Great knife for quick jobs. Made with high quality German steel this knife and forged from one piece of steel, is extremely durable and will last a lifetime. Its super sharp and will get through even the toughest vegetables. Believe it or not its dishwasher safe.

I was looking for a smaller santoku because sometimes the 7 is too big for me when doing vegetable cuts. This 5 inch was perfect! It is a great value that is not made in China, which was a great selling point for us!

Doesn't feel like a value knife
Would RecommendThis little santoku could be your go-to for smaller fruits and veggies. With its 5" blade, it's easier to handle and the "dimples" help keep food from thinking to the blade. I have several family members that this is the main knife they use because an 8" chef is simply too big. Classic knives are as close as you can get to the knives made in Germany, at a more affordable price. They are forged from German steel and are made in Spain. The three rivet handle means they're perfectly weight, ...

Classic is great quality at a great price
Would RecommendHenckels Classic knives are made in Spain so they have a great price point but you still get all the highlights of specially formulated German Steel, forged bolster and balanced handle. These knives will retain their sharp edge longer, resist corrosion and stay chip and crack free. The hollow pockets on the edge of this chopping Santoku help keep the food from sticking as you slice.

You will love the way this Santoku 5" works and how well it cuts and slices. I like using the 5" more than the 7" as it feels better in my smaller hand and feels more comfortable. The hollow edge is great for having those veggies fall right off the knife. Keep this handy for all kinds of tasks.

From HENCKELS
If you like working with santoku knives, this smaller forged blade is perfect for chopping and mincing smaller foods. The innovative hollow edge divets will keep food out of your way by guiding it up and off of the knife. The Classic handles are pretty comfortable too so if you're in it for the long haul, you won't have to worry about your hand getting tired.
