Cooking Nerd 8/23/2012 8:30:58 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5A bargain...after a resharpen Pros: The least expensive VG-10 knives on the market. Comfortable handle and balance. Light weight with a very sharp tip. Very nice edge after resharpening to 15 degrees. Cons: Not so sharp out of the box. Ugly but functional. You will have to resharpen to get some cooking joy. Other Thoughts: I bought the Zhen 4" & 3.5" VG-10 Fruit carving knives initially to check out the quality of the steel before possibly ordering some of Zhen's wooden handled models. For a long time I've been looking for some paring length knives to go with some Japanese knives I bought at Tsubaya (Tokyo) back in the 90's. Alas, anyone who has sought these out is usually stunned by the US prices which can run $200+ for a paring knife. This is frustrating for people that want to use the superior VG-10 steel knives as everyday cooking tools but not spend thousands on a knife set. Zhen appears to have recognized this market and is offering affordable Chinese made knives with high quality Japanese steel. The result is a fantastic bargain(after resharpening) if you are looking for a superior cooking "tool" that won't break the bank. *I resharpened the blades on a Chef's Choice mod.1520 15/20 degree electric sharpener (I burned out on hand-honing years ago)...it's about the cooking not the sharpening Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
