Ginsu Essential Open Stock Series Japanese 420J2 Stainless Steel 7-Inch Santoku Blade 4855

Poor quality, won't keep an edge, it was fine for the first day. I would not recommend this knife even for the novice cook.

look at the edge of the blade, it is flat. it should be slightly curved to facilitate chopping otherwise you can't rock the blade and get a thorough cut. also, when you put the blade on a flat surface you can see light coming through where it contacts the surface. these areas along the edge are not cutting all the way through; i discovered this trying to rock-chop celery and noticed the pieces were still stuck together by their fibers. the handle fit and material is ultra cheap in appearance and feel. the knife is extremely light and they tout this made-in-china knife as japanese steel which i doubt. it may be suitable for push or pull slicing of certain items, but would have trouble dicing and certainly mincing.

the price is perfectly reflective of this knife.

I can't say I expected much with the price, but it was so dull it could barely cut into a tomato. I knew it wouldn't hold up to the name, but I was hoping that it would at least cut as much as a regular knife. Pass this one up people.

The knife serves its purpose, very good as far as cutting onions, dicing, cutting potatoes, pickles.

Before this I used a 5" utility knife, nothing like Santoku, being able to hold the blade correctly makes all the difference in the world when it comes to good cuts and proper blade control.

The kullens aka, those indentions in the side, do diddly squat. It's no biggy. Again I don't expect much because of the price I paid. This obviously isn't a genuine Santoku knife, in any sense of the word. Except maybe for its shape?

But really for the price, which is little to nothing, you get a decent knife that will do you good.

This was my first time buying a knife such as this.. I'm pleased with my purchase, and throughly enjoy the Santoku, use it every day. Compared to that 5" utility knife I had, which barely gets any use in the kitchen at all now. Being able to scoop the diced veggies onto the blade and just put em in the skillet, is pretty efficient.

One day when I get the cash, would like to buy a genuine Santoku knife though. Because long term, I prefer quality.
