J.A. Henckels International Henckels Classic 7-Inch Santoku Knife with Hollow Edge Review

I'm a fan of the Spanish-made Henckel's Int'l Classic lines. I have the bread knife and the utility knife as well. I think the major budget concessions (as these are not the high-end German-made line) comes in the size. Classic blades, though full-tang and thrice-riveted, have less steel than comparable brands. This makes them slender and light in the hand. However, less steel is not lower-quality steel, and these blades are incredibly hard and reliable.
This santoku is still large enough to use as a spatula when cutting, delivering onions, mushrooms or other slices or mince to the pan while cooking speedily. It sharpens easily (I use a small stone under running water), and responds well to a steel every few uses. It's the sharpest blade in my collection, easily slicing up my sponges when I clean it. With care, it won't do the same to your skin, mostly because of the sturdiness of construction that breeds confident handling. It won't slide off most vegetables before slicing in, and can even cleave small poultry bones with slow and steady pressure downward (I wouldn't use it to hack as real cleavers do). This is a precision instrument, not a blunt tool.

When you've got a big prep job, this 7-inch Henckels Classic Santoku knife will get the job done quickly and precisely. The Asian-style Santoku knife has broad blade and especially sharp cutting edge, and it's a great companion for preparing meat, fish, and vegetables. All Henckels Santoku knives have a fine-polished razor edge that gives them their typical sharpness, and a hollow edge that is ideal for extra thin cutting.
Part of the J.A. Henckels International Classic cutlery series, this knife features a commercial design that's hot drop forged for durability, strength and weight. Made of a non-staining carbon steel, it's hand honed to a precision cutting edge. The triple riveted handle surrounds a full tang. Together with a full bolster, this handle provides proper balance to safely and comfortably execute even the most difficult cutting tasks. It's backed by a lifetime warranty against defects in material and/or craftsmanship. Handwashing with mild cleanser recommended.

J.A. Henckels International Classic 8-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife Review

It's important to note that this knife is not made in Germany (the 4 Star, 5 Star, and Pro-S series are).
I started my good knife collection with a set of 3 of these International Classic knives. I later decided to get a larger set (9) of the 4 Star series, some of the finest knives in the world. However, I prefer this chef's knife over the 4 Star one. The grip is heavier and makes the balance a bit nicer.
For the paring knife, I much prefer the 4 Star one, so I wouldn't recommend the set of 3, but this knife is great. I use it all the time. If you are starting out on a knife collection, I recommend these things:
-a 4 Star 3-inch paring knife (or 2 if you are lazy with clean-up)
-this Chef's knife
-a cheap and large bread knife
-a medium sized 5-6in utility knife (good quality)
-a honing steel (good quality)
-a wood block to put them in (good knives should not be shoved into a drawer with other knives)
-[optional]a carving set of knife and fork, if you need carving utensils (I don't much)
I'd weigh the cost of these together against getting a more expensive set (if you are on a budget).
