Kuhn Rikon 26670 Colori+ Non-Stick Large Santoku Knife with Safety Sheath, 27.5 cm, Black

I'm used to using BIG knives as I was a Butcher by trade. As I love cooking I decided I would buy a Santoku knife and saw this on a list of recommendations as a budget Chef's Santoku which apparently lasts for a long time before needing sharpening. Well once I received it I decided to bleach it then debone a T-Bone steak so that the Sirloin could cook for longer than the fillet (I always sucker myself into buying T-Bones knowing this problem lol) and using this knife it was a doddle. This is one seriously sharp knife and although it doesn't have a tang which would encourage thoughts of better longevity it is seriously good value at the price I paid. There's not a lot more to say really other than again I will reiterate that for me the blade is a little small. If they did a larger version of this I would not hesitate to purchase the larger version, although for most people I should think this size is probably perfect. Hence full marks as my personal preference should by no way detract from the obvious quality of this knife.

A very very sharp knife so be carefulleasy to clean and store

I bought this specifically because people said it was good for cutting sweet potatoes (these are an absolute nightmare to cut yourself!). I have never had a santoku knife before but I am a convert and will be purchasing more of these as my main knives in future. This is so much easier to use than a chef's knife due to the santoku shape; it makes cutting so much more effortless, less pressure needed and honestly it just glides through most things like butter. I also really like the guard that it comes with.

Such good value for money. This is my second Kuhn knife and they are sharp, cut easily and last very well

Does the job if you keep it sharp, handle is just a tad too small but I'd rarely use the same knife for long enough for it to become uncomfortable anyway.

For the price, this knife has served me well,it's stayed sharp for months - has been used to cut meats, vegetables + a few bones.All purpose, with a great sheath. 5/5 nothing negative about it.

Before I bought this knife I was ready to spend substantially more on a Global one, just before I ordered that I thought I'd try this knife. I'm very pleased I did, the knife is sharp and cuts through meat / salad / veg with easy.The knife feels great in the hand and the blade is just the right length.

Such a good knife for such a good price!! Its great that it comes with a cover too as we keep ours in the drawer rather than a knife block.

Excellent knife, easy to use and easy to clean. Plastic cover keeps it sharp.Nice color red too.

Bequem und scharf. gut für Gemüse

Bin begeistert. Größe, Handling, Optik, Preis und Funktion sind unschlagbar. Habe ein Messer gesucht, dass ich ohne Sorgen meinen Gästen überlassen kann oder das ich auch selbst in der Campingkiste mitnehmen kann (auch gut, falls es in der Ferienwohnung am Ziel nichts vernünftiges gibt). Zum Transport ist die Messerscheide total praktisch.

Kuhn Rikon makes fabulous knives and are great quality for the price.The handle is comfortable and I can use it for quite a length of time without my wrist and hand complaining.My kitchen is accented in red and we have a magnetic bar for all our knives to live on. We own 2 Kuhn Rikons now and they are attractive enough to keep out of the drawer and handy.I suspect these will last almost as long as more expensive knives, but at a fraction of the cost to do the same thing. 😁

I love this brand of knives! I have 6 different types, as well as the pie/cake cutters, can opener, and peeler! I seriously love how well-made Kuhn Rikon products are (and I love that they all come in red!).I originally bought my first knife based on reviews of how well they cut EVERYTHING! And it's true, they work really well. I have some very expensive knives in my collection, and these work just as well. And they are red (I love having red in my kitchen!). I've used this knife on nearly everything I have to cut in the kitchen, and have been happy with the results.My first knife I've had for nearly 6 years, and it is still working amazingly well. I would probably say it's starting to dull a little bit, but I use that knife a lot, so that's not really a surprise. For example, I used to be able to gently set the blade on a tomato, and it would start slicing through like a hot knife on butter--now, I have to apply a little pressure for it to start cutting through the tomato. So really, they still work really well after all this time. I'm slowly starting to replace my other knives with these... the only thing slowing my full replacement is that not all the knives I want are in red yet (no matter, I'll just wait :) ).If you are looking for a sharp, stylish knife that won't break the bank, please look into this knife, and others that are in the Kuhn Rikon inventory. I haven't been disappointed by one yet.
