I have been looking for a Christmas present for my father, and I thought I would buy him a really nice kitchen knife. He does all the cooking in his house, and has never really had a decent knife or set of knifes. All the knifes he has owned before have been cheapo department store knifes. The weird thing is he knows all about knives, and if I asked, he would show me a whole bunch of knives he would be interested in, but then again, that would ruin the present.
Anyways, I have been looking at the Santoku knives, and to me they look like a good all purpose knife. Plus its the only knife you ever see being used on the Food Network..... Anyways, I bought him a Henkel Four-Star Santoku, but im really not pleased, and I think im going to return it and go for something better.
I have been reading all over the net on knives and people keep saying that Henkel and Wustof Knives are the common or cheap mans knives unless your willing to shell out the cash for some of their professional series knives. Is that true?
Can someone recommend a good Santoku knife, that is sharp and will stay sharp for a good while? I have never owned one myself, in fact I really don't know much about knifes to begin with, and their are so many brands I have no idea whats out there and whats good. I just grabbed that Henkel knife while I was hitting the after thanksgiving sale without thinking.
Also can someone recommend a good set of sharpening stones?
Thanks in advance for any help
