Comment:
After having them for over a year the only bad thing I could say is they addvertized that they didn't dull<br />well the reasion I got these was because I like SHARP<br />and after some use these get dull in my book but it doesn't take much to get them sharp again. I don't mind sharping a knife if you aren't having to do it all the time and these hold an edge well and sharpen quick.<br />Now for the feel I love them they feel well made, not like cheep junk. they clean up well they are holding up very well so far. I don't have a bad thing to say would highly recamend.

7" Santoku perfect except for handle

Pros
Good Balance
Quality Construction
Stays Sharp
Cons

Comment:
The 7 santoku cuts like a dream and holds an edge well. The blade is thinner than my heavy chef's knife, so it slices through soft materials like bread, cheese, or soft vegetables more easily, though it might not hold up to tough root vegetables or joints of meat. My only quibble is the handle, which is relatively skinny and stick-like, quite a change from my regular knife (a Cuisinart with forged blade.)
