Classic 7" Hollow Edge Santoku

I was pleasantly surprised by how balanced this knife feels—the weight is perfect for quick chopping. It minced a whole head of garlic in seconds flat.

I was skeptical about the hollow edge gimmick, but after a week of prepping, it actually does keep herbs from sticking to the blade. The 7-inch size feels perfectly balanced for my hand, and it handles mincing garlic and dicing onions with zero effort.

The hollow edge really helps keep thin slices from sticking to the blade, which makes dicing herbs and shallots so much faster. It's lightweight but feels well-balanced, and the blade is sharp right out of the box.
