They aren't kidding--this thing is razor-sharp. It needed no tuning up before I used it for the first time. The handle is balanced so that one feels almost no weight... which is unfortunate, because I like the weight for chopping. But the hollow-edge design is wonderful--the mushrooms and onions I sliced up were thin as paper, and didn't stick to the blade. I'd recommend it.

Good balance - great for light-duty chopping and mincing where you want to be close to (or directly over) the blade for control. All claims about grippy foods not sticking to the blade are bunk - tomatoes (etc) stick like they do to any other non-dimpled blade. High quality metal. Recommended if you find your standard chef's knife lacking for control.

It is hard to say one brand is better than the other when all the brands have different variations of one type. I suggest buying the knife based on usage and how the handle suits you. Most of the high quality knives are similar in construction but the handles are different in each one. It is better to go with the handle you feel most comfortable with, I believe the grip is very important in terms of control.

A good suggestion is maintaining it using a high quality sharpener or taking it to be sharpened.

This knife can pretty much do anything, except slice bread, peel fruit, and act as a cleaver. Foods do stick to it when you chop, like others said, but it is still a good knife. You will still need other tools, but this knife can replace a few similar sized chef's knives you will not need anymore.

We have been very pleased with all of the Henckels products we own, and this knife is no exception. I use my santoku knife almost exclusively. This particular knife was also made in Germany--there are some cheaper versions of Henckels knives that were made in China, if that makes any difference to you when choosing which knife to buy.

This was a present for my brother who is in Culinary Arts school. He loves it, and the professor was very impressed with it's quality. If you're looking for a quality knife, this is the way to go! Wustoff and Henckels are identical except for the stamped handle. Get one, you know you want to !

I have had this knife for almost a year and use it all the time. I would highly recommend it. The blade has remained sharp and continues to cut everything beautifully.

This knife is comfortable in your hand, and slices through things with ease. It is the favorite knife at our house! Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. I'm so thankful for this great knife!

If you can only afford one knife, save your money for this one. Great tom work with. Cleans up nicely. Stays very sharp.

I purchased the base set of these knives toward the middle of last year and have been adding a few here and there to complete the collection. I can easilly say that this knife is the most used of them all. It's great for slicing, dicing, or mincing anything. They stay pretty sharp being high-carbon ice-hardened steel, but I sharpen mine a little each time I use it.

I got the knife 2 weeks ago and it really works great, very sharp blade and easy to use. The only thing I noticed is the part of its description that anything you slice or chop doesnt sticks on the blade because of its hallow edge, this is not true because I always slice tomatoes and it really sticks on the blade I have to swipe it down with my index finger to get into the bowl. But the quality is really great, I just hope this would last for a long time!
