Title: A great foray into the world of santoku knives
Review: This was the first santoku that I have ever used, and it has been a wonderful experience thus far. The grip is nice and wide, fitting my fairly large hands easily. The heft of the knife leaves a bit to be desired, though this may be alleviated if I had purchased a longer blade. The metal itself feels sturdy in my fingertips and is slightly flexible on the x-axis, though only with a fair amount of pressure applied. The blade itself is well honed and cut through meats with ease. The spine of the knife has a bit of a bite on either edge, but you are able to apply pressure with your palm without hurting yourself. The blade won't generate enough force to cut through anything terribly thick in a single stroke, but with constant and firm pressure, even the toughest meats will be cleft in twain. I can't give a 5, as this does feel like a beginner's knife (and rightfully so), though for the price it is a must have. Oxo has satisfied me once again.
