I have knives from Wusthof (Classic, Precision), Henckels (Pro/Professional S, 4-Star), Global, and Shun. This is as sharp as any. The PecTec really works as promised--the edge feels like a Japanese knife. It has glided through everything I've cut with ease. I like the length of the 5" Santoku. It's great for smaller vegetable jobs and herbs. The construction is sturdy and the edge is holding nicely.

This is the handiest knife in my kitchen. Use it for almost every cutting job. And of course, Wusthof is the best.

My husband, who is a chef, loves it! He allows me to use it too and I could not believe what a difference there was between this knife and the others that we own.

Vegetable Knife I worth with daily. I know most people consider the nakiri a better substitute for this purpose, but this is the same quality for half the price. You will only need 4 knives in your basic collection and this should definitely be one of them.

We have a set of Henckels Pro-S which we love but wife gets intimidated but the chef’s knives. This is a better size and weight for her. She really likes this knife for cutting and chopping vegetables. Good purchase.

Purchased this knife for our granddaughter. She loves it. We have also used this knife for approximately five years and it is the best knife that we own. It is a very convenient size and can be used for almost everything. When Wusthof offered this knife at a 50% discount, we couldn't resist buying it for another member of the family.

I have a bunch of Henckel knives and have been happy with them over the 10 years or so that I have had them. I sharpen them twice a year and have been pretty my satisfied. But I have to say, this Wusthof is one sharp blade. Overall build quality is similar to my Henckel's too. I can't get over how sharp this knife is though. I can only hope that it keeps its edge over time. Kind of pricey, but would buy again.

This is the best all around Knife for your kitchen needs !!

I finally got sick of squishing tomatoes with my sub par knives and went on the hunt for a knife set. I found the great sets too expensive and decided to piece together a set as I have the money. I ordered these two first after much reviewing and am beyond pleased! These knifes feel great in my small hands- I like the weight, grip and especially the sharpness! I hand wash and dry right after use to preserve these beauties and I can't wait to buy more Wusthof knives!

Great quality and the personal engraving looks great
