Oxo 1064650 Good Grips Professional 6-1/2 Inch Santoku Knife

The Oxo 1064650 Good Grips Professional 6-1/2 Inch Santoku Knife is the perfect companion for any busy kitchen. An all-purpose knife, the Santoku knife is designed for chopping, mincing, slicing, and subsequently scooping up meats, vegetables, and fish. The term “santoku” is actually a reference to these three tasks that it is well known for.

The full-tang blade is made of sharp stainless steel and gives the knife proper balance, matched on one end by a black, ergonomically designed rubber handle proven to be non-slip. This means you will avoid unnecessary accidents with the secure and safe grip. It also has kullens running along the edge of the blade, which help reduce friction and therefore keeps food from sticking. Although this knife is dishwasher-safe, washing by hand in warm soapy water is still the more recommended care procedure, followed by thorough drying. The knife measures about 10.5 inches long and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Oxo 1064650 Good Grips Professional 6-1/2 Inch Santoku Knife Review:

The customers who reviewed this knife gave it an average rating of 4.4 stars. They loved how it was surprisingly light and well-balanced. It was found to be extremely sharp: one user reported that his wife accidentally cut off the tips of her fingernails with it! It was found to have a nice rocking motion for finely mincing garlic and other vegetables. The lightweight was also pinpointed as a way to let fast-moving chefs perform rapid chopping motions easily.

One of the reviewers who gave it a 5.0-star rating was a culinary-school educated stay-at-home mom who frequently cooked gourmet meals for her family and friends. She wound up falling in love with this knife, and said that she recommended it to all her family and friends. She also said that she would buy another one again “in a heartbeat.” One of the other reviewers also commended the knife for feeling great in the hand, and reported that it became his daily knife because of the perfect fit for his big hands. He also found it very easy to keep sharp at all times, and shared how he would give it five swipes on the sharpening rod after every use.

Other users reported having used the knife for over a year and it still remained as sharp as ever; one of them described it as “the best knife I have.” Another reviewer appreciated how the knife was still easy to grip even if her hands were wet or slimy. For the price, the knife was also commended for its tremendous value.

The only issue brought up by a disappointed user was one who said that he had no qualms about how the knife felt but was a little disappointed in its performance. He still gave it 3.0 stars nonetheless.

Based on the numerous customers who were inarguably happy with this Santoku knife, we would also highly recommend it to anyone looking for an all-purpose knife to deal with all kitchen responsibilities. You will not go wrong with the quality of this brand and for the price!
