The Four Star 5” Hollow Edge Santoku has s sharp edge near the handle. It’s easy to have your hand slip down on this sharp edge. Your other chef knives have a thicker metal edge to prevent injury.

Thank you for your feedback on our high-quality Santoku knife.
The streamlined blade profile is intentionally engineered to maximize the cutting surface for precision chopping, and using a professional "pinch grip" will provide maximum control and stability.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is beautiful, well made, and makes such a difference. After using cheap terrible knives, we are so glad to have a high quality produce.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife has become my main knife. Holds a fantastic edge. I use my knives. They are not for show. I sharpen this knife after 2 months of use and just home the blade on between. I love the small round handle for a comfortable grip and this is a beautiful knife all around. You won’t regret getting this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little addition for cutting smaller fruits and vegetables. My “go-to” for breakfast prep, also good for slicing sandwiches for the little ones.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are 8 knifes in our home. Since I purchased this knife, it’s the only one me and my family are using. Very versatile and makes me love cooking, so easy and frustration free!
