Exactly what we expected

The TANSUNG Japanese Santoku Knife is a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, affordable kitchen knife. The knife is made of high-carbon stainless steel that is both durable and sharp. It also has a comfortable, ergonomic handle that makes it easy to grip and use.The Santoku knife is a versatile knife that can be used for a variety of tasks, including chopping, slicing, and mincing. It is also dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean.In my opinion if you are looking for a high-quality, affordable kitchen knife, the TANSUNG Japanese Santoku Knife is a great option.

The media could not be loaded.  The knife comes in a beautiful presentation box so would actually make a nice gift. The knife itself is made of carbon stainless steel and is attractive in design. The knife is well balanced and cuts well but as others have mentioned, the edge of the blade doesn’t run the full length. It cuts well through fruit, veg, fish and meat. This is a good addition to any kitchen.

With some things in life you really do get what you pay for and knives are one of those things, and let's face it, £15.99 (at time of review) for a 7" stainless steel Santoku knife is definitely a budget price.The listing states "Japanese Santoku knife" and "German high carbon stainless steel". Whether deliberate or not the word Japanese could be considered a little misleading and lead one to believe the knife was made in Japan which is not accurate as it says Made in China on the packaging. I think it is pointing at the fact the Santoku knife design originated in Japan but worded to make the buyer assume they're getting a Japanese blade. As for the origin of the steel being Germany, I would have to question this as German steel, along with Japanese steel, is considered to be top notch. Only extended use will prove the accuracy of the statement and I may yet be surprised.The knife comes well packaged in a box which is "pretty" enough that it could be given as a gift. The knife itself looks very nice, has a bit of weight, and is pretty sharp straight out of the box but I like to spend a while on a stone and steel to make it my own. Once I'd honed the edge I wanted it was quite lovely to use and easily cut soft fruit and veg accurately and without any deformation of the flesh. Very fresh tomatoes and cucumber especially can look terrible if cut with a dull knife. The dimples do their job well and the majority of the food falls away from the blade as it should. It holds its sharp edge very well but I always like to spend 30 seconds on the steel prior to each session just to make life easier and get the best presentation. I do like my food to look good.Overall, for its price, I think it's remarkably good and would be perfect for a family kitchen. I can recommend it with the proviso that you will need to keep on top of the sharpening but this is true for all steel knives.

The media could not be loaded.  Due to the all-metal construction of this Tansung Santoku knife there is no tang or rivets that often become loose and render a knife useless. The balance is very good and the edge, as delivered, is quite sharp. There does not need any special sharpening requirements, just a normal kitchen sharpener. The all-black finish is particularly striking.I was so pleased with this Santoku knife I sent for a chef’s knife also by Tansung.

i have used this knife 5 times since purchasing it 2 weeks ago and there hasn't been a time I haven't almost cut my finger off. Knife is sharp and cuts like butter

Gute Qualität und sehr scharf!

A sharp kitchen knife makes all the difference to cooking prep.  Sure, you can hack away with a butter knife, but you'll be miserable doing so.This knife may not be the sharpest I've ever used, but out the box it was VERY sharp and made quick, quality, cuts in all the meat and vegetables I tested it with.  I felt the handle could have been a little heavier to balance it out more to my liking - but knife balance is a very personal issue, and I was not so concerned about that enough to mark it down at all.   The blade scallops were well ground and positioned, and I do think they helped it to get the thin vegetable cuts I wanted to see in my testing.  After a week of use I ran it over my whetstone, and it acquired the sharpness that I truly needed.I really liked the look of the knife, and I think the darker blade coating gives it a stylish quality.   While I'm not swayed by aesthetics over function, I could easily see giving this as a gift to someone and it standing out a bit from their other kitchen utensils.This knife arrived well protected in its insert inside the box and had a plastic tip cover, along with an easily removed plastic sleeve along the blade length.

Sterne ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ von 5Das Messer wird gut sehr verpackt und sehr schnell geliefert.Es ist ein typisches Santoku-Messer. Es hat einen gerader Messerrücken, der eine Linie mit dem Griff bildet und die sehr breite, vorn abgerundete Klinge.Es ist komplett schwarz, was mir persönlich sehr gut gefällt.Nicht nur die Schneide ist aus Edelstahl, sondern auch der Griff, wobei dieser aber zusätzlich mit einer schwarzen Schutzschicht versehen ist, um Oxidationen durch Wärme oder Handschweiß zu verhindern. Die Haptik ist sehr gut und auch der Halt des Messers ist, durch die eingezogenen Fugenrillen sehr angenehm.Es hat ein Eigengewicht von 465 Gramm. Das ist nicht zu leicht und nicht zu schwer.Die Klinge selbst ist 18 cm und der ergonomische Griff 13 cm lang. Das Santokumesser ist ein typisch japanisches Küchenmesser, dessen Hauptmerkmal die breite und wohlproportionierte Klinge ist, die sich für verschiedene Zwecke wie das Zerkleinern von Fleisch, Fisch und Gemüse eignet. Es ist wie das klassische, westliche "Kochmesser", nur die Spitze ist runder und gebogener.Es liegt sehr gut in der Hand und die Balance ist sehr ausgewogen. Das ist wichtig. Denn wenn man viel schneiden muss, gibt es keine Ermüdungserscheinungen. Das weiß man aber erst zu schätzen, wenn man über die Jahre auch schon sehr schlecht ausbalancierte oder Billigmesser benutzt hat 😅. Da die Messerklinge sehr scharf ist, kann ich ohne viel Druck Obst, Gemüse und auch Fleisch zügig zubereiten. Das gefällt mir sehr gut.Mit dem Allzweckmesser bekomme ich, mühelos und sauber, selbst die zartesten Lebensmittel klein, ohne sie zu Quetschen. Hier braucht man wirklich ganz wenig Druck.Tip:Gute Messer gehören nicht in die Spülmaschine, sondern sollten immer nur per Hand abgewaschen und gespült werden. Das erhöht die Langlebigkeit eines Messers enorm.⭐️ Fazit ⭐️Absolut faires Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.Da ich Köchin gelernt habe, habe ich über meine Berufsjahre und auch zu Hause viele Erfahrungen machen können und dürfen. Es gab viele schlechte, aber auch sehr viele gute Messer. Dieses gehört definitiv zu den besseren in meiner Küche.Außerdem hat es ein 2 Jahre After-Sales-Service (ab dem Datum des ursprünglichen Kaufes). Ich bin sehr zufrieden und daher gibt es von mir auch die wohlverdienten ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sterne und auch eine klare Kaufempfehlung.Ich hoffe sehr, meine Rezension war für Dich hilfreich und ich konnte Dich bei Deiner Entscheidung unterstützen.~ Rezension von M. ~

The knife looks good and feels fine in the hand. Wish there was some more weight to the handle though. The knife came sharp without any defects and cuts well. No real complaints yet. will have to see how it is with more use and how the longevity of this knife will be.
