 Excellent KnifeJan 05, 2005
By Annie 6078
I took a knife skills class and immediately fell in love with this santoku. It has a hollow and extremely sharp edge and the length allows you to smoothly rock the knife to slice quickly and effortlessly. The granton edge helps keep food from sticking to the blade while slicing and the knife itself is well-balanced with a solid bolster and tang. The wide blade is also wonderful for scooping up from the cutting board to bowl or pan. This knife is going to be my workhorse, no doubt about it!
Because it's expensive, I feel that I should warn that if you cut on glass, marble, ceramic or other hard surfaces, you'll be wasting your money, because this knife edge will be destroyed by those. It should also be honed on a fine or smooth steel before each use to keep that razor edge straight and then professionally sharpened once or twice a year.
I highly recommend this knife -- very good quality.

Great Knife - Great ValueOct 08, 2005
By S. Graf
This is a awsome knife. Super sharp. Great weight and easy to use on almost anything Veggis, Seafood, Sushi, Beef etc. Cut Salami or Carrots paper thin. I bet you could probably take care of a Coconut with this one! The slices fall right of the side, no more sticking to the blade! Great for chopping as well. I have almost all the 4 Star Henckels and I love them all. I can highly recommend this Knife. The same Santoku knife also comes in 5 inches lenght (for ten dollars less) in case you are interested.

A+ for ANY Kitchen...May 09, 2005
By K8

Cuts everything from tomatoes to squash easily -- if you have a lot of cutting to do, less fatigue on the hands. Great for use as a cleaver or a slicer. Multi-use -- I have had my Santoku for almost a year, I love it... I got the set with the 4" paring knife, too. I am to the point I only use these two knives in my kitchen for prep work.
Worth it's price.

Requires slight "tuning"Jan 15, 2007
By Vincent Rago
Purchased this knife to round out a set of other four star knives. As a Santoku, it has the classic rocker shape, long bevel on the cutting edge, and plenty of finger clearance. Not sure how effective the kullens are. As a Four Star knife, it is thinner than others in the set and has a more abrupt front bolster, both due to the Santoku pattern. Also, when it came in, the back edge and the edges of the bolster were very sharp and uncomfortable to use. I burnished them off with my sharpening steel to make the knife comfortable to use. Now "tuned" it's an excelent addition to my set. Selected the 7 inch over the 5 inch on a hunch and glad for the size.

Great BuyAug 24, 2009
By M. Barrasso
I've owned Henckels for years, regularly defaulting to my trusty 8 inch Chef's Knife (which I thought was extremely sharp until I used this knife). However, after purchasing the Santoku, I find myself using it for everthing. It is the sharpest knife I have ever used. The indentations on the blade make it ideal for chopping things that normally stick to other blades (cheese and veggies). Although the blade is thinner than my other Henckels, it still feels very sturdy and substantial when held in the hand. I would highly recommend this knife to anyone who is serious about their cutlery and plans on taking the necessary steps to maintain this great knife.
