12.5 cm Cucina Santoku Knife, Silver

Comfortable, no nonsense knife that does everything you want it to easily..dry immediately after cleaning though or rust blooms appear on it high carbon content blade. Takes an holds a fine edge with a little patience. I have better . But I use this one the most because it's a pleasure to use in the kitchen.

This was a bit bigger than I'd expected for a paring knife (I really should check the measurements in the description!!) but it's a brilliant knife. Very sharp and ideal for vegetables and hard fruits. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it.

I guess it's okay for the £6.50 I paid, but it's no way near as good as the same company's "Sabatier Trompette" 15cm chef's knife which cost me about £7 (in a set of 3 knives which cost £21 total). Link; Richardson Sheffield 3-Piece Sabatier Trompette Knife Starter Set, Silver PROS: It's fairly comfortable to hold, but not quite as nice as the Sabatier Trompette series. Seems well made, sharp out of the box. Slices very well, and goes through food easily. Decent size, but just a bit too much on the bigger size for my preference. Can scoop food extremely well due to being wide. It has cutouts on the side of the blade to reduce sticking. So far I have had no sticking of food to it. CONS: The grind on it starts where the cutouts are on the blade, far too close to the edge (as you can see in the official photo above). This means the blade wants to tilt a bit when cutting (it wants to tilt away from you, so it exits the food before you reach the chopping board), which is not a big problem, I can just adjust the angle of the blade as I cut, but it's really not as nice as a really thin full flat ground blade (as you can see in my photo below), which just goes straight down much better. Conclusion: Good value for money, but there are better options. I've added a photo of all my knives from this brand (sorry I don't have a good photo of this specific knife). The front two are AMAZINGLY good at cutting due to their shape. I'll add a review of them here: Richardson Sheffield 3-Piece Sabatier Trompette Knife Starter Set, Silver

If you want a bread knife, this will do.

Great knives, very sharp. Had one before. Let down by poor packaging, had to scrub really hard to get the glue residue off both knives I had purchased given the way they were fixed to the cardboard

Super value able fr the price

Good bread knife...specialized...not that versatile.

Validissimo e costa poco !!!!! Per gli amanti della cucina, in senso di preparare divertendosi pietanze, è il coltello giusto.

El cuchillo corta muy bien y aparentemente es excelente, pero tiene un problema grave: después de un uso breve el filo de la hoja presenta numerosas manchas de óxido. Nunca había visto un cuchillo con este problema: por lo tanto, está hecho de hierro, no de acero inoxidable. Básicamente es una estafa.

The knives are great. Better than I expected.

1. Blade is extremely sharp, it is sharp now so will see how long it last before need a shine. 2. Easy to hold and balanced weight 3. Not with the sleeve so you may find how to store it once you have it. 4. Majority of Indians are not used to buy a knife of INR 200+ but for me it was totally worth it. Updated on: Aug 15th 2022. Still the way it was on day one. Totally loving it.
