Wusthof Classic Hollow-Ground Santoku

Wusthof Classic Hollow-Ground Santoku : Similar to a butcher knife, the Japanese-style santoku knife is a multipurpose gem for slicing, cubing, or dicing. Available in 5" or 7", the distinctive hollow-ground edge that alternates scallops on both sides of the blade, and yields a smooth, clean cut. About Wusthof Classic: Precision-forged blades of Wusthof's own high-carbon, stain-resistant steel alloy, for a lasting edge that is easy to resharpen. Distinctive bolster prevents your hand from slipping onto the blade. Handle is a virtually indestructible composite, buffed by hand for a smooth finish and triple-riveted to the full tang for optimum strength and balance. Dishwasher safe, but hand-washing is recommended. Made in Solingen, Germany.

love my 7" Santoku January 4, 2008
biga22582 from Concord, CA

"I am a Pro chef and this is my most used knife at work and at home. It is easy to clean, has a well balanced shape for less fatigue on the hand and wrist, and the hollow ground edge lets one slice and chop without as much food sticking to the blade. (Especially good for raw potatoes) This knife and my serrated slicer are my favorites with my Classic 10" Chef's knife a close second. This knife will not disappoint."

Lovin it daily June 22, 2009
GrumpyOldMan from Tucson, Az

Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, balanced, Value for Money

"Knowing the quality of Wusthof, I didn't hesitate ordering the 7 inch. Upon the timely arrival of the knife, I had to check it out. The balance is perfect, the edge is definitely the best. Once again Wusthof comes through with outstanding quality.
Anyone considering new knives can rest assured, Wusthof is the best."

Excellent Knife January 18, 2009
Mills from Maine

Pros: comfortable, well balanced, near indestructable, wusthof warranty, perfect size for almost all tasks, not as exotic looking as other fancy knives
Cons: price, not as exotic looking as other fancy knives

"I've had these knives for years and bought them for many of my friends too. While i personally am not a big believer in the granton edge the knife itself is a great piece of cutlery. Its extremely well made, very well balanced, and they even come from the factory amazingly sharp. Although i have many other knives, I could happily get by for almost all tasks in the kitchen with these knives. They come with the legendary Wusthof warranty; when i once had a Wusthof break ago after years of use (probably misuse on my part), it was immediately replaced with no questions or hassle. While expensive, they last forever with proper care and sharpening, so well worth the price."

Lifesaver! January 9, 2009
barangrill from California

"I have a friend who loves to entertain but does not cook. Whe she hots a party I do the cooking at her house, and since her knives are substandard I have been hauling my knives to her house for years. So for Christmas this year, Santa brought my friend this wonderful set of Santoku knives. She loves them and so do I, and my knives get to stay home in my kitchen! Now if only I can teach her how to properly care for these babies...."

Superb knife January 8, 2009
joex from Ohio

Pros: extremely sharp and handy

"This knife is fantastic. The thin blade and hollow ground scallops make this knife great for slicing. The shape of the blade and balance make it a great all around knife. It is easily the most used knife in our kitchen."

Chop Like A PRO! January 8, 2009
GourmetCook from Eureka, MO

Pros: unbelievably easy to use

""I am a gourmet chef & entertainer & I received the 2 Wustof Classic Hollow-Ground Santoku knives as a gift from my husband. I use these knives exclusively when cooking & entertaining--they are light, well balanced, sharp & allows for easy chopping & cutting. Both knives are my "go to" tools when cooking. It allows me to prep ingredients like a Professional Chef--my knife skills aren't as fast as a Pro but these knives have revolutionized my life in the kitchen. I have personally recommended these 2 knives to family & friends and often purchase them as gifts. These knives will NEVER disappoint!""

Why use anything else? August 16, 2008
MizStewy from Honolulu, HI

"We've got the full Pampered Chef line of knives and since we bought the Wusthof 5" santoku, we don't use anything else unless the santoku is being washed. Slices easily through anything and nothing sticks to the blade - need to get the 7" for larger veggies!!"

My favorite knife June 19, 2008
hopp from Mystic, CT

"I gave my mom this knife for christmas and have heard nothing but raves since. In fact, she and my dad constantly fight over who uses it. Now I know why; I was recently given this knife and it has become my absolute favorite. It cuts so clean and easily - even tomatoes! Chopping ingrediants has gone from a chore to a pleasure. It feels perfectly balanced in my hand and always slices easily through whatever I am cutting. I have the smaller pairing knife too and it's an equal delight. My next set of knives will definately be Wusthof."

Great Knife March 20, 2008
Sophia from Boston, MA

"This knife has by far become one of my favorite knives in my collection. I use it for everything. I especially love it for cutting vegetables. Because of the hollow-ground edge items rarely stick to the knife. It makes easy work of raw vegetables. Cut extremely cleanly. It is nicely balanced."

Love This Knife! January 4, 2008
Writers from MN

"This knife is wonderful. It's lightweight, easy to handle and use, and slices cleanly. It holds an edge for a long time. This is my workhorse knife, and I use it constantly. I am 5' & small and this knife is perfect for me. My husband, who's 5'10" also enjoys using this knife. I'm a food writer and receipe developer, so I'm in the kitchen a lot."

Best Knife I have ever used November 30, 2007
Kgntry from Orlando, FL

"This is a superior knife in all regards. It maintains it's keen edge even in the harshest circumstance. A quick sharpening with a rod every 4 to 5 uses will keep it that way for a long time. I have used this knife for many different tasks and it works extremely well. My highest recommendation for this product. You will not be disappointed."

The only knife I use November 30, 2007
Lov2cook from Shawangunk, NY

"I purchased this knife a few months ago. I have never owned a wustoff knife. I find myself chopping everything with this knife. I no longer use my food processor because chopping is so easy with this knife. It is the best knife I have ever owned. I will be purchasing other wustoff knives in the near future."

My new favorite knife! November 10, 2007
Saffron from Kingston, GA

"I loved this knife from the moment I brought it home! I rarely use any of my other knives any more. It has a nice, sharp blade and is well balanced. It just feels great in my hand. I would recommend this knife to anyone looking for a great all purpose knife. It's perfect for slicing lemons, dicing onions, mincing garlic, or chopping herbs. You can't go wrong with this knife!"
