Great

I called first as I had several questions. Was given great recommendations and information in order to steer me to the right appropriate knives. I’ve been using Gunter Wilhelm knives for over twenty years. They’re perfect. Have lasted beautifully through all the years. Would not buy anything else. This knife is perfect. Feels great in the hand and cuts like a gem

Love the Mini Santoku 5" knife

Great for chopping small foods such as onions, shallots, garlic, chilies, etc. I love to cook and I have a large set of G&W knives but this knife is a must!

Great knife!

I borrowed a friend's knife and knew I had to get one. He said of all the knives he has, he always picks this one up. It is well balanced and holds an edge.

First time buyer

I never bought one of their knives before. First time I placed the knife in my hand it felt very well-made and comfortable in my hand. Im using this to cut limes and lemons in the bar which I do a lot of. As of today they cut beautifully. Now well see how long this edge stays sharp. Im hoping it lasts for a long time. Will update review in a month after I cut several thousands of limes and lemons with my 5 knife.

Invited to dinner and they were using this knife in their kitchen. First I thought it was the prettiest kitchen jewelry I've seen in a while. When she put me to work using this knife I knew I had to have one! Perfectly balanced and felt so good in my hand.
