J.A. HenckelsHENCKELS International Graphite 5" Hollow Edge Santoku

Very nice knives at a great price

I got these for my Son in law that cooks at a country club. He needed affordable quality knives that are easy to care for. He really likes this Santoku and uses it daily to prep vegetables. He says it works great, feels nice and well balanced and is light enough to use for long periods of time.

Great purchase

Great knife for the price! Sharp and easy to handle while slicing.

Sharp, Comfortable and affordable

This knife is very comfortable to hold and is extremely sharp. I believe it is well worth the money to have in your kitchen. I have not had it for long so I do not know how long it will keep its edge.

Love a good veggie knife

Perfect size and sharpness for smaller fruits and vegetables. The "dimples" keep the food from sticking to the blade. It's a forged knife, so it's definitely going to hold its edge really well, plus it gives it great weight and balance. Very sleek and modern!

Need this Knife

Made from German stainless steel, this knife serves a unique purpose in the kitchen. Perfect knife to use chop herbs, vegetables and fruits; the air pockets on the blade allow the product to slide easily off the knife versus stacking up on the blade. Ergonomically designed handle lets you use this knife for a long period of time without tiring and stressing your wrist and arm.

perfect prep

I love this knife. The design is beautiful. The solid stainless steel design is very sleek and modern. The handle is very comfortable to hold and lighter than expected. The blade is very sharp and easy to maintain. The size is perfect for my vegetable and herb prep. The Japanese blade design is prefect for chopping and slicing with ease. The slim blade profile and acute angle allows for precise cutting with very little waste.

Small Chef Knife

Wanted a smaller sized knife that I can use for my everyday knife. Decided to try this 5" Santoku. Love the size, and also find it to be sharper than my traditional chef knife. The hollow edges prevent food from sticking to edge when cutting. The knife has a good weight to it, but is light enough to prevent hand fatigue. Liked it so much I purchased pne for my daughter in law, and she loves it too.

I really like my santoku and use it as much as I use my chef knife in the kitchen. If you have not used a santoku, you can use it on meat, poultry and vegetables, and the hollowed out edge, called grantons, creates an air pocket keeping the food from sticking to the blade. I like the wider blade on the santoku and use it to scoop up what i have just chopped to transfer to the pan for cooking or sauteing. The handle is ergonomic and very comfortable, which means fatigue-free slicing, dicing and chopping.
