Santoku Knife - 7-Inch Stainless Steel Blade with Genuine Wood Handle - Ideal Cutlery for Home Kitchen and Restaurant Use Review

I've only received this recently but it's good quality and I'll check again if it doesn't hold sharp but looks like it will last .

This knife is my new favorite. I love the feel of the wooden handle and the blade design is amazing. It's definitely worth the money.

I am a chef and I bought this knife especially for my camping kitchen. I like it so much that I recommend it as an everyday knife in the kitchen. very good quality, especially for the price.

Looking at the pictures I thought it was quite a utility knife. But it turned out really nice. It does not shine, but is perfectly finished with a muted look. I really like it and the price seems very reasonable. In fact, at $14, it's an incredible deal.

This knife is comfortable to hold and cuts well and I like its size for preparing vegetables for salads and cooking. But it's a lot lighter than other chef's knives I've owned, not sure if it's just the wooden handle or something else. Because of this, I don't like using it (my spouse doesn't approve of it). It's always supposed to be hand washable, but I've casually put it in the dishwasher a few times and it doesn't look any worse.

I try to cut closer to the handle with the second half of the blade. This knife allows me to do this with ease and is able to cut through the tough skins and fibers of vegetables. A length of 7 inches is enough for me (after trying a longer chef's knife). It also works well with meat. I don't know how long I can use it before the blade dulls. I also bought a sharpening stone. Hopefully with careful handling I can extend the life of this knife.
