Great knife
"Fantastic knife, I wish I would've known about this knives before. This knifes are very sharp out of the box and feel very comfortable on your hands. Also, transparency is very important when buying anything, Messermeister is clear about everything related to the knife and their customer services is fantastic. I plan on continue to grow my knife set with their products."

Good enough for now.
"It’s good enough for me right now. Holds an edge decently. Weight is just right for control. I’ll be looking for a santoku with better steel at some point."
— Rick G. (3/5)
Would like to try before buy
"I bought this knife and just did not like the feel of the handle. It was too "dainty" as if it needed to be used with fingertips. I am sure it would cut well but did not try simply because it did not feel right in my hand."
— Les D. (4/5)
