Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MAC brand Santoku Knife w/Bolster (#MSK65)
Customer Review: Not for non-knife freaks!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a professional cook and I LOVE this knife- but also, I can see why this knife might give some people problems. I love its extreme agility- it has a wonderful, lively action which is highly suited to very fast yet precise cutting. It is incredibly sharp, and the granton edge performs well. It is everything a santoku should be. I used a Shun for a long time until I realised that it was just too thick to produce the kind of precision cuts I needed to make.
And this is where the problem lies- its blade is VERY thin, and it needs to be handled with care. I baby mine- I am ultra-careful about what I use it on, and when it's not in use it stays in a KnifeSafe blade cover. I have two ceramic rods and four different Japanese waterstones I use to keep it sharp. It's not an "all purpose" knife in any way, and I would not recommend it to anyone who is needing such a knife. And this includes professionals and home cooks alike.....anyone who is unable or unwilling to handle it with care. For more general use, I would recommend the Shun santoku with the granton edge- it is a thick, beefy knife that works well for most things. Or, for a more budget-friendly choice, try the Kai Wasabi santoku- it's an excellent, inexpensive workhorse.
