J.A. HenckelsHENCKELS International Graphite 5" Hollow Edge Santoku

Love a good veggie knife

Perfect size and sharpness for smaller fruits and vegetables. The "dimples" keep the food from sticking to the blade. It's a forged knife, so it's definitely going to hold its edge really well, plus it gives it great weight and balance. Very sleek and modern!

Need this Knife

Made from German stainless steel, this knife serves a unique purpose in the kitchen. Perfect knife to use chop herbs, vegetables and fruits; the air pockets on the blade allow the product to slide easily off the knife versus stacking up on the blade. Ergonomically designed handle lets you use this knife for a long period of time without tiring and stressing your wrist and arm.

perfect prep

I love this knife. The design is beautiful. The solid stainless steel design is very sleek and modern. The handle is very comfortable to hold and lighter than expected. The blade is very sharp and easy to maintain. The size is perfect for my vegetable and herb prep. The Japanese blade design is prefect for chopping and slicing with ease. The slim blade profile and acute angle allows for precise cutting with very little waste.

Small Chef Knife

Wanted a smaller sized knife that I can use for my everyday knife. Decided to try this 5" Santoku. Love the size, and also find it to be sharper than my traditional chef knife. The hollow edges prevent food from sticking to edge when cutting. The knife has a good weight to it, but is light enough to prevent hand fatigue. Liked it so much I purchased pne for my daughter in law, and she loves it too.

I really like my santoku and use it as much as I use my chef knife in the kitchen. If you have not used a santoku, you can use it on meat, poultry and vegetables, and the hollowed out edge, called grantons, creates an air pocket keeping the food from sticking to the blade. I like the wider blade on the santoku and use it to scoop up what i have just chopped to transfer to the pan for cooking or sauteing. The handle is ergonomic and very comfortable, which means fatigue-free slicing, dicing and chopping.

The Graphite series of knives are forged from high quality stainless steel and allow you to get a nice forged knife at a value price. This knife is really sharp and the handle is comfortable. Because it is completely stainless steel it is easy to clean and dry. The Santoku style blade is really nice for chopping vegetables.

This knife is made from high quality German stainless steel and is extremely durable. The knife has hollow edges to help move food away from the blade as you cut, maximizing you effort. Handle is a brushed steel so won't get slippery when wet.

The 5 inch hollow edge knife is a knife that you need for the smaller kitchen tasks- slicing, dicing, mincing, etc. This knife has a fully forged bolster for extra durability and a sleek handle. Great value too!
