Nice Knife to use
I have to say this knife is an excellent addition to my kitchen cutlery. I recently upgraded to J A Henckel Gourmet 18 pc set, so I added this knife and a meat cleaver. This Santoku is everything I had expected. I have watched many cooking shows where the cooks use the Santoku, but they still seem to have food stick to the blade. When I got this knife, I noticed the same results. Yet the knife is well balanced, and makes cutting chores fast and easy. A good knife to use in many cooking chores. Again I've seen a lot of big time chefs using all the high priced Santoku's and they always seem to have food left on the blade, but to me this is a minor inconvience.

Nice knife
I have had this knife for a year and it is holding up well. I put it through an electric sharpener after six months of use and came out with a nice sharp surface. It holds it's edge nicely. Feels good in my hand and feels like quality. Gets lot's of use. My favorite knife.
