 overall disappointedJun 27, 2006
By John W. Perkins

This knife is a joy to handle and cuts like a dream as long as it is sharp. There's the problem. I have found that it doesn't hold and edge as it should. Even if I use a steel to align the edge before every use. I would/will purchase another brand of Satoku. Not Wusthof's usual quality.

 DisappointingDec 21, 2007
By Kim
I ordered this knife for my mother as a Christmas present but returned it after seeing how cheaply it's made. Although I read the product description and knew it was designed as a more economical alternative to Wusthof's Classic line of cutlery, I decided to give it a chance because my mom isn't that much into cooking. I didn't test it out, but it's evident by the look and feel that the quality and craftsmanship is far below what I expected, and I'm disappointed in Wusthof for selling such a low quality product. I own several pieces from their Classic line of knives, including Wüsthof Classic 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, and absolutely love them. So, don't be scared away from the Wusthof name, just stick to the Classic line and don't buy this knife.

 This is one of my two favorite knivesOct 31, 2007
By Nico
I am a bit of a nut for kitchen gadgets, and I have to say that this is one of my two favorite knives (along with a 4" Henckels paring knife). It is both very sturdy and comfortable, but also light and thin, which makes a huge difference when cutting into things like butternut squash or large potatoes or root vegetables. It really is much better than most chef or santoku's, IMHO.
As to sharpening, I use an Aladdin Knife sharpener, a wall hanging unit which works very well with this and all my knives. It is not a purist's tool, but it works just right for me. It only needs sharpening about once a month for me, and does very well.

Pretty good but ..Feb 01, 2010
By Dinakar Subramanian
I bought this knife a few months ago and started using it with gusto. It was fun and a welcome change from the other knives I was using. But I noticed that within a couple of months, the edge has become dull. It still cuts carrots etc relatively easily but it is dull enough not to get the initial cut - like the edges of onions or carrots. So I find myself using a serrated knife to start the process and then start using this one.
So, I am disappointed and I use this only randomly on veggies that were already easy to cut before I got this knife.

 as espected for a gourmet series knifeNov 02, 2009
By Jesus Lopez
I bought this to complete my series of beginer knives, i like it a lot, I disagree with other reviews, the edge is nice and if you use the chaira even better, but i must recognize that this knife is thin, but wusthof is clear in it description, is a beginer's knife, if you want something more sturdy get the classic series if knives. otherwise i love it.
