Amazon.com Review
This is a Japanese chef's knife, a low-tip style with a broad blade and slightly curved cutting edge. For Asians, this knife is the same kitchen workhorse the French chef's knife is for Europeans. Its cutting edge is less curved, so it provides little rocking action, but for straight-down slicing and precise chopping, it's superb. Its 7-inch blade can be manipulated by cooks of any hand size, and its balance should please. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines. Handles are smaller, a feature those with small hands may appreciate. Pro S knives this size and larger are high-tech welded to combine three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this santoku knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer  | The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series features trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling--it's a line of knives admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The Twin Pro S line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chef's, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Twin Pro S knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered. | | A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction Twin Pro S knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Pro S knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels's Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.  An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use  | J.A. Henckels's Twin Pro S knives boast a comfortable, ergonomic three-rivet handle design that won't wear against the hand and helps to provide control when doing any cutting task. These durable Novodur handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang on each knife for stability and durability.

Summary: First real knife..used every day 2006-03-09
Comment: After working in amatuar kitchens and going through the school of hard knocks I finally got into a real restaurant where I was expected to have my own knives. I looked around quite a bit for a good knife and as soon as I held this one in my hand I knew it was the one and I have not been dissapointed. The weight and balance are perfect. It's still sharp after over 2 months of everyday use chopping everything from chives, parsley, and limes to opening plastic bags and slicing open baked potato's . All I do is hone it everyday before I go into work and the edge stays all night. As long as that is done I'm sure it will provide me many years of valuable service.

Summary: An excellent knife for everyday use 2005-10-03
Comment: I received this Henckels Santoku knife as a graduation present, along with a full set of Pro S knives, when I graduated from Culinary School. I had done a lot of research about different brands of knives and felt that the Henckels Pro S series was the best for me. The grip is not cheap and I love the weight of the knife in my hand. And the santoku knife is excellent. I have been using it almost everyday for 4 years. It has replaced my chef's knife as my primary knife and I now use it for simple tasks like cutting up vegetables such as onions and potatoes. And I also use it for more difficult tasks such as cutting up a chicken. This is a great knife that with proper care and sharpening will last for many years.

Summary: Very good knife.. 4.5 stars 2004-10-02
Comment: This is the knife I use everyday in the kitchen. Blade is the perfect size for pretty much doing everything and remains sharp for while, if honed regularly. It's also lighter than the chef's knife. My only complaint about the knife (therefore dropping it half a star) is that the blade is not perfectly straight,there's a slight curvature of the blade. This makes it a little difficult to do some tasks. Other than that, a very good knife.

Summary: GREAT KNIFE! 2004-07-03
Comment: My husband bought me a set of Henckels Professional knives a few years ago for Christmas! He just bought me this knife for my birthday (I love kitchen gadgets, but he also bought me a diamond ring, so I can't complain!) I love to cook, and this knife fits into my hand very nicely!!
It is a great knife to add to my set.
