My wife liked a smaller santoku from our crummy knife block because it fit well in her hand and was more comfortable to use than my chefs knives but it was duller than Trump supporters. I decided to purchase this when it was on sale for a gift since Shun has a good reputation with their knives. It came plenty sharp and looks really nice on our magnetic knife strip with some other Japanese steel from my collection. My only gripe is that it doesn't hold its edge as long as I'd hoped it would.

Beautiful, comfortable to use and very sharp. I bought this to replace my old Wusthof classic santoku that the handle deteriorated after 30 years of being put in the dishwasher. (I’ll be handwashing these.) The price for the set at Wayfair was lower than anywhere else I looked. I had some confusion about the length of the larger knife’s blade. The Wayfair description says 6” and I was worried that it would be shorter than the one I was trying to replace. But, the new Ikon knife blade actually measures 6.75” and is exactly the same as my old classic santoku. I’m very pleased to have these knives.. Sbb. CA. Tue Sep 22 2026

Zwilling Pro is the most user-friendly knife available to the market. The unique blade shape and ergonomic bolster are the results of 280 years of experience in knife making, and the rigorous study of how knives are used. A unique curved bolster supports the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was redesigned with a broader curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the Asian chopping motion. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip Designed in Italy by Matteo Thun and made in Germany by Zwilling J.A. Henckels, the company that sets the standard for exceptional cutlery worldwide. The Zwilling Pro Santoku Knife is a Japanese style chef's knife that is perfect for most kitchen tasks.

Miyabi 5000 FCD Santoku, 18cm blade length. This Japanese santoku has a hard fine carbide steel core for very good cutting edge retention and sharpness. Santoku translates as "Three Virtues", these being meat, fish, and vegetables. The flat cutting edge lends itself to a chopping motion rather than the rocking cutting movement of European chef's knives. The blade core is surrounded by 48 outer layers of steel which make up the unique Damascus-design pattern on the blade. The cutting edge is Honbazuke-honed and symmetrical (not single bevel), so can be used by those both right and left-handed. There is no finger guard so the whole length of the cutting edge can be used. The handle and half-bolster join seamlessly for comfortable use. The smooth surface helps to prevent the formation of calluses on the thumb and forefinger. Hand wash only for the best care and maintain and sharpen using a whetstone. We’d recommend using a wooden chopping board rather than glass, ceramic, or stone boards as these will dull the cutting edge.
