Product Description
The name means "three benefits" in Japanese, and you'll find at least that many good uses for the sturdy 7-in. Santoku Knife by J.A. Henckels. It's an all-purpose tool that's great for mincing, dicing and slicing.Over 260 years ago, the J. A. Henckels company was founded in Germany with a commitment to manufacturing only top-of-the-line cutlery. Today, the company is known the world over for its dedication to superior craftsmanship and quality. The stain-resistant, full-tang knives feature the company's FRIODUR ice-hardened, high-carbon stainless steel blades, crafted to hold their precise edges for a long time. The easy-to-hold handle is securely connected with 3 rivets, and is break-proof and colorfast.

Amazon.com Review
Many chefs are choosing the santoku over the chef's knife as their primary chopping knife. Traditionally used by Japanese chefs, the santoku chops and slices with a straight rather than a rocking motion and offers the benefits of a cleaver with the manageability of a lighter knife. As part of Henckels's Gourmet series of knives, this santoku has a stamped, high-carbon stainless-steel blade that is laser-sharpened for a longer-lasting edge and put through the Friodur ice-hardening process for additional strength. From blade tip to tang, the knife is composed of a single piece of metal for sturdiness and is tightly secured to the hygienic polypropylene handle with three rivets. Henckels Gourmet knives are covered under a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

5 out of 5 stars Excellent knife   April 3, 2007
My review is simple -- this knife is great. It takes and holds an edge very well. If anyone says this knife is not sharp or does not stay sharp, they need to learn how to sharpen a knife properly; I've been able to slice tomatoes like they were air.

I've owned this for 4 years and I anticipate it will be in my knife block for years to come.

To show I'm not entirely deluded, I'll be picky for a moment to point out the handle can get slippery. However properly holding the knife will prevent this from being an issue (oh... and using a towel...).

This is the best knife for chopping that I have ever used. It is so sharp that it takes some getting used to in order not to injury yourself while using it. Love the product.


4 out of 5 stars Ouch.. I just cut myself..   January 16, 2007
.. on this super sharp knife! It's a great knife with good balance. Not sure if I'd prefer one of those scalloped blades, as food does stick to the sides a lot.


4 out of 5 stars Nice knife...   January 4, 2007
easy to handle and great in my kitchen. If I could only have one knife it would be a Santoku. This knife is what I would refer to as middle of the road in weight and quality, but still nice. I've used it for over a year and am looking to get it resharpened. I will be upgrading to a better one soon and leave this one for onions only. Onions really dull a knife quickly.


3 out of 5 stars Look Closely At The Blade   November 18, 2005
 13 out of 13 found this review helpful

Since all the santoku knives I've seen lately have the scalloped recessions, which helps keep food from sticking to the blade, I automatically assumed this one had them. But you REALLY need to look at the larger photo. You'll find that this knife lacks them. I only looked at the thumbnail and feel more the fool now.

I gave it a three because it feels good in my hand and was nice and sharp out of the box. But food definitely sticks to its sides.

Now I don't know that the scalloped recessions actually work as well as many claim, but I'd have liked to find out. I still have to hold certain foods to make sure they stay on the chopping board and don't come up/back with the knife. If they do work, I'd have really liked to have them.

It's a nice knife overall, but caveat emptor. Look closely at the photos to make sure you're getting what you expect.
