Love the Mini Santoku 5" knife

Great for chopping small foods such as onions, shallots, garlic, chilies, etc. I love to cook and I have a large set of G&W knives but this knife is a must!

Great knife!

I borrowed a friend's knife and knew I had to get one. He said of all the knives he has, he always picks this one up. It is well balanced and holds an edge.

First time buyer

I never bought one of their knives before. First time I placed the knife in my hand it felt very well-made and comfortable in my hand. Im using this to cut limes and lemons in the bar which I do a lot of. As of today they cut beautifully. Now well see how long this edge stays sharp. Im hoping it lasts for a long time. Will update review in a month after I cut several thousands of limes and lemons with my 5 knife.

Invited to dinner and they were using this knife in their kitchen. First I thought it was the prettiest kitchen jewelry I've seen in a while. When she put me to work using this knife I knew I had to have one! Perfectly balanced and felt so good in my hand.
