Product Information

Santuko Knife 16cm.Your go to knife when you need a light weight blade for the more delicate jobs. Slicing salmon or chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing

Being a house with a few vegetarians included, over a 4 week period, the Chef's knife, Utility knife, Paring knife and Bread knife are the common daily ones used. We haven't tried the Santoku knife as yet, but there is such a good range of "weapons" in this set. These are certainly by far the best knives we have ever used. The cleaning and maintenance instructions are on the side of the box. I had to put on two pairs of glasses for enough magnification to read them. I’ve taken a photo of them, so I won’t have to bother with the box again. (Basically, handwash with a non-abrasive sponge and dry carefully.) I found the paring knife extremely handy; I have been using it for stripping insulation off very thin cables. Compared to a utility knife, the balanced weight helps with precision required. I have found that all recipes are more successful if the food prep is undertaken with some skill and care beforehand and it is much easier to score wins when you have suitable tools and appliances to work with. This maxim is very true for chefs (or home cooks): “A sharp knife is a chef's best friend”

I have become more aware of how I dice and slice meat and vegetables using these knives, as I don’t like to end up cutting my pinky (like the poor guy in Four Rooms). The blades are made of German steel, and they blend into the handle nicely. This transfers the center of balance towards your hand, making it much easier to hold each knife, and getting into a rhythm for chopping and slicing. The ergonomic handles give a comfortable and secure grip and the German stainless steel blades are hard-wearing and durable. The 12cm utility knife is useful for cutting fruits, but I often find myself reaching for the chef's knife as I pref ... Read more er the feel of a larger implement. The 9cm paring knife seems somewhat superfluous and I don't find it offers much difference from the slightly larger utility knife.

The knives have a satin-like finish and I have found that when cleaning them, water spots and other marks are not removed very well. They almost need polishing after cleaning, or at least drying straight away and not left to dry on their own. Each of these knives are precise with the cut with minimum force, merely just holding them and the weight of the body and blade does the work - except for the bread knife of course but that slices loaves extremely well. Jamie Oliver and Tefal make the perfect food pairing. Jamie brings the passion and food knowledge; Tefal provides the technology and performance. Together they've proudly made quality, trusted products for nearly two decades that make cooking from scratch a real joy. They're the smart choice for feel-good food. Kitchen knives are one of the most used but often under-appreciated of our daily tools. Good quality knives, apart from being a matter of safety also have a feel-good factor. I’ve always used good quality knives including Wusthof, Glove and Victorinox.

Innovatively designed for those needing versatility and space-saving features

I received this set as part of the Ambassador program. At first, I was skeptical, as I usually steer clear of products endorsed or recommended by celebrities, but the quality of the knives themselves changed my mind.
