Santoku Knife

Two years on, this is probably the best general purpose kitchen knife I've ever used. Still razor sharp after just a couple of swipes along the sharpening steel. Cuts meat without effort. Slices tomatoes without squashing them. Comfortable to hold. Beautifully smooth ergonomic handle. It's a pleasure to use. Far superior to another low price "Sabatier" knife that I brought recently.

Smaller than expected, never the less, a good knife

Sharp with a nice balance and comfortable feel in the hand.

I bought this on a whim to make life chopping vegetables and trimming fish a little easier (as I'd read the knife was good for that). It is the expected high quality you'd expect from Sabatier. It was smaller than I expected. With only a 5" blade it feels more like a long parring knife than something more weildy like a Chef's knife. But, it is actually pretty versatile and I've ended up using it for nearly everything! (It even does a good job slicing cheese!) It has a good weight and balance to it, and feels comfortable to use. For a large cut of meat, I still reach for my larger Chef's knife but for anything else I prefer this to all the rest of the options in my knife block! I'm tempted to buy a longer version too (7"-8") to complement it.

Good knife for the price. It blunts very quickly but a better steel is going to cost a lot more. Does a decent job as a kitchen utility knife with frequent sharpening.

My go-to knife: great balance, weight and size

A very nice knife - but its really only for slicing not chopping - if that's what you need then its perfect - otherwise pick a traditional chef-knife shape.

This knife is well designed and cuts beautifully. For the price it’s incredible value. It’s comfortable to use but the handle is a little short for perfect leverage but it is well balanced with the length and weight of the blade. I have noticed some rust if left to dry in the drainer, so I would recommend drying immediately to take care of this excellent santoku
