Review on 🔪 Wusthof Classic IKON Hollow Edge Santoku Knife - 5-Inch, Black Stainless Steel by Ashley Nelson

This is my first purchase from Wüsthof. I currently have a set of Henckels knives and wanted to add a 7" Santoku chef's knife to my collection to give it a new twist. The Wüsthof Ikon Classic Santoku has an incredibly sharp edge and cuts through soft tomatoes with ease. I cut myself without knowing it because the blade was so sharp. I like how ergonomic the Santoku handle is in my hand, the knife is very balanced. I couldn't swing this knife as far as my classic cutting knives, so this knife definitely cuts differently. The hollow edge is designed to prevent food from sticking to the blade while also making it easier to cut, it made cutting easier, wasn't so sure food wouldn't stick to the blade unfortunately after about 3 weeks of cutting on a wooden cutting board it already has some lost its sharp edges and needs to be resharpened. I didn't expect it to be so quick, but I use it several times a day. I am planning to add the regular hollow edge Ikon Classic 6 to my growing Wüsthof collection. "Chef's Knife and 3.5" Paring Knife (Merry Christmas!) So I'm switching.
