Hampton Forge Essencut Argentum Clear Blade Guard Santoku Knife, 7, Stainless Steel

I bought one of these several years ago from wal mart. It has been my favorite knife. It fits my hand and is lightweight and well balanced. I recently bought another for work because I enjoy using it so much. I could not imagine spending the ridiculous amount of money some people do for knives. I sharpen my home knife once a month with a stone and the one at work gets sharpened once a week with a sanding style sharpener. They both perform just as well as new. If you think this is not a good product because it's "cheap" you should reconsider. The knife in the pic is my home knife that is approx 3 years old and has made many meals for my family.

This knife is designed nicely. It has some weight to it, and arrived fully intact. The protective sleeve that it came in appears to be made of strong plastic. I haven't used it yet, but if the posting allows for an update, I will give feedback once I've given it a go.

This holds the edge a long time. Price point is excellent for a knife of this quality. As good as my high end knives. I wish it came in a slightly smaller size as I use it for chopping all the time and it is a substantial piece for that. Rarely use my other knives anymore 🙄🙄🙄. I rarely sharpen it.

I like Hampton Forge's grip ergonomics. They're comfortable and all metal, so bacteria shouldn't be an issue, and if you're a casual at-home cook who doesn't need a professional chef's or santoku knife, then these will do fine. But this knife is probably the dullest/bluntest new knife I've ever bought. I had to sharpen it before I could actually cut an apple (there was no sharp edge to hone). A few moments with my whetstone and it's able to slice paper. Hopefully it'll hold an edge.Can't really complain considering it was under $20.

I should have paid more attention to the measurements. This is a larger knife than I desired - I already have a couple of good knives that are the same size. But, I wanted a Santoku-style knife, so I kept it. It's really quite beautiful with the red handle. Its sharpness is impressive and can even easily cut through a tomato without squishing it. I do a lot of vegetable chopping and this is wonderful for that.It's a little on the hefty side due to the well-made handle. I'd prefer one a little lighter, but definitely can recommend this knife.

It’s has weight to it but it cuts nicely and it’s a beautiful knife. Very sharp

I received one of these knives as a gift and loved it so much. When cooking with my partner, we’d argue who got to use it for prep work. I decided to find it online prepared to pay some $$$ but it’s so affordable!

Long-lasting and fantastic.
