Mundial 5100 Series 7-Inch Santoku Knife with Hollow Edge, Black

 (2 customer reviews)

Recently, I bought 3 Mundial knives (santoku, serrated utility and parer)- the steel is the same across the line and all blades are forged with full tang. Only the handles are different.

So far, I am very happy with the out of box sharpness, balance, and overall look of the knife. you can cut tomatoes (for example) just by placing the blade over the fruit and gently gliding across the surface. big test will be 4-6 mths down the line and after honing. IN the meantime, the only criticism is the granton edge. this is the first knife i used with this kind of edge, and frankly, mostly everything still sticks: onion, tomato, tofu...

not a big deal, but not a great feature either ...

that said, I think the price is great (about 4 0 bux for the 3pc.), especially on the elegance line (which amazon for some reason doesn't carry yet)

This knife is great! It is extremely sharp and perfectly balanced. It really feels great in your hand.
