Henckels Graphite 5-inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

I got these for my Son in law that cooks at a country club. He needed affordable quality knives that are easy to care for. He really likes this Santoku and uses it daily to prep vegetables. He says it works great, feels nice and well balanced and is light enough to use for long periods of time.

This knife is very comfortable to hold and is extremely sharp. I believe it is well worth the money to have in your kitchen. I have not had it for long so I do not know how long it will keep its edge.

Great knife for the price! Sharp and easy to handle while slicing.

Love this knife - very sharp and useful for so many kitchen things. Not heavy to use and perfect size.

Bought this to go with my 5-star set. Very close match. Great tool to have!

The Graphite series of knives are forged from high quality stainless steel and allow you to get a nice forged knife at a value price. This knife is really sharp and the handle is comfortable. Because it is completely stainless steel it is easy to clean and dry. The Santoku style blade is really nice for chopping vegetables.

This is a great knife for chopping fruits and vegetables. The Asian blade style is thin, sharp and durable. Excellent weight and size for ease in chopping. I use this for tear free onion slicing! It's perfect for smashing and mincing garlic and ginger. The contour handle is comfortable to hold.

I really like my santoku and use it as much as I use my chef knife in the kitchen. If you have not used a santoku, you can use it on meat, poultry and vegetables, and the hollowed out edge, called grantons, creates an air pocket keeping the food from sticking to the blade. I like the wider blade on the santoku and use it to scoop up what i have just chopped to transfer to the pan for cooking or sauteing. The handle is ergonomic and very comfortable, which means fatigue-free slicing, dicing and chopping.

Perfect size and sharpness for smaller fruits and vegetables. The "dimples" keep the food from sticking to the blade. It's a forged knife, so it's definitely going to hold its edge really well, plus it gives it great weight and balance. Very sleek and modern!
