WÜSTHOF Classic 7" Santoku Knife

Love this knife 🔪 sharp, great handle and superb quality!

You can quickly slice through your veggies to make a stir fry. Super sharp and great quality.

A very versatile knife.

Excellent knife, keeps its edge with minimal upkeep

I do a lot of cooking, I prep and cook at least 10 meals per week, I use a lot of knives. I can tell that this one is a favorite already. Razor sharp out of the box. The hollowed out portions work like a charm. The knife is well balanced and strong, the tang is just a bit thicker than my ZWILLING set. WÜSTHOF makes a great product.

Wustoff is the best. This is a replacement for a knife that had its handle break after +25 years of regular use.

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.

Nice knife, stays sharp and doesn’t rust.
