Wüsthof Gourmet 5" Santoku, Hollow Edge

Es perfecto! Tengo manos muy pequeñas y con este cuchillo me cuesta mucho menos trabajo cortar rápido. Nunca falla Wüsthof!

Good price, received quickly, sharp.

My entire life has been lived without a Santoku knife. I always made due with cheap stuff and whatever I could pick up along the way. This was my first uprade, ever. First, it's lightweight. That's a plus for unstable wrists and periodic pain. Second, it's predictably sharp, no surprise there, but not so sharp to accidentally cut yourself. Third, it combines manufacturing features in an attractive way. The handle is smooth, the rivets (?) holding it together are neither recessed or protruding. The photo is accurate, what you see, is what you get. Other reviewers have complained about rust. I can't possibly see how this would happen, unless not caring for it as recommended. I hand wash immediately after use, dry completely and, for now, replace in the plastic cover provided. In a busy household this may be unrealistic, but for a single person, doable. It's a delight to use, always performing the same on any food, whether covered by skin or not.

Why did I wait so long? Perfect knife.

Lightweight knife that takes a nice edge. Fantastic veggie slicer.
