I've been in the food service industry for many years, and have used countless brands of knives. For home use, I've used many of the top brands including Henckels, Wusthoff and Kershaw. The Calphalon Katana Santoku is simply the finest kitchen knife I've ever owned. The razor sharp blade retains its edge amazingly well, with minimal sharpening steel work. The knife is well balanced and light and a joy to handle.
Hand washing and drying are a must with a tool as fine as this.
