    Sharp and balanced
    by Ken, HI

    This fluted Santoku knife was a great buy. A 7-inch blade makes for a better general purpose knife. This item arrived with a noticeably sharp edge. The thickness and quality of the steel was especially pleasing - not a heavy clunker

    Magnificant Knife
    by Valerie, OH

    This was my second purchase of this knife and I have to say, it is of exceptional quality, lightweight and easy to handle. It is extremely sharp and does the job in minimal time. I think the manufacturer should consider a case as they are too sharp to leave in the drawer unprotected.

    Perfect Multi-purpose Knife and Great Value!
    by Barbara, WY

    I LOVE this style knife. got the shorter one for myself since I have small hands and it is so sharp and works perfectly! I will be buying more Calphalon cutlery. The price is deceptively low for the quality of the product.

    Cooking Tip From the Food Network Kitchens

    Don't you hate it when you're trying to slice a cooked potato and your knife just smushes it instead? Try using a <i>santoku</i> knife instead. Its blade has specially designed hollow indentations that reduce drag when cutting, so your knife will slice right through. Santokus are also great for cutting soft cheeses, slicing onions, and just about all your everyday chopping tasks.
