Incredibly sharp and smooth

The knife cuts just about everything like cutting through foam. This includes hard, crusty bread and somewhat soft tomatoes. It cleans easily. But, one must be very careful handling the knife because of the sharpness.
In the kitchen, I'm never without: an ultra sharp knife

This is a great knife for a relative beginner. After having used it for some time I am wishing that I had bought a chefs knife.

Henckels Pro S Santoku Knife

I purchased the 7" Henckels Pro S Santoku Knife and was so pleased with it that I purchased the 5". It is a very versatile knife that can be used on many different foods. If I could have just one knife this would be it.
Pros: sharp and works on a variety of foods, food does not tend to stick on knife
Cons: none so far

Good Knife, but You Can Do Better

The knife is sharp and keeps and edge well. I found the knife to be too light, and didn't like the balance. The blade also felt ferry thin to me, which probably added to the lightness of the knife. In addition, I wasn't a huge fan of the handle. There are other knives that have handles which conform to your hand better and are just as sharp, if not sharper. I've tried two Henkle Pro-S knives and a couple of CutCo knives (which are heavier and conform to your hand). In the end, I didn't get any more Henkle knives and bought CutCo instead. However, if you're looking for a lighter knife and you don't care about the handle, then this is a good knife for you.
Also, I find my chef's knife to be far more useful than my santoku. In fact, I haven't really found a situation where the santoku excells above my other knives. So you may want to consider getting other types of knives instead.
Pros: sharp, good construction, light (if you like that)
Cons: too light (if you don't like that), handle doesn't conform to hand, not one of the more useful types of knives

The Pro S line is really nice and this is a great all purpose knife. I never feel like it's too big for a job and it makes quick work of things. Great quality.
