Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The straight blade and low tip on this 7-inch santoku knife, the Asian equivalent of the workhorse European chef's knife, make it ideal for fine cutting, chopping, and mincing. Sleek, comfortable, beautifully balanced, and sturdy, Sabatier Fuso knives offer a contemporary alternative to traditional kitchen-knife design while hewing to the standard of forming blades from high-carbon stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. Though the blades are stamped and not forged, the quality of the steel is excellent. The striking design feature is the handle, which is made of satin-finish stainless steel, rounded to fit the hand comfortably, and seamlessly joined to the blade by high-tech laser soldering. The result is an airtight, hygienic joint that won't capture food particles. Fuso knives are dishwasher-safe, though hand washing better protects the edges. This knife carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars I cook for a livin'..., January 6, 2004

This review is from: Sabatier Fuso 7-Inch Stainless Steel Santoku Knife (Kitchen)

I bought this...my mistake.
This is one of the most beautiful Santoku knives ever made from one of the most beautiful Sabatier lines ever made.
Stamped steel blade (a very good steel I might add), laser bonded to the handle, a very comfortable grip...and sharp as a razor. I mean really sharp!!! BUT...
The blade shape is almost unusable!!! The point actually hooks back down at the tip and gets stuck in a cutting board! The edge is NOT curved nearly enough to rock and roll...unbelievable! unusable! I had to take a coarse whet stone and re-shape the tip of this knife before I could use it for any purpose...quite a disappointment. I dumped it!

We smack this beastie boy with a single mojo* if only for it's beauty.
