[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife wasn’t on our wedding list, but we’re sure glad we received it! Super sharp with smooth, comfy handling
This shape is new to me. Its a hybrid of a regular Chefs knife and a traditional Santoku. The curved shape makes quick work of my chopping and mincing and the thin profile of the blade makes nice thin slices. I like the traditional Western style handle combined with the Japanese blade. The best of both worlds. The blade is very sharp and easy to maintain.
The Santoku is one of my favorite knives to use in the kitchen due to the versatility of the blade profile. You can use the santoku on meat, poultry and vegetables, and will find that it is easy work with the three-rivet handle which fits perfectly in the hand. This knife is sharp and will retain it sharpness due to the FC61 steel and the special ice-hardening process.
Super strong steel honed by hand in Seki...so razor sharp and tough. Hollow edge for preventing food sticking to blade and one of the most comfortable handles in the biz.
I love using santoku knives because I like the wider blade they have so that I can move more food from the cutting board to the pan at one time, but I also like the curve of a chef's knife, which is typically a western style knife, so it is easy to use a rocking/slicing motion and easy cut quickly and in one motion. This is a great compromise between those 2 styles and the handle is comfortable.
This is a really cool knife! I can use it like my chef knife because there is a decent curve to the blade but the back half of the blade is fairly flat for easy chopping. It had those lovely little hollow spots that release food easily. The handle on the evolution line is so elegant, can be used for left or right handed people and is very non slip as well. Great deal on a great new style knife!
I use this knife for everything. The knife is made from FC61 steel and ice Ice-hardened so the blade starts super sharp and stays sharper longer. The blade also has hollow edges so food moves away while you cut. This handle is a Western handle with 3 rivets - super comfortable especially for big prep jobs.
Beautiful twist of German made knives and Japanese crafted knives. It has the rocking motion of the German side with the Japanese style steel. It is sharp and versatile!
