LamsonSharp Santoku Knife 7-Inch Silver Review

Average Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I've owned this knife, along with a Wusthof Classic 8" inch chef's knife, for about 10 years.The Wusthof is more versatile and can be used for 90% of your cutting tasks.The Lamsonsharp is almost as versatile, and is especially good for vegetables.The Wusthof, with it's sharp tip, is better for tackling roasts and whole chicken.Both use top quality steel and keep sharp with proper care.The Lamonsharp's rosewood handle has a particularly nice feel.If this knife is going to be the workhorse of your kitchen, I would choose a quality chef's knife like the Wusthof.If you want another knife to complement your chef's knife, or never use it for meat, this Lamsonsharp santoku will make you happy.

Product Description:
LamsonSharp's Silver series forged cutlery feature Dymondwood resin-infused wood handles that are heat and water resistant. Air pockets along the blade edge (known as kullenschliff, granton edge or hollow edge) help to keep the knife moving freely and reduce sticking. Santoku knives have a sheep's foot blade style - meaning the gently curved tip of the blade visually resembles an ungulate's (a hoofed animal) hoof. The word Santoku means "three virtues" in Japanese, which refers to the tasks of slicing, dicing and mincing. The blades are one-piece full tang, made from hardened and tempered high-carbon stainless steel from Solingen, Germany. The blades are also taper-ground, polished, hand-edged and honed. The handles are triple riveted with nickel silver rivets for perfect balance and weight. All LamsonSharp knives are covered under the Sharp For Life program. All LamsonSharp knife owners can have their knives sharpened by the craftsmen who made them, for life. Every open stock LamsonSharp forged knife also comes with its own LamsonSharp KnifeSafe - a durable, easy-to-care-for, nontoxic, food grade, clear polypropylene sheath. The Knife safe sheath is dishwasher safe and features tabs that clamp tight, and rubber pads that hold the knife securely in place for safe storage and transportation. Lamson & Goodnow, the makers of LamsonSharp knives, have been handcrafting cutlery since 1837 in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. Lifetime warranty. Made in the USA. Blade style: 7" Kullenschliff Santoku.
