    Blade gets dull fast
    by Kathleen, CA

    The first several days using this knife were terrific. I followed instructions for care and use very carefully, never letting the blade sit in water, and cleaning it at once and re-racking it into my knife block. But, the blade does get dull fast. I am disappointed due to the over inflated hype about this knife, and the cost. Not a good buy in my opinion. I am going to check out ceramic knives next to see if they hold an edge better than steel.

    Dollars for Donuts, buy it.
    by Scott, CA

    Coming from the Wustoff (sp?) Classic Santoku, the round handle took some adapting. Also, the cutting edge is longer and more curved than we are used to. But for $30? Totally worth it. Works well for mincing and slicing. Once it's in your hand for a minute you won't care about the shape of the handle or the shape of the blade. The target audience (my Mother In Law) loves it and is happy to replace her concave-edged 8" chef's with this quite nice knife. Have not used this one enough to need real sharpening, but it steels up nicely.

    Perfect "Manly" Size Knife
    by Barbara, WY

    I got this longer knife for my husband to use and he has really liked using it. First time in 30 years we have actually had good sharp knives, and we are excited to cook every day with all our new tool. This is another great value with the quality much higher than expected for the price.

    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.
