Perfect balance and very sharp
on June 2, 2026

Really happy with this 7-inch santoku. The balance feels just right—not too heavy, not too light—so it’s comfortable to use even when prepping a lot of food.
The blade is very sharp. It goes through tomatoes, onions, and meat easily and makes clean, precise cuts without much effort. It also seems to hold its edge well with normal home use.
What I like most is the look and feel. The blade pattern and wooden handle look really nice in person, and it has that solid Japanese craftsmanship feel. The handle is comfortable to hold and feels stable, even for smaller hands. Overall, it’s a great everyday knife that also feels a bit special to use.

Beautiful, sharp, balanced

I went to the mall of America and happened to pop into this store and saw that they had authentic Japanese chef knives and I had been wanting one so bad but didn’t trust the websites online that I was looking at. I saw this knife and how beautiful it was and I just had to get it! The blade looks amazing and the handle is so comfortable to grip!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Feels Great

I was able to look at about a dozen knife options at William Sonoma and chose this one. It's lightweight, balanced, and feels almost like a natural extension of your hand. Also, if you're going to spend this much money, you may as well get something that looks like a work of art. The layered steel on the blade looks great. I'm told the greatest thing about these is that they retain their edge for a very long time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This will be my first big knife purchase as I have been wanting to invest in my kitchenware! And I am pleased to say how luxe This knife is! It has a decent weight to it but is also lightweight. I am super excited to see how it plays out!
