Amazon.com Review
Branching out from its already successful cookware line, Anolon’s Advanced collection features high-grade materials with substantial weight. Blades are forged from high-quality German carbon steel that resists rust and food stains. The stainless steel is ice-hardened for additional strength and longer edge retention. Blades are then polished with glass to produce a sharper cut but an edge that is smoother to the touch.

This 7-inch santoku combines the best elements of a chef knife and a cleaver, producing straight, precise cuts of raw fish, poultry, or meat and uniform mincing of vegetables. Great for speedy prep work, the blade is hollow ground with "dimples," which create air pockets that prevent foods from sticking during slicing.

Full tangs and a counter balance cap on the Advanced Collection cutlery provide superior balance, while a rounded blade spine adds more comfort during extended periods of prepping. Ergonomically-shaped handles with cushioned non-slip Santoprene padding offer a comfortable, secure grip--even when cutting with wet hands. This santoku also comes with a large plastic sheath to protect the blade during in-drawer storage. Anolon guarantees this cutlery under a lifetime limited warranty and recommends hand washing and immediately drying knives to prevent dulling. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Reviews

Great knife for a great price
This is an amazing knife for the price. It fits beautifully in your hand and the weight is perfect. It is heavy with great leverage. I absolutely love to chop with it. I have Wustoff knife that i also like, but i have to admit for half the price this one is the winner. I can't imagine a better knife for this price on the market.

THIS IS THE ONE
THIS KNIFE IS GREAT, FINE BALANCE, HEAVEY ENOUGH THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORCE IT, VERY SHARP SEAMS TO KEEP EDGE GOOD, HANDLE FITS HAND JUST GREAT. DON'T THINK YOU COULD BUY ANY BETTER OR COME CLOSE TO THE PRICE FOR THIS QUALITY KNIFE.

Great knife, but not a true santoku
I purchased this knife 2 months ago on sale for about $25 at bed bath & beyond. The knife has great balance, can be sharpened to razor sharpness, and holds an edge well. The metal has a glassy polish finish that prevents food from sticking to the knife. The only problem with this knife is that it is thicker than your normal santoku knife. Usually, the more expensive santoku knives will indicate "thick blade" or something of that sort.

So if you don't mind the thicker blade, this knife is really a good piece of cutlery.
