Fantastic well-balanced knife
By Dominic on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2020
I have a full set of Cutco knives, but do not have the Santoku blade. I bought this to replace a 5" Santoku knife that I had which was cheap and always needed sharpening. First off, I love the handle on this knife. It is a real Pakka wood handle and it is slightly wider/thicker than most handles. The thickness makes it much easier and more comfortable to use. Secondly, the German-made blade is extremely sharp and is made of thick stainless steel. The thickness of the steel makes for a very sharp edge that easily slices through the toughest meats and veggies. I used this knife to cut up a chuck roast for stew and it made the trimming effortless. Third, the balance between the handle and the blade is perfect. it feels comfortable to grip and can be used with only one hand. All in all, this is a well-made, nicely designed knife for a great price. Highly recommend.

Sharp, comfortable, well made, but won't stand straight in the block
By Eagle Eyes on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2020
I bought these for my mom. In her words, "you'd never know your old knives were bad, until you try a good sharp knife". She uses chef, santoku, utility, paring and bread knives and likes them. The problem is the blades are too wide for the old wood block, so I bought a universal block on Amazon with wide slots, but knives won't stand straight in the block because of the angled bolster. If you use a magnetic knife strip, it won't be a problem, but if you are looking to use these with a block, you may not like them.

I LOVE this knife!

This knife is exactly what I was looking for in a knife. A nice weight, and so sharp! Best of all, it is great for left handed people as well. That's hard to find in a knife. If you're left handed you know we're usually on the wrong side of the blade. lol. Perfect. That's what I'm calling this knife. Now if they will get a nice hefty paring knife to match, I'll be in knife heaven.
An okay knife

This is an average okay knife. The advantage of high carbon knives is that you can get them much sharper than stainless. The disadvantage is they discolor rather quickly. You can try to keep up with it with a lot of high maintenance or just let it discolor. I just let it go as I'm more interested in the sharpness than the looks. Balance is a little light in the back but otherwise a nice and function, super sharp knife.

I purchased whole set from the same company and I loved it so I decided to buy one more extra knife. Great quality and comfortable to use.
Cheap and not durable

This type of knife is to be used to cut through bone but when I used it to cut through chicken the blade dented. Honestly if you want a good chopping knife, pay for it…
