Ishikari 5" Santoku Knife 三徳包丁

Solid set overall, really happy with the purchase. The blades hold an edge way longer than my old knives. Only thing is the handles are a bit thicker than I expected, but my wife likes em. I use the santoku the most for slicing tomatoes. Wish they offered a slightly longer version in the set, like a 7 inch, but for $80 its a steal. Would buy again.

These knives are legit sharp out of the box. Got the 5 inch santoku and the other knives in the set, and they make chopping veggies feel effortless. The octagonal handle is comfortable in my hand, took a day to get used to but now I love it. Used the smaller knife for trimming fat and the santoku for dicing onions, no tears cause its so sharp. Great value for a set this price.

So Ive had these Ishikari knives for about 3 weeks now and I'm honestly blown away. The santoku is perfect for dicing onions and vegetables, slicing through tomatoes like butter. But the smaller paring knife in the set is what I use most for fruit and stuff. They come in a real nice box too. For 80 bucks this is a steal compared to the Wusthof set I was eyeing.

Got the whole set for my wife's birthday and shes been using them nonstop for like a month now. The 5 inch santoku is her favorite but the bigger chef knife is what I grab when I'm cooking. Seriously sharp out of the box and they still feel like new. The handles are pretty too I like the wood grain.

They're decent knives. Do the job. I was maybe expecting a bit more for the price? They're fine, just not amazing. The set is complete which is nice.

Bought this set for my husband who loves to cook. He uses a different one every night. His favorite is the smaller one for detail work. They look really classy on the magnetic strip too.

These are alright. I use the santoku mostly, its a good size. The other one doesn't get much use. They're good but not great. Probably wouldn't buy them again, but I'll use them until I upgrade.

Positive overall. The knives perform well, the santoku is a workhorse. I just wish the set came with a pairing knife too, would have made it perfect. Still, I use them all the time.

Good value for a full set. They cut great. The handles are nice but I think I'd prefer a slightly more rounded shape. That's just me being picky though, they're definitely good knives.

I gifted this set to my son for his first apartment. He said they make cooking fun and he's actually using them. That's a win in my book. The santoku is his favorite too.

These knives are fantastic. I use the santoku for almost everything, veggies, fruit, even some light boneless meat prep. The other knives in the set are just as good. They came super sharp and have stayed that way for a month now.

So I've had these knives for about a month now, using them almost every day. The sharpness is insane, like I cant believe I was using those old dull knives for so long. I use the smaller one in the set for fruit and the bigger one for meats, it just covers everything I need. They feel solid and the handles are really comfortable, even when my hands are wet.

Really like these knives, they're super sharp and look great on my magnetic strip. My only thing is the handles are a little more squared off than I'm used to, took a few days to get comfortable with the grip. But now that I am, they're fantastic. The set has everything I need, no more digging through a drawer for the right tool.

Solid knives. The edge retention is good. They are a tad heavier than I expected based on the description, but its not a dealbreaker. I'd recommend them, just be aware of the heft.

Got this set as a housewarming gift for my sister and she absolutely loves it. She's a home cook and says the different sizes are perfect for everything from chopping herbs to breaking down a chicken breast. The santoku is her favorite for veggies, says it glides through onions. They came in a nice box too, looked really classy.
