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.

saxman
fromNew York, NY
I've bought two of these and this is a great knive for the price. This is my everyday knife. It can be used for meat or vegetables. It is easily resharpened and stays sharp for a good period of time. I even put it in the dishwasher which is not generally recommended for quality knives such as this.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, balanced, construction, durability, Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, multi-purpose, Non-slip handle, quality, Value for Money, Weight

Review 5 for Wusthof Classic Hollow-Ground Santoku
MaggiesMom
fromVirginia
This is, by far, the best knife I've ever owned. I first bought the 7" knife and was so pleased with it that I bought the 5" one. I then ordered one of each for both my son and daughter. I've since found that my favorite of the two is the 5" size. It's the knife I reach for when I want to chop vegetables or slice roasts and turkey. I highly recommend it!!!

The balance of any Classic series knife is still my favorite. Add in the versatility of the Santoku and result is a piece of kitchen art.

barangrill
fromCalifornia
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....

GourmetCook
fromEureka, MO
"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!"
Pros: unbelievably easy to use

Review 10 for Wusthof Classic Hollow-Ground Santoku
hopp
fromMystic, 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.

Review 11 for Wusthof Classic Hollow-Ground Santoku
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.

When I'm in the Kitchen, I become: Leftover Lover
Over the years, I have built a pretty decent collection of Wusthof knives. But I didn't have a santoku. So I bought a cheap one to see if I liked the concept, and I did. Then I upgraded to the Wusthof Classic. A blurb on the box said it was super sharp. Hot air? No, it actually is.
