With Fathers day around the corner I have decided to ask for a Santoku knife as it looks like a good option to have, wondering what suggestions others have for the brand, I don't want to have a small fortune spent on me (rules out Global) but i saw a decent looking one in the procook outlet last week that had a nice weight and feel to it.

Why santoku out of interest? I don't have one, but I can't think of anything I'd use one for that isn't covered by my chef's knife.
i have a small and large chefs knife, i use them both for most of my cooking tasks but I miss the cleaver that i used at Dads house, having had a play with a santoku and cleaver i felt happier with the santoku

great knives for everything ..being in the trade .. I have knives up to £250 .. but the one I use most is a £47 one similar to that
if your going pro cook then try this better handle and blade .. at a low price http://www.procook.co.uk/product/pro...n=MerchantFeed

Î've got 2 Santoku knives and far prefer them to chefs knives, 1) the action 2) scalloped edging and 3) I sometimes drift off when chopping/slicing and because there's no raised point at the end of the blade I don't cut myself which I've done on a number of occasions using classic chef knivesOriginally Posted by Butcher
forgot to say, I have both the large and small X50 ones now

Have you ever tried a ceramic knife? I have the Kyocera KYOTOP Sandgarden HIP Ceramic Utility Knife and it is fantastic.

Nice, am suddenly tempted. Keep us updated with impressions.forgot to say, I have both the large and small X50 ones now
Very good and very sharp, I tend to go straight for one of those knifes now unless I feel the need to use the cleaver I got as well.
Veggies fall straight off as the indentations allow air in during the cut rather than have a load of veg sliding up toward the handle. They also fill you with confidence when cutting, I chop twice as fast and still have all my fingers (for now)
Santa got me a magnetic knife block so I could reclaim some draw space, perfect for the 3 knifes i use.

I bought some X50s today, just a 3 piece set as wanted something better than generic knives for ages. Also looked at a cheap santoku but ended up with a 'Deba' (chefs knife?...)
I'll be slicing veg up tonight regardless of whats for dinner to test them
Don't forget to give payment
20% offer ended, but there is a 15% discount at the moment.
