I shopped for months because I hate to spend big bucks on things that are likely to get dropped, mangled, or otherwise misused (big family). Picked this knife because the handle let me rock & chop without striking my knuckles. Probably the other Twin handles would perform just as well in that regard, but I've come to love the whole-silver look, and bought a fillet knife as well. At first I wanted a hollow-edge, but at the time none were available, so I settled for the plain - haven't noticed much difference with food sticking, and haven't regretted 'settling' - though when I add a smaller chef's or santoku I'll look for the hollow edge just to have the different blade. Excellent knife - and got it at a great price because I scavenged.

Attractive appearance. Perfectly sharp out of the box. My one complaint is that it does not come with a plastic sleeve to protect both the blade and the person opening the box.

Be it chicken or some other meat product, nothing chops better than this Santoku cleaver. I love it - very handy to have.

My husband just came out to start cooking, pulled out this knife (we own all the twin select series knives) only to find 4 (yes FOUR!!) huge splits (if you will) in it! The blade broke in 4 different spots.. you literally could (if you dare to) spread the blade apart where it split! We are planning on calling Customer Service about this on Monday but could not believe out of no where this happened? My husband loves this knife... we joke that I'm not allowed to touch very few things of his- one being his tools and the other this knife. He sharpens it routinely as per the directions, so we are completely dumbfounded by this. My husband thought it was a piece of hair at first because it was a fine slit. Anyhow, I doubt this is something that happens often, otherwise I'm sure this company wouldn't be one of top ones out there. I hope Henckels compensates us for this, only after assuring this isn't their norm. On the brighter side, all of other knives seem to be just fine and are unbelievable when it comes to cutting.
