Review: Hab es jetzt eine weile in Benutzung. Gute Verarbeitung, der Griff ist sehr hochwertig und liegt super in der hand. Der stahl leicht zu schärfen. Balance ist sehr gut. Das Damaskus ist geschmiedet und nicht gelasert. Die primärphase kommt super dünn und sauber ausgeschliffen. Ich sammel messer und habe auch messer aus dem Fachhandel die diesem in nichts nachstehen. Viel messer für wenig Geld. Ich werde nochmal eins als geschenk kaufen.
Review: Un set de couteaux qui fait toute la différence en cuisine ! ★★★★★ Dès la première utilisation, j'ai été impressionné par la qualité de ces couteaux Shan Zu. Couper un oignon est devenu un vrai plaisir : les tranches sont parfaitement fines, sans aucun écrasement. Après plusieurs semaines d'usage intensif, je constate que les lames gardent remarquablement bien leur tranchant - bien mieux que mes anciens couteaux à prix équivalent. Ce que j'apprécie particulièrement : Un confort d'utilisation exceptionnel : les manches ergonomiques épousent parfaitement la main, même lors de longues sessions de cuisine. Le couteau à désosser est un vrai bijou pour préparer les volailles avec précision. L'aiguiseur intégré fait des miracles et prolonge considérablement la durée de vie des lames. Quelques points à noter : Le bloc de rangement est assez imposant (prévoir de la place sur le plan de travail) Comme tous les bons couteaux, un affûtage occasionnel reste nécessaire Mon avis franc : Si vous passez du temps en cuisine et cherchez des couteaux fiables et durables, ce set est un excellent choix. Le prix est justifié par une qualité qui rivalise avec des marques bien plus chères. Un investissement qui change vraiment le quotidien !
