New knife, cheap.

Andy said:

Another "it's been years purchase."

Bought a J.A. Henckel 7" Santoku knife at Target on sale for $7.68.

It's stamped "Fine Edge Pro" German stainless steel 31427-180 (7"😉 Made
in China.

I like the shape of the blade for slicing and dicing. It feels good in
my hand but maybe a little light.

It's one-piece stamped stainless with triple rivet polypropolene handle.

You're probably saying "Cheap thrills, Andy!" Maybe, but I've never
minced an onion finer in my life. Just hope it holds an edge longer than
my oldies.

Andy

I don't know if that brand is famous where you are, but it certainly is
here.

What a deal!!! I paid $80 for my Wusthof Classic earlier this summer
and I think it's a bit light too. I coulda saved $70+. :/

It's a very well known brand. I thought he left off a number until I
looked it up.

Probably made from the SS brewing kegs stolen from my yard last month.

I got these two knives for $10 total.

which shows $76.99 now

I have a complete set of Wusthof knives which I bought in Europe 30+ years
ago and they are still going strong, but no Wusthof santoku knife, so I
bought this 2-knife deal. I use the small knife, but the santoku is a
little large for my hands. I prefer two or three other vegetable knives I
have instead. My husband will use the santoku, but prefers our other older
vegetable knives.

Good find. I'm sure it will work as well as the Made in Germany version.

Target also has a set of 6 or 7 all stainless steel Henckels on clearance
for $40. Made in Japan. These have handles that are stainless steel too.
I guess this style wasn't so popular.

I just paid 14.99 for the 7.5 inch version - awesome knife.

GAK!
Knowing I paid way too much for a knife I am barely luke warm about
makes me feel awful right now.

I still don't understand the alure of santoku. Maybe it's like a
radical software upgrade: after you get to know it, you will love
it... but I'm not there yet.

I will let you try mine, if I get thataway.... I have two of them...

I still love my Sabatier chef's knives the best...the high carbon
steel. Looking for more... I got those for a song back in the mid
70's...

You're "twisting the knife", Christine!

I am?

You like Sabatier knives? I like them a lot. They seem to fit my
small hands better than the other knives..although I have my eyes on
another chef's knife now...

And yes, they rust. But they hold an incredible edge...

I'm always a sucker for a sale on stainless knives. But after using my
broken down carbon steel knife for years and years, there is nothing like
carbon steel (not stainless carbon).
I wish my original set 30 years ago of Wusthof had been carbon. Lucky you!

Actually carbon steel knives *take* an incredible edge, but they don't
"hold" an edge well, gotta steel often.
