Amazon.com Review
The Japanese version of the chef's knife, the santoku is useful for straight chopping, mincing, and slicing of larger quantities of vegetables and meat. Cooks with smaller hands may prefer this 7-inch blade as the shorter length offers better control while cutting. The width also provides a great platform for transporting chopped vegetables from cutting board to sauté pan. This version of the santoku actually has a hollow edge or oval cut-outs along the blade. The benefit to this blade style is that cooks can cut paper-thin slices and individual slices won't stick to the blade.

Part of the Four Star series of cutlery, this santoku has a fully forged high-carbon stainless-steel blade. The blade, bolster, and tang are welded of one piece of metal using Henckels's Sinter Metal Component Technology, which distributes the right quantities of metal to each part of the knife. The result is a longer-lasting edge and a more consistent angle on the blade. The blade has also undergone Henckels's Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens it and protects it from discoloration. The black polypropelene handle offers a secure and comfortable grip and is hygienically attached so there are no gaps between the handle and blade for food to become trapped. This santoku should be hand washed and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

4 out of 5 stars Good Kitchen Chopping Knife   February 24, 2008
This is a great knife for chopping and mincing. The knife is well balanced, and is made of good steel, like all other Four Star knives. The rocking motion with the blade is very natural and easy to learn, in comparison to the standard chef's knife. In addition, the long, flat blade is excellent for scooping the chopped material up.

The steel in the Four Star series is very good at holding an edge (compare to the Rachael Ray/Furi reviews) My older knives are used a great deal and have kept very good edges, two or three strokes on the steel and they are good to go. Out of the box, the edge is like a razor.

The Four Star series is good for people with large hands. If you have smaller hands, the Pro-S knives are the same steel with a smaller handle.

Four Star knives have a solid well balanced feel. I am not sure the five inch version would achieve the same cutting in this style. Not flashy, but a good solid kitchen knife. I think this may replace my chef's knife as my primary tool.



5 out of 5 stars High quality forged stainless   January 21, 2008
I have owned a set of four star Henckels knives for more than a decade and bought this Santoku to complement the set. All of the knives have been used multiple times daily and performed well with basic care including hand washing, hand drying, and approximately monthly dates with a matching sharpening steel.
Advantages of the Santoku over my chef's knife are the ability to chop large vegetables while maintaining good control over the wide blade and the hollow ground surface easily releases foods that would otherwise stick to the blade.
I still prefer the chef's knife for chopping smaller things, like herbs, where the deeper drop angle to the point allows more rocking motion.
This knife has the same high quality as the rest of my set and I anticipate that it, along with the others, will be part of my kitchen for a lifetime.



1 out of 5 stars amazingly poor quality   August 27, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

We got this knife as a part of a large set to replace our Henckels TwinStar set that got dull to the point of being unusable and could not be honed. After a little more than a month of light use the blade cracked! Mind you, we've life-long owners of fine quality knives, they're carefully hand-washed and dried immediately, so there's no abuse on our part. Of course since it was purchased a little over a month ago Amazon won't take it back for exchange, so we're stuck dealing with the manufacturer and paying money to ship it back for "inspection" before they even consider getting it replaced. What a joke. I expected better from Henckels, I guess i'll be going with Shun for the next set.


5 out of 5 stars 5 stars for a 4 star knife   February 25, 2007
this thing is sharp and worth the money.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Knife and the One Most Used in the Kitchen   February 11, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We have been using the Four Star Santoku knife, as well as five other Henckels Four Star knives, for over a year.

Pros - All hold a sharp edge, have good balance, are light weight, have a comfortable grip, and sharpen easily.

Cons - Should be hand washed (if hand washing is an issue for you)

Overall - The Henckels Four Star knives are high quality cutlery. And, the Santoku style chef knife has replaced our regular style chef knife as the most often used knife in the kitchen
