Wusthof Grand Prix II Hollow-Ground Santoku Knife
Combining German craftsmanship and traditional Japanese styling, this santoku is deftly proportioned for precision tasks like mincing and paper-thin slicing. The high-carbon-steel blade has shallow oval-shaped depressions 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. Wusthof's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) creates an extraordinarily sharp blade that retains its edge 30% longer. Wide blade has hollow-ground depressions to reduce friction and minimize sticking. Tang extends deep into the handle for exceptional durability and control. Heavy bolster provides perfect balance. Pebbled polypropylene handle is contoured for a secure grip.

Wusthof Grand Prix II Hollow-Ground Santokus
August 10, 2011
I have a set of Wusthof knives and use them daily. I needed a smaller blade and the 5" santokus was perfect. The blade stays sharper longer than the chef knife but it's not noticeable unless you kept track of when you sharpened your blades. My husband prefers the longer blades but his hands are much bigger than mine.
Pros: Quality, Balance, Size, Versatile

You only appreciate things after you've lost them

I used this knife for almost everything, it was my favorite. It was sharp and stayed sharp, it fit perfectly in my hand and it was perfectly balanced. But I only realized that after my wife attempted to chop a piece of bone and broke it. I was forced to use other knives and it made me realize how perfect this one was.
I missed you so much while you were gone and now that I have you back, I will never let you go.

I have one and have given 3 as gifts so far. It's probably one of the most affordable and useful things one could possibly give.

Fantastic buy
April 21, 2010
For years I used just a run of the mill chef's knife to prep vegetable and meat, and I had bought this knife for several friends/family as gifts but never for myself! I purchased this knife finally for my own use, and it has changed my cooking immensely! I never knew just how bad my old knife was. This Wusthoff is easy to handle and slices so cleanly and quickly with little effort. I love using this knife! It is definitely worth the price and then some. Thank you for this high quality product!

Amazing
January 8, 2010
I bought this for Christmas (from my husband to me) and the first time I used it, my whole world brightened. I cannot believe I ever cooked without this knife! Goes thru veggies like buttah....cuts prep time in half. I want to throw out all my other knives now. I hand wash it and put it right back in its box to be stored tenderly away from anything that might touch it, lol. This is my baby. :)

I love this knife. I have a 7" one also, but I leave this one out on my cutting board and use it most of the time. Very sharp and just a good size. Love it.

Great Gift
June 15, 2009
I bought this knife as a gift for my son. Cooking is his hobby and he makes everything from scratch. He used the knife for the first time last night and said he had never used a knife of this quality. He praised the balance of the knife, the sharpness of the blade, and the way the handle fit his hand. This knife was a great success as a gift. I knew it would be, however, because I own a Wusthof and I already knew the great quality of the product.
