If you want to keep your knife like a professional, you just need to be more careful for about two minutes. We recommend that you wash your knife by hand and dry it completely after each use. Never place a sharp blade in the dishwasher, as it may hit other objects, such as glass and ceramic materials harder than steel. Do not use abrasives on the blade, such as a shine pad or scouring pad that may slightly scratch the metal. 2. Never place unprotected knives in a drawer, they will quickly become dull. You can use a magnetic magnetic strip for the knives. If you don't want a magnetic strip attached to the wall, buy a blade guard. This way you can place your knife in a drawer and keep the edge protected. 3. Use your knife only on a wooden, plastic or rubber cutting board. Never let the blade hit glass, granite, marble or ceramic. ## Features - Stainless Steel Kitchen Knife: The SHAN ZU Chef knife is crafted from high-carbon stainless steel with a hardness of 53HRC, ensuring rust resistance, sharpness, and long-lasting performance.

I have never gotten on with my 21cm Victorinox knife as the blade is too flexible for me and was looking for the 20cm Robert Welch to add to my collection when I saw this. I bought it on a lightning deal for £29.99 and took a bit of a punt as I have never heard of the company and their English on their listing is pretty poor which in my experience usually doesn't bode well...The knife arrived well packaged in a nice cardboard presentation box which you would be pleased to receive as a gift. The knife is well balanced and has en extremely comfortable handle. The blade is broad (much boarder than my Robert Welch or Victorinox of the same size) but this is a good thing as it gives you plenty of area for smashing garlic/picking up chopped onions etc. Despite its size it is not overly heavy compared to my other knives and my wife was happy using it this morning although the blade is a little on the long side for her. I have signed up to their mailing list as I will be buying whatever size paring & utility knife they decide to launch in this series. I am sure this will become a fast favourite in the knife block. I would have no hesitation buying this instead of a knife twice its cost. ## Frequently Bought Together - SHAN ZU Chef's Knife 8 Inches High-Carbon High-Chrome 3-Layer Steel Stainless Steel Knives with G10 Handle - Classic series - SHAN ZU Cleaver Knife, Japanese Kitchen Knives 7 Inch High-Carbon German Butcher Chef Knife Stainless Steel Sharp Chopper Chinese Carving Knife Professional Utility Knife with Pakkawood Handle - SHAN ZU Sharpening Stone, Whetstone with Angle Guide Non-Slip Bamboo Base grit 1000/6000 Knife Sharpeners, Professional 2-in-1 Wetstone --- ## 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.us/products/50841174-shan-zu-japanese-chef-knife-8-inch-professional-kitchen-knives](https://www.desertcart.us/products/50841174-shan-zu-japanese-chef-knife-8-inch-professional-kitchen-knives) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
