JA Henckel Twin Cuisine vs. Shun Santoku?
I have the chance to get a pretty good deal on knives, and I'm struggling. I'm right handed, with small to medium hands. I'd like a new santoku, preferably with a 7-inch blade. The store I can get the deal at (Le Gourmet Chef) has a nice JA Henckel Twin Cuisine 7" santoku with the little divots in the sides and a Shun santoku without the divots (don't know if it has any special variety name), It's about time I got a great knife, and I'm looking for recommendations! The Henckel handle felt really nice - it fit right into my palm with its curved handle. The Shun handle didn't seem as stable for me, but perhaps the blade makes up for the handle and the extra price? The store doesn't have a big selection of knives - it's pretty much either Wustoff Classic, Henckel Twin Cuisine, or Shun.
JA Henckel is one of the best Kitchen Knife companies in the world. my biggest complaint is the handles. they seem much more fitted to your hand than mine. go with the Henckel, for sure.
the little divots on the side help things to slide off the blade, and to help the blade slide through meat, and especially fish, smoothly. you want the divots.
