If anyone says this knife is not sharp or does not stay sharp, they need to learn how to sharpen a knife properly; I've been able to slice tomatoes like they were air.I've owned this for 4 years and I anticipate it will be in my knife block for years to come.To show I'm not entirely deluded, I'll be picky for a moment to point out the handle can get slippery. My review is simple -- this knife is great. It takes and holds an edge very well. However properly holding the knife will prevent this from being an issue (oh. and using a towel.).
This is the best knife for chopping that I have ever used. It is so sharp that it takes some getting used to in order not to injury yourself while using it. Love the product.
. on this super sharp knife. It's a great knife with good balance. Not sure if I'd prefer one of those scalloped blades, as food does stick to the sides a lot.
easy to handle and great in my kitchen. I've used it for over a year and am looking to get it resharpened. If I could only have one knife it would be a Santoku. This knife is what I would refer to as middle of the road in weight and quality, but still nice. I will be upgrading to a better one soon and leave this one for onions only. Onions really dull a knife quickly.
But food definitely sticks to its sides.Now I don't know that the scalloped recessions actually work as well as many claim, but I'd have liked to find out. But you REALLY need to look at the larger photo. Since all the santoku knives I've seen lately have the scalloped recessions, which helps keep food from sticking to the blade, I automatically assumed this one had them. I still have to hold certain foods to make sure they stay on the chopping board and don't come up/back with the knife. You'll find that this knife lacks them. I only looked at the thumbnail and feel more the fool now.I gave it a three because it feels good in my hand and was nice and sharp out of the box. If they do work, I'd have really liked to have them.It's a nice knife overall, but caveat emptor. Look closely at the photos to make sure you're getting what you expect.
