With its rather short blade length of 12 1/2 cm this knife is a practical tool for a wide range of fine and medium cutting operations. For rougher activities such as cutting large pieces of meat or a pumpkin but you should resort to a knife with a long blade and more weight.
Which brings me also equal to a reference for those interested:
This Santoku knife is relatively easy and not nearly as massive as its larger counterparts. Chicken or turkey can be divide so without resistance, with peppers or vegetables like you would have to exert slight pressure so that the sharp edge is accustomed confidently do their service.
I personally had the knife a little better liked if the focus (the case as here) would be more on the side of the blade and less on the side of the handle. Because the in no way affects the cutting ability of the knife, I give good conscience 5 Stars.
This Santoku you get good German quality with a price-performance ratio that can be proud of and that is typical of the company's products Gräwe.
