Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, (7-in.)

I hope this is great as I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I was surprised when it came - this little 7 inch knife was in a box that was HUGE! I have not opened it and I'm sure it's full of styrofoam peanuts, which cannot be recycled. BTW - I have a Calphalon santoku knife which is half the price; I love my knife!

I love this knife!

The only complaint I have is that this knife could be balanced a little better. It cuts really nice and has a great fit to my hand. It is my new favorite kitchen tool!

Very sharp knife that cuts effortlessly. Food doesn't stick either which is a big plus. This has become my "go to" knife.

Incredible Knife!

I've owned and loved using some Henckel paring knives and a Henckel large bread slicing knife for a long time. When I saw this knife available at such a discounted price, I just had to try it. I'm so glad I did - it's a FANTASTIC knife!!! It's super sharp and easy to handle - very well balanced. I'd recommend this knife to anyone who cares about using a well-made, high quality knife.

Great knife

This is our second of this particular knife.
After the first one becoming our favorite in the entire house, my wife and I had to get another so we could both have one since we cook together most of the time.

What a cool knife!

I love this knife! The dimples on the edge keep slices of meat from sticking to the blade, making it easier to slice.

Henckels 7in Santoku

Fantastic knife. We bought our set of Henels in Germany and have adde when a new product we needed came out. The santoku fit that bill. I checked prices in Germany and cooking.com beat them all for the same knife. When we got it, we found we had underestimated how good it was. THIS IS A MUST FOR A KITCHEN WHERE YOU STILL COOK!!!

Outstanding Knife

I have many knives in my kitchen, some purchased as sets, others bought individually for a particular function. Unequivocally this is one of the best designed and constructed knives as well as being versatile. Clearly, given its size and structure it doesn't do everything. However it cuts vegetables effortlessly and quickly. It cuts through fish cleanly and through large pieces of meat without tearing the flesh. The sharp blade lets me mince delicate herbs quickly. And I love how comfortably it fits in my hand. There is plenty of room to wrap my fingers around the handle without rapping my knuckles when I'm cutting.

My only dilemma: it's now my husband's go-to knife as well. Very soon I'll have to purchase a second Santuko so I don't have to hide this one.

as i have watched the chefs and cooks on the food network shows that i love to watch, i have admired this knife. was finally able to purchase one and cant stop using it. absolutely love it.

great knife, does the job with hardly any effort

A great product

I have tried this knife on everything from fresh bread to thinly sliced tomatoes to a tough piece of raw beef to hard boiled eggs and on and on. It goes through everything like a power saw. Virtually no effort is needed. If you want a very good all-purpose knife, this is it. 'Nuf sed!

Great Knife

This is a great knife, I recommend it for every kitchen!!

7-in. Hollow Edge Santoku Knife by Henckels

Extra, almost TOO, sharp (and that is saying something for me!) blade. Extremely comfortable handle.

Santoku knife

I just love this knife! I use it for just about everything!

I had been wanting a knife of this style for some time and when I saw this J. A. Henckels knife on this sight for a great price, I knew it was the time to buy. The knife is the quality I was expecting as I have several other knives by the same maker. The different blade shape takes a little to get used to but in short time you are working with it like a pro. I think the hollow edge feature has more to do with looks than keeping the stuff you are working on from sticking to the blade but perhaps it actually works better keeping some types of food off the blade than others. The 7" size fit nicely in between the two other kitchen knives that I use routinely. And, as one would expect, the knife came with a perfect cutting edge. I finally sent out my other 3 favorite knives for professional sharpening after using this knife for just a few days when I realized what a truly sharp blade cuts like. I had only been keeping their edge with a steel before each use for years. It's a great chop knife for now until I get a little more used to it. I hold it very forward of the grip with only 2/3 of my hand on the handle and my thumb and forefinger on the sides of the top of the actual blade. I think this helps with lifting the blade off of the cutting surface as the blade has a much flatter profile that the standard chefs knives I've gotten used to and use more of a rocking motion with. All of this means that I really like this knife and look for every opportunity to pull it out of the block and use it. I had to kick an extra 8" chefs knife out of the block to make room for it. If you are serious about your kitchen tools, you shouldn't be disappointed with this knife in any way.

Food network store has great prices for high quality products.

Santoku knife

This knife is incredibly sharp! I just have to gently move it through vegetables and meats I want to cut. Does slicing and dicing very easily.

Love this knife

I love this knife. I have large hands and it fits me perfectly. I use it all the time. It has kept its edge so far, but I have been very good about rinsing it off after I use it. I have not bought a knife in ages because I have great knives already (Sabatier) but I had seen and heard about these with the scalloped edge or whatever it is called and thought I would try it.

Only Knife to Buy

Love my Henckels. Would not buy any other knife set. Have had knives for years and just added this one. Very sharp and cuts like butter...

Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

The knife is very sharp and cuts well. However, the hollow edge does not keep some foods - soft cheese, avocado, etc. - from sticking to the blade. I would recommend it to my friends.
