If I had to stop using my ten-inch chef’s knife, this is the knife I’d use to replace it. It’s a comfortable and well-balanced santoku with an upswept tip so I can use it almost the same way as use my larger blade. This style is also available with an eight-inch blade [FX514] with the same metal handle and in seven-inch [FUR827] and five-inch [FUR826] versions with a rubber-coated plastic handle. Note: I consider the five-inch version too short to be truly useful.
