WÜSTHOF Classic 7" Santoku Knife

Wusthof is a forever knife. Yes they are expensive and worth it. My wife and I have had a Wusthof kitchen knife set up for many years and use them daily. We seem to use the 7" Santoku the most. Purchased this Santoku for myself. Now we have two. Much easier when we prep meals together. They are very sharp have a nice balance and gripe. Keep them sharp, hand wash & dry. They come with a lifetime warranty. (If you were to have a issue)

This has became my wife's favorite knife! It feels good in your hand and it's super sharp! The size is really good for prep work. It's a little more pricey than others, but there's no doubt it will last a lifetime. We have several other Wusthof knives and they are very durable and look really nice. they are super sharp and sharpen easily. It's the only knives we buy anymore.

Excellent quality. Looks great and has held up for 2 years. Exceptionally sharp right out of the box. Well-balanced. Comfortable grip. I can chop almost like a professional. Fairly expensive, but it truly is a case of getting what you pay for.

I absolutely adore this knife, and I would consider this to be the new "workhorse" knife in our kitchen. We have a lot of knives in the block, many of which are more expensive, and allegedly better knives than this, but more often than not, this is the knife that my wife and I reach for the most by far. I have struggled to find a way to articulate why that is, and the best I can come up with is that I think what makes this knife special (and I suppose the other Wusthof knives we own as well), is the fact that it is a well-made knife that is comfortable to use, and most importantly, it manages to keep a useable edge far longer than anything else. If I had the luxury of setting aside time once a week or month or whatever to maintain the edges on the more expensive knives, I am sure they would be a better experience, but the fact of the matter is that we simply do not have the time... I think this is where Wusthof knives shine to be honest. They don't require the extra time and attention to keep them in a useable state as something like some of the other more expense knives we own. I really wish I would have been a bit more honest with myself about what is realistic BEFORE we went out and spent a small fortune over time on knives that are absolutely great, but just don't fit our lifestyle. It's kind of a strange thing because those other great knives are amazing. But the Wusthof is just SO much more forgiving in the kitchen for someone that works fulltime and is always in a hurry to throw dinner together for the family and just doesn't have time to give some of these other knives the time and attention they require to keep a good edge. I doubt we will purchase anything other than Wusthof moving forward. GREAT products. This one in particular is my favorite of them all. Worth every last penny.

love it! It is my go to prep knife. I use it almost daily and it has stayed sharp.

The primary reason I purchased this knife was for cutting chicken breasts into cutlets. The ol' chef's knife just wasn't "cutting it". Erm, okay... I've learned a few things with this knife, and there is a bit of a learning curve for someone who has never used one before. The first thing is that I can really make some fine slices with this thing. It works well for the intended purpose, but what I really like it for is mincing garlic. Man, does this knife make that task easier. I use this knife for most of my mincing these days. Part of my problem is that I have used a chef's knife so much over the years that the Wusthoff I own feels like an extension of my arm. I can do a lot of stuff with a small chef knife, and I can do it quickly. I still prefer dicing most vegetables with the chef's knife. In fact, I would say that my chef's knife is still my workhorse knife. I can do just about anything with it. There are just some tasks that a santoku does better. Like mincing. Did I mention that I love mincing with this thing? Now I do have one piece of buyer's remorse with this. With a chef's knife, I prefer a smaller knife because it's more nimble and easier to control. I figured that with this knife, I would also prefer a smaller knife. However, I have quickly learned that I should have purchased a larger size. This is a great knife, but I do not feel it is in the "sweet spot" as far as size goes. That's not going to knock off any points, but it should be something potential buyers should consider. The worst part about that, though, is that it only needs about one inch to be perfect. Oh well. I suppose I'll buy another knife one day. It's just unfortunate that these have tripled in price over the last three years.

Extremely sharp! Already had an accident! Only complaint is that it is too light!

Excellent small santoku knife — smaller than expected! Easy to handle and very sharp.

buen filo, un poco ligero lo que lo hace complicado adaptarse pero en general un buen cuchillo, cumple con lo que la marca promete

Ottima qualità

Beautiful knife. It’s the best I’ve used till date. Retains the edge very well. Does not need sharpening for months (can be honed regularly) to maintain the edge. Same goes for the 8 inch chef knife as well. Big thanks to the seller Atlantic Shoppe for bringing this product to the Indian market!

I have a few wüsthof knives now. There all excellent. A good investment

Le couteau Santoku par excellence. Indispensable !
