from sticking to food, and it has a black coating of some sort on the hammered part. The handle is definitely fiberglass and it looks pretty cool. This knife is perfect for my basic, everyday cutting. It's very well made and cuts a hundred times better than the knives I've been using for the past 20 years.

This coltello is very good. Offers a good presa and super affilato. Ho provato a tagliare alcune scatole di cartone spesse e le ha tagliate comme se gravero fatte di burro. Be careful when using this item, perché sono sicuro che non avete dita di riserva en giro.

I will be happy with the fact that this is the case for professional customers. Dieses hier sieht nicht nur richtig toll aus, sondern ist auch sehr scharf. Er hat sich sehr darüber gefreut und es auch direkt ausprobiert. No more Gemüse, sondern also Fleisch lässt sich ohne Probleme sehr akkurat damit schneiden. Es liegt sehr gut in der Hand, so dass man auch sehr schnell damit schneiden kann. Ein tolles Messer für einen fairen Prices.

Excellent faca, cumpre com tudo que ser, limpo limpo and precise. A long-lasting professional product that has long-lasting handling. It is an exceptional price that offers high quality.

I am very happy with this chef's knife. I love having a heavy knife for cutting tough vegetables or when I'm only going to be cutting for a short period of time. This is by far the heaviest knife I have outside of my cleavers. My kitchen cutlery collection includes Shun, Miyabi, Enso, Lamson, and several Japanese style knives made in China by AExpress. The quality is much better than any of my other Chinese made knives. The fit and finish is excellent and the handle is extremely comfortable. The balance of this heavy knife makes it feel nimble in your hands even though it weighs 250 grams (8.8 ounces). It was super sharp right out of the box and holds its edge well. My only complaint is the black hammered finish. There is no mention anywhere with details about the black coating. Is it paint? Is it blued steel? Is this something that will start to flake or peel in a few months? I hate the idea of ​​it coming off into my food. Granted, it's a very small risk since the black coating is only on the top third of the knife, which gets much less wear, but an uncoated blade with a hammered finish would still have looked great and would have completely alleviated the problem. I still think it deserves 5 stars, as it's a nice set overall.

I absolutely adore this knife. It is a little larger than I envisaged so I will purchase another one smaller and have the best of all worlds. Great product, great service and good price.

Its steel is known for its high resistance to corrosion and its ability to maintain a sharp edge. I found that to be the case with this knife. And I simply use it as a bread knife, so it should maintain its edge for a very long time.

The handle is made of G-10, a fiberglass laminate set with epoxy resin, which is very strong and water-resistant. It is therefore dishwasher safe, although for best long-term results it should be hand washed.

In puncto Schärfe, Gewicht und Design verdient das Kochmesser von SHANZU absolute 5 Sterne! Ich must know, das ist das allerbeste Messer, das ich je benutzt und ausprobiert habe. If you do it, you will see megascharf dies Messer ist. When you get it, you can also add some Paper Stuff (Quittung) to the left of the Klinge you have. These Messer schneidet glatt and ohne Risse hindurch, fast wie ein Rasiermesser. Mir gefällt auch der Griff, denn er ist glatt, liegt gut in der Hand und schneidet nicht in die Hand. I will be able to show you what you're looking for, if you don't know what you're looking for.

Ich dieses Messer von SHANZU wärmstens empfehlen, denn dieses Messer schneidet nur einfach durch alles, sondern ist auch ein sehr solids und gut aussehendes Messer, das geschmiedet ist, um bei richtiger Pflege ein Leben lang zu halten.

SUMMARY
When I opened the box, the first thing I noticed was the texture of the knife. It had a “hammered” look to the top of the blade. [see photo] This is also clearly visible in the advertising. I was told that it breaks up the vacuum that is sometimes created when a wide blade cuts through a thick piece of meat. So… good! The next thing I noticed was the weight. At 9.5 oz (over ½ lb), this is the heaviest knife in our drawer. [see photos] I checked the balance point and it is right where the sharp part of the blade curves out of the handle.[see photo] While the proper balance point is a matter of taste, when I checked online it seems that this balance point gives its user better control, is more comfortable to hold, and creates less fatigue. Overall, this gives this knife good marks. By the way. It is VERY sharp. I cut a very tender tomato with it and there was no compression of the outer skin. I can't vouch for the longevity of its edge, but it has certainly started to work well! It is a bit more expensive than some similar knives but it may be worth it. I recommend it to serious chefs.
