I took a knife skills class and immediately fell in love with this santoku. It has a hollow and extremely sharp edge and the length allows you to smoothly rock the knife to slice quickly and effortlessly. The granton edge helps keep food from sticking to the blade while slicing and the knife itself is well-balanced with a solid bolster and tang. The wide blade is also wonderful for scooping up from the cutting board to bowl or pan. This knife is going to be my workhorse, no doubt about it!Because it's expensive, I feel that I should warn that if you cut on glass, marble, ceramic or other hard surfaces, you'll be wasting your money, because this knife edge will be destroyed by those. It should also be honed on a fine or smooth steel before each use to keep that razor edge straight and then professionally sharpened once or twice a year.
I highly recommend this knife -- very good quality.
