Lakeland Select-Grip Japanese Steel Santoku Knife 12cm Blade

I only ever use these size knives for food preparation as I find them so much easier than the little knives I have and don't use anymore. My current one is nearly 30 years old now and still works but has a few minor chips on the blade now. This new one is lovely to use and hold and does not feel awkward as I am so used to the old knife and was worried that I would not get on with it. I also like that it has a protective guard and I will dry it and place it back in the guard as soon as I wash it as I don't want any accidents!

I've often wondered about this style of knife and decided to take advantage of my discount offer voucher and finally treat myself to a decent knife. It is very sharp and so far I've mostly used it for tomato slices and thin onion rings for my sandwiches. It's the only knife I wash and dry immediately rather than leaving to dry as I don't fancy catching it with anything else, especially my fingers!

I use this knife for slicing onions and tomatoes. Easy grip handle. The blade comes with a protective cover. Very happy with my purchase.

Great knife; cuts really well and looks good. I bought a set of 5 and they look really great on my magnetic wall mounted knife rack. Instructions recommend hand washing but I find they are fine in my dishwasher (I inherited one from my mum who had no issues with dishwashing either). I imagine they will last me a lifetime. Watch out though, because they are super sharp!

LOVE this knife. It's so light to use, good grip and excellent for slicing, chopping. Happy Shopper, Happy Chopper

This is a great all round knife. I was fed up of not having a good all rounder so decided to invest in this one and am very glad I did. It is my new favourite. I find it great for onions, peppers etc, just slices through everything with ease. A great buy.

I have only this knife for a few days, it is for the price incredible. Excellent balance, superb grip lighter than I expected but perfect for me, very very sharp its now my knife of choice for food prep and I would reccomend it to anyone who needs a very very good knife at a very reasonable price

A fabulous knife! Well balanced, comfortable in the hand and very, very sharp. It holds its edge remaining sharp for a long time. When I bought it online I was concerned that the blade might be a little small as I was originally looking for a slightly longer bladed Santoku Knife. However, it is a really handy size, perfect for chopping and slicing with ease. I use it daily in food prep.
