Summary: Great little chopping knife
Comment: A nice and sharp chopper. Very versatile, and so far has kept it's edge (2 months of heavy use). It handles everything I throw at it very well. In addition, it holds its direction of cut very well, in contrast to some of the TV Chefs' 'signature series' knives.
Like all the knives in the Wasabi series, the blade is a little on the thin side, which can make the blade deflect a bit if you're hacking into something really hard, but you shouldn't be doing that with this type of knife anyway, right? Get a cleaver if you want brute force.
If you want a really nice intro-level chopping knife, get it. It's definitely worth the small price tag.

Summary: Nice knife, excellent value
Comment: The Kershaw Shun santoku is my favorite knife. This one, Kehaw's Wasabi model, is almost as good and equally sharp, but definitely not as pretty. But at $100 less, what a deal!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good knife, but not a great knife.
Comment: I wanted to try a Santoku knife, and the price was right for me to buy this one. The steel isn't bad - the stamped steel sharpens up to almost razor and holds an edge OK. I don't like the plastic handle. Since there is no bolster and this series isn't full tang construction, the knife has horrible balance.
This knife is good as a starter santoku, but if you want a serious blade then I would suggest spending more money and getting a nice forged piece.

Summary: Blade - excellent, handle - awful
Comment: I ordered this knife a week ago for a great price from Amazon. The blade on this knife shows Kershaw's quality through and through. Very sharp, matte finish and stamped with the kanji for "wasabi," a nice asthetic touch. Overall, an excellent blade. The handle however, is a different matter. Not only was it ugly, a much deeper shade than suggested by the product photos, but it felt gummy in my hand. Perhaps it is just a matter of personal preference, but I don't like to feel as if I am holding a raquetball while chopping. Order a whole set if you don't mind the feel of the handle because these knives have great blades.
5 for the blade 1 for the handle average of 3.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The Santoku knife resembles a turned down bird's beak, almost a combination of cleaver and chef's knife, with a completely straight blade on the bottom. Santoku actually means "three benefits", which you could translate as mincing, slicing and dicing, or that it can be used for meat, fish and vegetables. Either way, it's considered the Chef's knife or ultimate knife choice for many Japanese chefs. Right handed knife.
