Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Create culinary masterpieces in your home with this professional-quality, two-piece Santoku knife set from Anolon. Styled after the classic Japanese cook's knife, the 7-inch Santoku knife has broad blade and especially sharp cutting edge as well as indentations that minimize friction and sticking. It's a great companion for mincing, slicing, and dicing a variety of ingredients, and it's complemented by a smaller 5-inch Santoku for more precise cuts as well as paring jobs.

The perfect composition of high quality German carbon steel ensures the blade stays sharp and is stain and rust resistant. The ice-hardened steel is superior since the harder steel makes a stronger blade that will hold its sharp edge longer. Thick bolsters add durability and balance ensuring precision and control. A protective sheath is included for safe storage. Hand wash only. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

I loved these knives when I got them. They had excellent balance and felt great. They looked really cool, and I was very happy, until.....

Less than a month after owning them, I was using the 7-inch to slice an apple. I wasn't doing anything crazy with it, nor had I in the past. The apple was on a plastic cutting board, and as the knife went through the apple, the blade shattered! I was shocked, because I hadn't put any extraordinary pressure on the knife. After this happened, I looked at the 5-inch, and I could see a slight crack in the same place on that knife. So it doesn't appear to be an isolated incident!

I'm sad, but I guess I'll go with a more trusted brand next time.

Good weight and balance. No sharp creases between blade and handle makes them a cinch to clean. Nicely defined tang prevents accidents. I'm glad I did the research because it paid off.
