Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of W?sthof Classic 2-Piece Asian Santoku and Paring Knife Set
Customer Review: A comparison with the Henkel's 5 star santoku
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a Henkel's 5 star 8" santoku knife that I really love and wanted to get something just like it for my parents for Christmas, since they have mostly cheap and dull knives. I always thought that Wusthof had comparable quality, and since the regular price of these knives were much more than I paid for my Henkel's, I figured these would be even better than what I have. I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a knife. These Wusthofs are designed to be more lightweight. But my longer and much heavier 8" Henkel's santoku just feels more substantial, easier to use, and more versatile than these Wusthofs.
Also, I noticed that brand new, right out of the box, the Henkel's 5 star is super sharp and will slice anything that barely touches its edge. It cut so effortlessly. And that impressed me. But these Wusthof knives were not nearly as sharp coming out of the box. They had a holder set on the blade for safety, but it seemed unnecessary since it would take some effort to cut your fingers on the blade.
Again, if you're looking for lightweight this is probably the knife for you. But having used both this and the Henkel's 5 star 8" version, my preference is the heavier, sharper, and longer Henkel's 5 star.
Description of W?sthof Classic 2-Piece Asian Santoku and Paring Knife Set
Two basic knives you'll reach for time and time again as you chop, slice, mince and peel. From Wusthof's Classic line, this pair includes a 7-in. Hollow Edge Santoku Knife and a 3-in. Paring Knife. The Santoku, similar to the chef's knife, can be used for slicing onions, cutting melon or mincing herbs; the Paring Knife removes skins from potatoes or apples. The high-carbon stainless steel blades have indentations along the edge that help prevent food from sticking as you slice. Full tangs provide perfect balance. The precision forged knives also come with triple-riveted, high-impact composition handles that fit comfortably in the hand. Wusthof's newest state of the art technology incorporates a new computer controlled method for putting the edge on Classic knives. This technology allows for an exacting edge from the tip of the knife down to the heel of the knife. With this newer precision, the knives are made sharper to 14 degrees per side for a total of 28 degrees. The knives are now sharper and this refinement increases the sharpness retention because exacting angles and edges last longer than edges sharpened by hand. The result is a knife that is 30% sharper and the ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) lasts twice as long..Asian Knives
