Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The Japanese version of the chef’s knife, the santoku is useful for straight chopping, mincing, and slicing of larger quantities of vegetables and meat. Cooks with smaller hands may prefer this 7-inch blade as the shorter length offers better control while cutting. The width also provides a great platform for transporting chopped vegetables from cutting board to sauté pan.
Part of the Four Star series of cutlery, this santoku has a fully forged high-carbon stainless-steel blade. The blade, bolster, and tang are welded of one piece of metal using Henckels' Sinter Metal Component Technology, which distributes the right quantities of metal to each part of the knife. The result is a longer-lasting edge and a more consistent angle on the blade. The blade has also undergone Henckels' Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens it and protects it from discoloration. The black polypropelene handles offer a secure and comfortable grip and are hygienically attached so there are no gaps between the handle and blade for food to become trapped. This santoku should be hand washed and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
From the Manufacturer
 | First introduced in 1976, the Four Star® Series is one of the world's most popular knife lines. Four Star® knives were designed and developed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs.

Four 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, Four 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.

Versatile and Useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife (Kitchen)
As a professional chef myself, I have found a lovely peice to a small but complete set of professional knives. This knife is very well balanced and versatile. It will work well with just about any product you are useing, and a great alternitive to a chef's knife. Weather you are chopping, diceing, sliceing, or boning this knife will give the needed response while being extreemly comfortable for that case of veggies. The legendary Henckles name is well represented here and will last the average house hold user a life time. Weather you are looking to complete a set or just want a good all around knife, look no further.

An excellent backup to a chef's knife,
By SH in Tampa "SPH" (Tampa FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife (Kitchen)
Based on advise from a friend, I purchased this knife as a backup to my 8" chef's blade and have been very happy with it. It is very well balanced for vegetable preparation. I also find it's wide flat blade better than a chef's knife for long even 'precision slicing'.I have had this knife for a couple of years now and I find that it keeps it's edge (with maintenance) even better than my four star Henkels chef knife.

Henckels Santoku Knife,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife (Kitchen)
I love this knife. It's the best kitchen knife I've ever owned. I ordered the 4 star version because I like this style of handle the best. The high carbon stainless steel blade is very sharp and holds an edge a long time. It took me a few days, and a few band-aids, before I got used to how sharp it was. I plan on ordering more of the 4 star series.
