SHAN ZU Knife Set with Block, Japanese Super Steel Kitchen Knives with Removable Block & Ergonomic Handle

From the renowned SHAN ZU brand, we present the Black Tortoise Genbu Series Japanese Super Steel Kitchen Knife Sets with Removable Block. These exceptional knives are inspired by the legendary SHAN ZU, an ancient Chinese chef who mastered the art of wholesome recipes and created numerous famous dishes.

SHAN ZU, the driving force behind these kitchen products, is committed to providing premium knives of exceptional sharpness, impeccable details, and superior quality. Their goal is not merely to sell knives, but to "sell" the joy of cooking and the happiness of everyday life to people worldwide.

The Genbu Series takes its design inspiration from the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Auspicious Beasts of East Asian mythology. Depicted as a tortoise entwined with a snake, this mythical creature is known as the "Black Warrior" and is revered as a guardian spirit that protects the city of Kyoto, Japan.

In China, this entity is called Xuanwu and represents the north and the winter season, earning it the title of the Black Tortoise of the North and a deity of the northern sky.

Each knife in this set has undergone a rigorous 32-step manufacturing process, from cutting and straightening to heat treatment, grinding, and polishing. This meticulous attention to detail, combined with classic design elements and cutting-edge technology, has resulted in an outstanding knife block set.

SHAN ZU believes that customers are the most discerning group when it comes to distinguishing good from bad materials and craftsmanship. Therefore, they pay close attention to every tiny detail, ensuring that every part fits perfectly. Unlike some other knife brands, SHAN ZU never compromises on the quality of the steel or exaggerates its capabilities.

The 16-piece kitchen knife set includes an 8" Chef Knife, 7" Santoku Knife, 8" Bread Knife, 8" Slicing Knife, 7" Fillet Knife, 6" Utility Knife, 3.75" Paring Knife, a set of 6 4.5" Steak Knives, Kitchen Scissors, and a Knife Sharpening Rod, all housed in a Removable Wood Block. This versatile collection allows users to select the most suitable knife for any task.

The Acacia wood knife block features a separated steak knife section, enabling users to place the 6 steak knives wherever they feel comfortable, combining practicality and aesthetics.

The unrivaled sharpness of these Japanese knives is the result of the 32-step manufacturing process, with the design blending traditional mythology and modern elements. Refined aesthetics, incredible edge retention, and outstanding performance have made this knife set a popular choice in the market.

SHAN ZU aims to bring the wonderful blessing of the Black Tortoise, or Genbu, to its customers. The company is committed to providing a lifetime of satisfaction and standing ready to solve any problems that may arise. These SHAN ZU kitchen knife sets make practical and creative gifts for loved ones, spreading the joy of cooking and life happiness around the world.
