This is a new Wusthof knife. I never saw a need for a Santuko so never bought one, but thought this knife would fit a niche and bought it. A great knife! Very sharp, VERY SHARP, and easy to maintain. It is useful for virtually all I use a chef's knife for except the larger items and the items requiring a lot of slicing and dicing, when the rocker in the chef's knife is handy.
But otherwise this knife will do everything. It is particularly good for fine slices of tomatoes and other vegetables. I also use it to thinly slice beef and pork.
This knife fits in between my large chef's knife and a small chef's knife. I find myself using this more than the small chef's knife now.
Finally, CHEF'S had this knife and none of the other large shops had it. And CHEF'S had it at a great price too!

Review 2 for Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Nakiri, 7-in.
Although I own several types of chef's knives, I decided to give this one a try. It is now my standard. I love the balanced heft and wide blade. It makes slicing and chopping so much easier and faster than my standard chef's knives.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, balanced, construction, Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, Full tang, Functional/Useful, Performs Well, quality, Value for Money, safer to use

This knife speeds up your typical cutting and chopping needs. Balance is particularly nice and holds an edge longer than some of my other knives. It is a welcome addition to my other knives.

After deliberating for a long time, I decided to bite the bullet and splurge on this knife. The only negative is that I missed the ease, balance and sharpness of this knife for too many years. I absolutely love it!

What a difference

i have long known the value of having high-quality knives in the kitchen. A good knife makes all the difference in proper technique and enjoyment of food preparation. Still, I wasn't ready for this blade. It is so thin and so sharp, it's almost like a new experience. If you need to slice something really thinly, this is the blade. And it's great for everyday slicing and chopping. I only wish I had gotten this blade 10 years ago.

What can I say? It cuts through anything like butter. I first used it on spaghetti squash, which can be quite ornery. This knife got through its tough skin and stringy innards like a champ. It was such a great price, and I know I'll continue to use it daily in my kitchen. If you're toying with the idea of purchasing it, ponder no further, take the plunge. You'll be glad you did!

Just got this knife last week and I use it every day. It allows me to cut very thin slices and just feels good in my hand. Great value for the cost!

This chef's knife was featured in a blog recipe, and was highly recommended. We already had a chef's knife, but it wasn't outstanding.
I'm glad I decided to buy this knife - it's light, feels comfortable in the hand, and does a great job of slicing/chopping/cutting - whatever you need it to do. It allows for both improved precision and improved speed from our old generic chef's knife (which, sadly, is now at the back of a drawer).
If you need a solid all purpose chef's knife this is the knife for you.
