Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The super-sharp 7-inch cutting edge and ergonomic handle make this a top-notch cleaver. Forged in Solingen, Germany, of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for edge retention, rust-resistance, and durability, this knife handles almost any chopping job in the kitchen--whether vegetables or meat and poultry bones and joints--and is perfect for the cook partial to Chinese-style knives.
When it is finally time to sharpen the sturdy blade, worry not, for it lends itself well to both a sharpening stone and steel. Once you've achieved the edge you want, a few quick sweeps along a steel each time you use the knife should keep the edge in fine condition. The ergonomic polypropylene handle lies comfortably in your hand, facilitating strain-free use; the metal bolster acts as a finger-guard; and the blade, bolster, and tang are fused into a seamless piece for easy handling and balance. The absence of rivets and recesses in the synthetic handle allows for dishwasher use. Finally! Still, the best way to care for this cleaver is to hand wash it with a mild soap, rinse it well, and then immediately wipe it dry. --Marcela Broussard

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
TWIN® Five Star knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, TWIN® Five Star knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness.

Favorite knife in my drawer.,
By A Customer
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife (Kitchen)
I have a set of Sabatier knives and bought this Henkel to augment that. I now rarely grab my Chef's knife (the former workhorse). This Santoku styled knife (which I believe is technically Japanese in style rather than Chinese) is do-everything, go-everywhere kind of knife. As I say, I use this knife almost exclusively now. It is a pleasure in the hand, well balanced, and easily moved about. The blade is damned sharp and has been easily kept so. Where this performer really shines is in chopping: the blade dances around the cutting board with minimal effort and maximum effect. If you are new to knives, you might consider getting just this and a couple of paring knives (and a bread knife, but for bread I usually go cheep and serated). If you have a complete set already, take this next step and discover a new dimension in cuttlery.

PROFESSIONAL CHEF RATES HENKELS 7 INCH SANTOKU BLADE,
By "eddieray" (SEATTLE, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife (Kitchen)
With over 26 years of practical experience in professional kitchens, as an Executive Chef, and Corporate Chef, I have used many knives. About four years ago I purchased this knife, and it instantly became my favorite. From its balance, to it's high quality edge holding Solingen German steel blade, I always find myself picking this little sweetie over my former favorite, Wusthof 8 inch Chef knife. Don't get me wrong I still love my Wusthof, but the santoku has become a part of my hand. If this knife lacks anything, it could be stamped from a thicker piece of steel, for more heft, but then it would no longer be a true Santoku. Two small calouses on my hand attest to how much I use this, my most valuable tool! Chef Eddie Ray Chapter

Excellent knife for Asian!,
By Belladonna Le Femme (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife (Kitchen)
I'm head over heels for the Henckels 5-star line & this knife is perfect for speed chopping rough & bias cut veggies & meat for Asian. The weight & balance is great. I like to process all the ingredients in bulk on the weekend & then cook the indiviual meals fresh throughout the week. I never get fatigued using this knife for lengthly chopping sessions. The knife holds an edge very well like all high end Henckels. This knife is head & shoulders above other less expensive santoku knives I've used in feel & performance.
