Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of W?sthof Classic 5-Inch Hollow Ground Santoku Knife
Customer Review: This knife is Cajun approved!
Summary: 5 Stars
My friend's sister bought the 7 inch version of this knife for herself, then bought one for my friend knowing she'd love it. After using her knife, I bought myself the 5 inch version and proceeded to chop vegetables until 1am! I then purchased one for my mom and one for my best friend. One year later, I'm now buying it as a gift for my newlywed friends. So basically, this knife is worth buying not once but six times.
I use it for everything from meat to vegetables. It's definitely my go-to knife. If more than one person is cooking in my kitchen, there's likely to be squabbling about who gets to use this fantastic knife. Everyone else has been extremely happy with their knives. Anyone who has this knife lists it as their favorite.
Description of W?sthof Classic 5-Inch Hollow Ground Santoku Knife
Delivering the "three benefits" of food prep, this Japanese blade is just the tool for fast and easy slicing, dicing and mincing. A finely crafted, razor-sharp investment, it's hand-forged in Germany of quality high-carbon stainless steel. Manufacturer's lifetime warranty.The hardest working knife in Asian cooking, the Japanese santoku--a cross between a butcher knife and a European chef's knife--splits, chops, dices, and slices meats, vegetables, and fruit. Its 5-inch, blade size is ideal for cooks with smaller hands and detailed chopping tasks, such as mincing garlic or slicing plum tomatoes. Like all santokus, this one has a straight edge for precise chopping and a hollow edge (with fingerprints indentations along the blade edge) that prevents food from sticking to the blade during slicing.
Part of W?sthof's Classic line of cutlery, this knife has a very traditional design. Its blade is hand-forged from high-carbon steel so it retains its sharp edge longer and is easier to re-sharpen. The blade also includes a stain-resistant alloy, and is ground and polished by computer for perfect tapering from tip to bolster. A signature feature of W?sthof knives, a weighted bolster gives this santoku the perfect heft. For balance, full tangs extend through synthetic handles and are triple-riveted for strength. --Cristina Vaamonde
