Shenzhen Knives Chef Series. Ceramic Knife Set - 3-piece (Chef's, Slicing & Paring) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are excellent knives for the price. Being a bit of a knife nerd, here is what I've found:

First, these are ceramic knives, and all ceramic knives have a classic trade-off - they are hard but delicate. They will slice effortlessly though anything softer than the knife, but will break if you force it against something harder (bones, coffee mugs, diamonds). That being said, because they are so hard, they will hold a professional-quality edge no matter how unprofessional you are.

The edge on these knives is comparable to some of my top-end Japanese knives, and whereas my Japanese knives require regular sharpening and oiling to keep them sharp and rust free, the ShenZhen ceramic knives are practically idiot-proof.

The best way to think of these knifes is as the lazy-man's carbon-steel super-fancy $1000 Japanese Chef's knife. You wouldn't use those knives to bone a chicken, and you wouldn't cut on a hard surface with them, and you certainly wouldn't drop them. Ceramic knives are no different, but unlike carbon-steel, they require absolutely no maintenance. You can leave them wet, you can cut through acidic foods, you can buy new ones for cheaper than it costs to get them sharpened.

The best thing about this item is that it comes as a three-pack, with Chef's, slicing and paring knives. If you use the right knife for the right task, you're less likely to break it or chip it by using it incorrectly.

The knives are light and quick, and the handles are good whether you like to grip the knife or pinch the blade. The one ding I have is on the handles - they look a bit cheap since they're made of non-slip rubber, but this seems to be a consistent characteristic of ceramic knives - you can't affix them to a wooden handle because you can't drill holes into the tang.

Oh, and all those people who say "These knives are so sharp you might cut yourself LOL" have no idea what they're talking about. A dull knife is the most dangerous thing in the kitchen. A sharp knife goes where you want without having to force the cut, and without having to hold your fingers so close to the cutting zone to stabilize the food you're cutting.

Bottom line: Buy these knives. They're cheap, they're good, they let the little guy slice sushi like the big boys.
