I was looking into purchasing a chef's knife, but I cam across santoku knives and decided to go with this one instead. I think I made the right choice because I love how wide the blade is so that it is easy to move food from the cutting board to the pan with the wide blade and the ovals on the sides make it so that the food doesn't get stuck to the blade. I also love that the handle is super comfortable.
Forged from the best German stainless, this santoku is super-sharp right out of box...and stays that way! No stain steel keeps it looking like new for a long time.
This is a very balanced santoku. I love that it has the hollow edge. Food doesn't seem to stick at all, and falls right off while I am chopping. It is very sharp, and cuts very easily.
I have had santokus before and enjoyed the way that they cut and chopped food. The flat blade makes cutting large piles easy and consistent. I really like this one in particular because of the weight, it is heavy enough that i don't feel like I'm doing most of the work. I can chop stalkier foods, that would normally require a little more pressure, with the same effort that I can cut softer items. all in all worth the money.
This is a 7 inch length which is a very comfortable size for chopping. The Professional S has all the qualities you look for nwhen purchasing a premium knife...made with specially formulated German steel which is corrosion resistant it goes through Zwillings Sigmaforge and Friodur ice hardening processes. These processes ensure your blade is flexible, chip and crack resistant and stays sharper longer. The hollow pockets along the edge help food from sticking to the blade as you slice.
I never enjoyed the task of chopping an onion. Too many tears and it usually turned into a messy pile of unven shapes and sizes. With a little guidance from utube and this incredibly sharp santoku, I've mastered the task. The razor sharp edge slices through an onion or any vegetable with the greatest of ease. The "dimples" help keep food from sticking to the blade. This is a slightly heavy knife, which I love, because the knife does the work for you. Great balance and the handle fits securely in my hand, no slipping.
For those of us who dread a recipe that requires lots of chopping and dicing of vegetables this is the knife for us. Made in Germany from premium German Steel thats been ice-hardened for longer edge retention this knife makes the chore of chopping and dicing a lot more enjoyable.
This is a perfect length for someone who's looking for not so small or not so big on their hand, at the same time you'll have perfect control for the knife. Comfortable and balanced size, will quickly become the go-to knife for everyday tasks. It's the most easiest to sharpen, it has a unique blade shape and ergonomic bolster. Whether chopping, slicing, or dicing, the broad blade are comfortable in the hand. This can is a vegetable knife, large fruit knife, and a meat knife as well.
