I have loved my knife for over a decade. I took very good care of my knife but some how my handle cracked, broke and Wusthof replaced it under their limited life time warranty! They stand by their products and have shown they are a Top notch company!

Ive used this knife for most cooking for the last decade+. The handle recently started cracking and hurting my hand so we reached out to the company to see where what we could do to get it usable. Turns out with their lifetime warranty, they just replaced the whole knife for us! We had to send in our knife and I thought they would take forever to repair it and return it. Was trying to make do with my other knife when wustof contacted us to tell us to get a new knife instead. So we ordered the exact same knife since it has been my favorite. Always liked the knife and now happy with the company standing behind their warranty! I will buy my other knives from here also.

This is my second knife of this style, had the first one for almost 15 years and when the handle cracked I sent it back to Wusthof and they replaced it without question. These are very well built knives, easily sharpened and hold a good edge
I just LOVE my Wüsthof knives...I now have both the 8" Classic Chef's Knife and the 6" Classic Santoku. Wow - prepping dinner is a whole new, improved experience. Thanks for making such outstanding products!
I purchased the Classic 7" Hollow Edge Santoku almost 20 years ago and it is still my go-to knife for prepping meals. It has a great balance; in fact, it feels like an extension of my hand. It's very versatile - I use it to cut through melons, chop onions and mince vegetables.
We were gifted a WÃœSTHOF Santoku knife in 2011 as a wedding present and have been using it for nearly 100% of our cooking cutting tasks ever since. We like it so much that we bought this second Santoku so that we wouldn't be without one while we sent the first one off to be sharpened. Highly recommended!
This is the best knife ever! It's so versatile! And I cannot get over Wustof's incredible warranty and customer service. The best in the biz! Thank. you so much!
I purchased an entire knife set but I am always reaching for the santoku and pairing knife. it's sized so conveniently as traditional chef knives are too large/heavy for me to comfortably use. If you had to only get one knife, I would definitely recommend this santoku.
This was a replacement for a knife under warranty which I had for quite some time. The replacement knife is fantastic and vey sharp compared to it's replacement and the other knives I have in the set. This is my favorite knife to use. My only concern is how do I keep it sharp? Neither the Wusthof two stage sharpener nor the sharpening tool that came with the set I have seem very effective?
