The Wusthof 4188 Gourmet 7-inch Hollow Cut Santoku Knife is the perfect slicing/dicing/chopping tool. The handle is contoured comfortably, and the blade is capable of slicing sliver-thin to thick, depending on your preference. It's in constant use in my vegetarian household, and has performed beautifully with a variety of fruit and vegetables. The Amazon price is well below retail.

I originally bought this knife some 16 years ago. The handle cracked recently, so I decided to replace it. Why would I replace it with the same knife after the handle cracked you ask? Because 1) I put the knife in the dishwasher all these years which was against the advice of Wustof, and 2) even so, it took 16 YEARS to be a problem. I couldn't be happier with my new knife and I now wash it, lovingly, by hand every time. :)

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2012

I purchased this Santoku knife to complete the block set from this product line. I use this knife more than any other in the block set. It serves many cutting purposes from cutting vegatables, proteins and meats, anything. It feels good in my hand and it cuts very well. I have been using it for several months and I have not had to sharpen it yet. It still cuts smoothly through a tomato without effort. If you are looking for a knife to complete your set or just looking for a good all around/all purpose knife I would recommend the Wusthof Gourmet Santoku knife.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of my two favorite knives
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2007
Verified Purchase
I am a bit of a nut for kitchen gadgets, and I have to say that this is one of my two favorite knives (along with a 4" Henckels paring knife). It is both very sturdy and comfortable, but also light and thin, which makes a huge difference when cutting into things like butternut squash or large potatoes or root vegetables. It really is much better than most chef or santoku's, IMHO.

As to sharpening, I use an Aladdin Knife sharpener, a wall hanging unit which works very well with this and all my knives. It is not a purist's tool, but it works just right for me. It only needs sharpening about once a month for me, and does very well.

4.0 out of 5 stars santoku but not classic
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2010

Having already owned a Woustof "Classic" Santoku, Iwas delighted to find this one at a good price, but it is not quite up to the quatity of the clasic line. The difference is in the handle, this one is not as nice, lighter and less substancial. Does not have a nice feel in the hand. The blade is all good and very sharp. Given as a gift the recipient was very happy with it, but they havent used a Woustof of a better line.

I like to buy kitchen items for my wife once in a while as a surprise (she likes it...really). I had been seeing Santoku knives around quite a bit and they looked useful so I bought this one for her. It is now her favorite knife. I thought it was a bit on the light weight side, but she said that was good, not bad. It is definitely the sharpest knife I have seen right out of the box. Anyway, long story short, she thinks it's great and she knows quality after having had her own restaurant years ago.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2022

So…I bought this for my wife to help round out her knife block. It wasn’t the same as her other knives, the tang was only tall enough for half of height of the handle, vs the full height like her other Wusthofs. That being said, this has become her go-to knife for food prep.

Cheap, cheap, cheap. The quality of this knife is the worst I've ever seen. Poor quality steel, poor balance, but they made the knife look good so people would buy it. Terrible! I would never buy another Wusthof knife again. I'm sure they have some good quality knives, but their reputation is spoiled by the quality in this knife as far as I'm concerned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Das funktioniert so richtig gut
Reviewed in Germany on May 7, 2011
Verified Purchase
Gekauft um mein Küchenmesserset zu komplettieren, etwas zum choppen mit der "richtigen" Santoku Form mußte her. Die seitlichen Kuhlen waren ein weiteres Kaufargument.

Die Verarbeitung ist nicht so satt, nicht so massiv wie ich es bisher von meinen Kochmessern gewohnt bin, da hätte ich mit meinen 10.5er Händen gerne ein wenig mehr Gewicht in der Hand. Im Verhältnis zu meinem Kochmesser 20cm ist der Stahl im Rücken fast nur halb so dünn, das Messer hat meinem Gefühl nach dadurch eine etwas zu geringe Verwindungssteifigkeit. Es fühlt sich dadurch für mich ein wenig zu leicht an. Auf der anderen Seite kann man mit einem schmaleren, leichten Messer besser choppen, keine Frage, und dafür ist es da.

Der Schnitt ist zumindest beim neuen Messer mehr als einwandfrei. Gut, die Frage ist wie lange. Die Schärfe per Stahl erhalten zu können ist ein wichtiger Punkt, den ich naturgemäß erst bei Bedarf kommentieren kann. Zumindest aber im Moment ist der Schnitt eine reine Freude, die Schärfe verdient eine kleine Warnung...

Update 25. Mai 2012: 5 Sterne, ich choppe gefühlt wie ein Profi. Nach einem halben Jahr mußte ich angefangen es mit einem Stahl abzuziehen.
