By jandor
This is my first Wusthof purchase. I currently own a Henckels knife set and wanted to add the 7" Santoku Chef knife to my collection for a new twist. The Wusthof Ikon Classic Santoku has an incredibly sharp edge, cutting through soft tomatoes with little effort was a joy. I nicked and cut myself without even knowing because the blade was so sharp. I love the ergonomic way the Santoku handle feels in my hand, the knife is very balanced. I haven't been able to rock this knife the same way like my classic edge knives, so this knife definitely cuts differently. The hollow edge is supposed to keep food from sticking to the blade while making cutting easier, it made cutting seem easier, not so sure about food not sticking to blade. Sadly after about 3 weeks of cutting on a wooden cutting board it had already lost some of it's razor sharp edge and will need sharpening. Wasn't expecting this to happen so quickly, but I use it several times per day. I'm planning on adding the regular Hollow Edge Ikon Classic 6" Chef Knife & 3.5" Paring knife to my growing Wusthof collection (Merry Christmas to me!)and eventually phasing out my tired Henckels for the new Hollow Edge tech. All in all, I'm converting.
