ZWILLING Five Star 7-inch Santoku Knife - Visual Imperfections is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 66.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quickly became my go-to knife! I have a pretty large collection of Four Star knives, including the 7 inch rocking santoku and the five inch santoku, but took a knife skills class at Williams Sonoma where I fell in love with the large Santoku as an everyday alternative to a chefs knife. I settled on the Five Star Santoku based on my new knowledge of proper knife grip and although I generally enjoy collecting cookware, I truly love this knife and feel like I have finally found what I have been looking for! I've cooked dozens of meals with this knife and it still makes me happy every time I pick it up!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent purchase All my life I thought it was naturally difficult to cut through raw meat with my generic knives I bought at a discount store. Then I treated myself to the Zwilling Henckels self-sharpening knife set and the Santoku knife. OMG, the knife literally cut through a chicken quarter like butter. I will never deny myself an excellent quality product to save money again. This was definitely worth it to buy. I just wish I bought the full tang instead of the partial tang, just because I want the best now. But I must admit, the partial tang with the ergonomic handle does feel good in my arthritic hands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome knife! I bought it with a little hesitation because of the imperfections. I did read the other reviews and most everyone said they didn’t see any blemishes. Mine arrived today and had a minor blemish on the handle, yet the blade was perfect. I am completely happy with the knife I received and have no issues with the handle. This thing is amazing and I am proud to own the beautiful piece of culinary art! Thank you for the producing such a quality product, will never buy anything else but Zwilling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A very sharp Santoku knife! Five Star is the best! Everyone I know who has this Five Star Santoku knife loves it. Handle is slightly longer because it has no corner, an open-end handle is convenient. Without a barrier towards the end especially for someone who has bigger hands, this offers full control of this sharp knife and less fatigue. It is an ergonomically comfortable handle in the hand, a stays sharp blade even after a few years and used it for every cutting needs. Indention on the blade creates barrier between the steel and the food, preventing food from sticking. It is forged from a single piece of solid steel, high carbon special NO STAIN steel, and dishwasher safe, however, it is recommended to hand wash knives to keep its sharpness and its pristine condition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing! We got this knife with the understanding it might have some visual imperfections. We bought two knifes and both were fantastic. This knife is nice and light, but it sliced through frozen hunk of bacon in 3 seconds. It is a beautiful knife, we cannot find any visual issues or scratches. This bad boy is our new favorite knife and we already bought a second one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Knife is sharp. Be careful I bought the knife for both of my step daughters. I did use them and found them to be very sharp. I did find that they were a little blade light. The balance is definitely toward the handle, not something that would make me regret give the knife to them. I would say that this is a great knife for thin slicing, but a little light for heavy chopping, that being said it did cut through some acorn squash without problem. One of the step daughter did cut herself washing the knife, so be careful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 5 Star Santoku knife with blemishes The knife came without a box and was advertised as having blemishes. Well, I don’t care about the lack of a box. And, I am a bit of a perfectionist but if there are any blemishes on this excellent piece of cutlery, I cannot find them. What a deal! I’ll be shopping at the outlet again in the near future!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome knives I bought some open stock Zwilling Four Star and one Five Star knife to complete my Four Start starter set. They are by far the best knives I’ve ever owned. Absolutely razor sharp and maintain their edge well.
