Engineer’s Perspective
The Victorinox Grand Maitre 6.7” Santoku is a competitive option that offers quality and materials comparable to German manufacturers. It's comfortable and inspires confidence, but may not be as slicey as true Japanese blades or some Wusthof offerings.
Pros
- • Good cutting geometry
- • Handles are super comfortable
- • Heft and comfortable, sure grip inspire confidence
- • Matches quality and materials of German knife manufacturers
- • Steel is super easy to sharpen
Cons
- • Handle-heavy (according to a comment)
- • Not as slicey as other options (true Japanese blades or Wusthof)
- • Steel is soft, requires regular honing
