ZWILLINGProfessional S 7-inch Razor-Sharp German Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, Made in Company-Owned German Factory with Special Formula Steel perfected for almost 300 Years, Dishwasher Safe

The Highest quality and technology make for a durable, razor sharp work of art. A great value.

This cost more than I would like to spend on a knife, but I wanted a quality razor sharp knife and I now have one. I even christened it by cutting my finger within the first couple of times I used it. It's deadly. I don't feel like messing around with a food processor so I needed a couple good slicing knives to handle the fresh foods that I prepare. After researching, I decided to stay in the Henckels line. I already had a Santoku and kitchen knife by Henckels but wanted another Santoku after discovering someone had put little knicks in my blade. (none of my boys ever fessed up) I prefer the Santoku over the kitchen knife just because it's my personal preference. I like the feel of it better, although I do like the kitchen knife as the blade is slightely curved which allows me some rocking action when chopping fine things like herbs. So now I have a high quality veggie knife, and the old knicked santoku and kitchen knife which are still sharp which I use for meats and miscellaneous jobs. I love cutting with a sharp knife. It makes me feel good. It's a good buy, and the knife will probably last as long as I do. I also purchased a good sharpener to keep my knives sharp.

Like how this knife will enable you to slice and dice with the pro's!

I recommend this knife. Good quality for the price

I am a home cook, and I received this very expensive (for me) knife as a gift. I was surprised at the quality of such an expensive knife. The knife is sharp. In fact, it is probably one of the sharpest knives I have ever owned. However, the blade does not seem to be evenly sharpened. I have not and will not put this or any other knife in the dishwasher, so I know it is not due to that. The handle also seems to be cheaply made and doesn't really fit well in my hand. The knife is sharp and light weight. It is easy to use, but not of the best quality.

High quality, very sharp comfortable to use

This is my husband's and my favorite knife. I love using it for vegetables. He likes using it for meat. I liked it so much that I bought my dad one for Father's Day. He loves it too. We all love the hollow blade, because food sticks to it less. It is also crazy sharp. You can cut really thin slices of vegetables or meat with this knife. I love that it is made in Germany. So many good knives and other precision products come out of that country. I will say that it does take some getting used to that this knife doesn't cut in a rocking motion. We got used to it fast though. I may purchase the shorter one too. Love it, and highly recommend. Worth the investment for sure.

I have been using Cutco knives for a very long time and have enjoyed them. We eat a lot of veggies, so the knives get used a lot. Sometimes, even with a recently-sharpened Cutco chopper, I couldn't cut through tough tomato skins without starting the cut first with the point of the knife. While visiting my sister-in-law, I used her Henckel's Pro S 7 to cut some tomatoes. I was in love, and had to come home and order one. I love that sliced veggies don't ride up the side of the knife as much because of the grooves, but above all, I LOVE how easily it slices through just about anything (within reason). Great knife! Sorry, Cutco chopper--you're going to be a little lonely!
