This knife has grantons (hollow spots) ground on only one side of the blade -- the side that shows in the packaging. The flat side sticks like any non-granton blade. The blade is also a bit thick for a santoku, more like a 7-inch forged chefs knife.

Very sharp knife with a nice large handle which I like. Problem is that the hollow edge is on only one side and is on the Lt. side which makes it useless if you are Rt. Handed. Overall the knife is sturdy and comfortable for my large hands. I don't feel like I have to rest my fingers ontop of the blade at and the the handle curves nicely for a comfortable grip.

I purchased both the 5 and 7" knives at the same time. Though I use the 5" knife everyday the 7" is weighted prroperly. Using serrated style for sometime this flat edge is the better choice. Not being an expert at this, I believe all one needs is the 5,6 & 7" hollow edge and maybe the bread knife to have a complete kitchen arsenal.
And after reading about the fragile knife point I'm very pleased.
If the edges stay as they should I might end up with the full set.
Great price...Great product.

This is the first and only knife I bought in my entire life. I have developed a passion for cooking during the last 6 months, and I hated the knifes that we had at home, because they weren't good enough. So I decided to go with this henckels. It's a good beginning. Something more expensive for someone that's just starting to cook, wouldn't be appropriate. This knife is sharp! It is a little heavy, but you get use to it.

I couldn't be any happier... the best $28 I have invested on my way to become the first Colombian Iron Chef!

The Henckel knife was as described and very useful out of the box sharpness. Small problem with shipping. Hopefully, only a oddball event.

I found this knife to be a great value and an excellent tool in the kitchen. The handle feels right in your hand and provides great control as you work through food.

I'd bought this as a gift for Christmas, and sent a link to a friend to show her what I'd ordered - and she bought one for me!

It's great. It feels weighty in the hand, well balanced, but not too heavy. Sharp as all get out. I have a couple of other santoku knives, but they are nowhere near the quality of this one. It's become my favorite go-to knife for everything since I received it. The others feel like I'm chopping with a rolling pin, now.

Very, very happy.

This knife is a good weight and is extremely sharp, in a word, flawless. Is there anything else you need from a review for a Henckels Santoku?

Wonderful knife for it's price. Nowhere a professional one, but a perfect buy for inhome use.

This knife is the best! Nicely weighted, comfortable to use, good grade stainless and very sleek. This one I'd recommend for any cook.
