XINZUO 73 Layers Hand Forged Damascus Kitchen Knife Set-5Pcs Professional Chef Knife Set,High Carbon Steel With Natural 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 knife is lightweight, beautiful and can keep an edge which is important to me because I'm a butcher

The cleaver has nice balance and arrived sharp. Haven't used it enough to determine how the edge holds up but it is very well built in every way. The one thing that prompted me not to rate it a 5 star is that the edge is slightly curved rather than having complete contact with a cutting surface. My preference is for an even edge for chopping.

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.

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.

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.

I love the beauty of blade pattern, the handles and the edge sharpness.
