White Whale Santoku Knife



Understated yet GREAT knife

An unknown entity in the USA kitchen knife world, there is one thing people should know about Fallkniven: it is a fantastic knife brand – their designs are eminently functional and their materials always premium.


The “white whale” has a silly name, but is hands down an amazing kitchen knife: Santokus are eminently usable and do many things very well. And this Fallkniven 7 inch Santoku is the best I have owned and probably the end of the line for me (and I have owned a few): the steel is tops (VG-10), it is laminated, the blade is thin, the handle ergonomic. And you can sharpen this very easily to arm-hair shaving sharpness.


it is a joy to use. slicing and chopping – a very universal knife, joy to use knife. as an ambitioned amateur cook this is the knife i find myself using the most – very accurate and also very usable for bigger sloppier jobs. keep the edge sharp -on occasion, it is a very hard steel and doesn’t dull quickly- and it makes short work of anything…

TBCL Utility Knife 17 Centimeters

took a chance on these knives I think $100 knives are hype so I took a chance on these more moderately priced knives and I believe it was worth it. They are the most expensive knives I have and now I have two of the utility knives (did give one away though), one of the boning knife, and one of the 15cm kitchen knife. You have to be careful with these knives because once they start cutting they will slide through, so you have to have good control and positioning or will cut yourself. The bad is that the one 17cm utility knife I’m using came with a not so perfect blade though it’s still very sharp. It has like three tiny knicks that are hard to see. The blades are thinner then normal blades but I was hoping the material be harder then this. Another problem is that even after washing/drying the utility knife after every use there is a tiny spot on the blade with a small discoloration in the metal. I wonder if it was used for something it shouldn’t have been used for or maybe the crafting

Masanobu VG-10 Sujihiki 10.5″ (27cm) – Right

Masanobu sujijiki 10.5 Great knife. You get what you pay for with this one. Retains edge for long time. Easy to sharpen. Use only waterstone for best results. My buddy has the same knife and he used an oil stone and gave his steel a nice shine. Excuse my sarcasm. Anyway, if you have the money to spend, I would spend it on this one.
