A friend of mine is looking for a good Santoku for cooking. Although I could make many suggestions for him on great camp knife/prybar/hammers I know little of kitchen knives. If anyone could suggest a maker, production or custom, it would be appreciated. What would the price range be? He fully expects to pay 100+ for a good knife but would rather pay more if it means he gets the very best.
Thanx in advance for any help.
 
I have an older Spyderco santoku that has done always performed beautifully. that's the only model I've had personal experience with.
 
All I have used is the Wustoff 8" - my go to knife in the kitchen for anything needing slicing where that blade is long enough. Invariably . . .
 
I agree with Reeek. The Wusthoff is a real nice slicer. It did not have the best edge when I got, but that can be remedied easily.
 
Shun Santoku. My one and only. Great handling, beautiful, cuts like a dream.
I get a bladegasm whenever i use it.

(Get the Shun)
 
if you are looking for custom....look no further than Mike Snody...................

Shun, or a custom from Dan Koster. I have both, and they are exceptional knives.
 
Look into Misono if you want stiff, thin and light slicer. I hear their UX10 line is popular with the pro's. I have a set of their lower cost line and their awesome. Some of the online chef sites have them on sale in the $160 range.
 
Excelent advice guys I will pass it on. He is looking for "hollow edge" and I dont think he can do wrong with the Shun or Misono. I will pass it on.
