Wusthof Classic Hollow-Ground Santoku Knife

Combining the duties of both a chef's knife and a cleaver, this santoku is deftly proportioned for precision tasks like mincing and paper-thin slicing. The high-carbon-steel blade has shallow oval-shaped depressions along the cutting edge that keep foods from adhering to it. Knife is precision forged from a single piece of sturdy high-carbon steel that resists stains and corrosion. Blade has hollow-ground depressions to reduce friction and minimize sticking. Full tang is triple riveted to the handle for exceptional durability and control. Polypropylene handle is contoured for a comfortable grip.

Excellent knife!
April 26, 2013
I had earlier purchased the smaller of the two knives in this style and liked it so much I decided to buy the larger one. I have a large Wusthof classic chef knife that I hardly ever use now as this one is so versatile and easy to use. Well balanced, feels good in my hand, and very sharp.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Balance, Easy to Clean, Size, Versatile, Sharpness, Weight

Hurts to buy but worth it.
September 21, 2011
Bought myself one of these knives, loved it, so even bought a second one for my brother. Very sharp, nice balance, slips food pretty good and makes prep work almost fun. My bro's wife told me he has been grinning ear to ear using it. Be careful of that back edge...its mean!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Balance, Sharpness
Cons: careful when its in soapy water..sharp

"Knife Snob"
June 7, 2011
This knife has turned me into a 'knife snob'. Once you've tasted how much simpler and faster cooking can be with a sharp and well balanced knife is, you won't want to use anything else. I use the knife mostly on vegetables and some meats, and it stays sharp for a good couple months before needing to be sharpened again. It's very comfortable to hold and work with, the blade is a good size and thickness. I will wash this knife to use it on multiple items before I would go to a second knife, and any time I cook outside my apartment - I bring this knife with me. Very pleased with it, and I'm not one to give out 5 stars lightly.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Balance, Easy to Clean, Size, Versatile, Sharpness, Shape, Weight

Perfect multi-purpose knife
March 25, 2010
This knife is a great fit for my hands, which are smaller than my husbands, The handle is solid and the knife easily slices, dices, and chops. It is a fantastic tool!
