I purchased this knife a little over a year ago and it has become my #1 go-to knife. I've used it so much that I think that it has become adjusted to my hand; sort of like an old kitchen 'friend'. I've had several knives over my many years of kitchen experience and this one is definitely the best. I like the balance when I'm slicing, dicing or chopping and am able to make even the thinnest slices to where I don't have to worry with setting up the food processor. The blade has remained sharp in spite of all the usage I've put it through. I make it a point to treat it well and with care and am certain that it will even outlast me. I highly recommend it to anyone considering purchasing a new knife.
Pros: Full tang, balanced, Value for Money, quality, easy to use, multi-purpose, Appearance/ Design /Style, Ergonomic handle, durability, Long-lasting, Forged, Weight

Review 5 for Wusthof Gourmet Hollow-Ground Santoku
I'm not much of a cook but after trying this knife, I was so impressed, that might change. The Wusthof Gourmet Santoku knife cuts and prepares vegetables so easily I actually bought one for all my friends as Christmas presents. With this knife I can chop, mince, and prepare like a pro. It's comfortable, well balanced, and so sharp it cuts cleanly and perfectly every time. I just have to wash it by hand which is a small price to pay to keep this knife perfect. I also learned from the Wusthof site the proper care of this and all good knives. Now they are stored on magnets, not in a drawer, and hand washed. Every time I replace a knife (or just want another) I buy Wusthof and am slowly getting a full set.

OK knife but not up to the Wusthof Classic

I didn't realize when I ordered this that it wasn't the replacement for my beloved Wusthof Classic Santoku. It's lighter, the kullens (indentations on the blade) are shallower and it just feels less substantial. It's probably a good value for money but I'm returning it (thank you for free returns) and ordering the $10 more expensive Classic.
Pros: balanced, Value for Money
Cons: weight

This knife cuts everything so well!! It's so much sharper that other kinds of knives. Great knife. The little hollows along the blade edge are a little hard to clean sometimes.

Sharp and Beautiful

AngieP
fromGeorgia
This knife is what I have been looking for. Wusthof is an excellent brand. The food does not stick to the side of the knife while chopping. I received the free santoku sharpener but have not used it yet. Not sure as to how often I need to do this, although, I understand that this brand stays sharp for quite a while. I would recommend it to everyone who likes to cook and is tired of blunt, cheap knives.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, balanced, construction, Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, Functional/Useful, Performs Well, quality, Value for Money

Absolutely Love It
PostedMarch 17, 2010
Diahanna
fromAtlantic Beach, North Carolina
I absolutely love using this knife, I look forward to pulling it out of my knife draw, I know that it sounds silly but it is true. It makes slicing anything easier, and the size is perfect for my hand size (smaller hands). The weight and balance is functional and allows the blade to glide with ease.
Now all I have to do is learn how to ssharpen as it is the first day I bought it, and I will be able to continue to use it daily forever.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, balanced, construction, durability, Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to store, Functional/Useful, Long-lasting, quality, size

Pretty Good Knife
PostedJanuary 12, 2010
BritDaughter
fromPhiladelphia, PA
I was really excited to get my first santoku knife. I bought this on sale with a free pair of scissors. It did come nicely sharp and does perform well. To be honest, though, I miss having the heft and weight in this knife that my other wusthof knives have. It is a full tang knife, but it doesn't go the full depth of the handle. So overall this performs well, but is not my favorite. Next time I'll probably go for a more expensive knife.
Pros: easy to use, Performs Well
Cons: Quality, weight

Thrilled with this knife!

fromWaverly, TN
I have been cooking for 40 years and have been increasingly disappointed with other "gourmet" knives I have purchased. The Wusthof 7" Hollow-Ground Santoku renders slicing and chopping of fruits and veggies a breeze. I would only caution you to be very careful with your fingers, as it is so sharp. The heft and weight add to its utility. This knife is such a pleasure to use that I actually seek out recipes that require more vegetable prep and feel great about eating more nutritiously!

I purchased this knife when I saw a chef use it on a show on one of the cooking channels. I purchased Wusthof because I have a set of their knives and love the quality. I have no idea how I managed cutting vegetable without this knife. I use it everyday and it works great for chopping.

I use this knife every day and don't know how I managed before I purchased it. I have had lots of knives, but Wusthof and particularly the hollow-ground santoku are my favorite. I will never again buy another brand of knife.

The Proverbial Hot Knife
PostedJanuary 16, 2009
AudioKitchen
fromMadison, WI
This knife will slice through your vegetables and meats like a hot knife through butter! The baffles release the slices from the knife making your prep time all about chopping and not about knocking the sticking pieces of carrot from the blade.
It has good balance and feels solid in the hand. The size makes it perfect for most of your basic food prep.
If you only own one knife this should be it!

A Real Workhorse!
PostedJanuary 8, 2009
I bought this knife because we are trying to eat more raw veggies and the reviews for this knife were good.
I was NOT disappointed. A real workhorse. Makes slicing and dicing a breeze - now I know how those cooks on tv make it look so easy - they have good "equipment"!
