Works like it should, handle surprisingly comfortable
It’s fits well in the hand, is super sharp, and performed flawlessly.
The Misen 8" Santoku Knife is built around AICHI AUS-10 Japanese steel, offering a Rockwell hardness of 58±2 and a 15° symmetrical edge — a combination that delivers reliable sharpness through repetitive prep work like julienning vegetables, slicing fish, or mincing herbs. The straighter blade profile encourages an efficient up-and-down chopping motion rather than the rocking style of a Western chef's knife, which many cooks find more intuitive for high-volume cutting tasks.
At 7.5 inches of blade length and just half a pound, this santoku sits in a comfortable middle ground — substantial enough for large produce, light enough for extended use without fatigue. The POM handle and sloped bolster encourage a natural pinch grip, which improves both control and safety. For cooks who want a slightly different profile, the 8" Chef's Knife (AUS-10) offers a more curved belly suited to rocking cuts. If you're building out your knife kit, pairing this santoku with a 5" Serrated Knife covers nearly every kitchen task from bread to delicate tomato slicing.
Care is straightforward: hand wash, dry immediately, and plan to sharpen every four to six months depending on use. Misen's mail-in sharpening service is available if you'd rather leave that step to the pros.
