Review on Yoshihiro High Speed Steel Santoku Multipurpose Chefs Knife (Black Pakkawood Handle) (7'' (180Mm) & No Saya) by Chris Wagner

I am a chef working in NYC at a small restaurant and was looking for a versatile knife. Santoku knife is lighter, thinner and more hardened to make up for the thinness in my opinion. It is great for delicate chopping and slicing since it is only about 7 inches. I like the swift motion and how it feels on the wooden chopping board. The grip is good but it took a bit of getting used to. Stainless steel makes it strong and solid; it does not feel flimsy at all. I have the carbon fiber version at home for simple cooking and this one is definitely more sturdy. This is definitely a multi-purpose knife that can mince, dice and slice all types of meat and vegetables. It is pretty sharp so be very careful thinking that the lightweight will not cut through the meat.It is inexpensive and performances well. I don't think any average home chef would need anything else. This can probably replace most of the knives set at home. I recommend this product for anyone looking to simply add or looking for multi-purpose knife that can do it all pretty much.
