Richardson Sheffield CU019 17.5 cm Cucina Santoku Knife, Silver

Comfortable, no nonsense knife that does everything you want it to easily..dry immediately after cleaning though or rust blooms appear on it high carbon content blade. Takes an holds a fine edge with a little patience. I have better . But I use this one the most because it's a pleasure to use in the kitchen.

Cut accuracy is great. Easy to use and I love a good knife

Very good knife and great value for money. Good balance and sharp.

I guess it's okay for the £6.50 I paid, but it's no way near as good as the same company's "Sabatier Trompette" 15cm chef's knife which cost me about £7 (in a set of 3 knives which cost £21 total). Link; Richardson Sheffield 3-Piece Sabatier Trompette Knife Starter Set, Silver PROS: It's fairly comfortable to hold, but not quite as nice as the Sabatier Trompette series. Seems well made, sharp out of the box. Slices very well, and goes through food easily. Decent size, but just a bit too much on the bigger size for my preference. Can scoop food extremely well due to being wide. It has cutouts on the side of the blade to reduce sticking. So far I have had no sticking of food to it. CONS: The grind on it starts where the cutouts are on the blade, far too close to the edge (as you can see in the official photo above). This means the blade wants to tilt a bit when cutting (it wants to tilt away from you, so it exits the food before you reach the chopping board), which is not a big problem, I can just adjust the angle of the blade as I cut, but it's really not as nice as a really thin full flat ground blade (as you can see in my photo below), which just goes straight down much better. Conclusion: Good value for money, but there are better options. I've added a photo of all my knives from this brand (sorry I don't have a good photo of this specific knife). The front two are AMAZINGLY good at cutting due to their shape. I'll add a review of them here: Richardson Sheffield 3-Piece Sabatier Trompette Knife Starter Set, Silver

This knife is of exceptional quality for the price, a good weight, well balanced, extremely sharp and easy to use. Would recommend

I'm giving this knife a 5 star review, not because it's perfect, far from it..but for the price it's exactly what I would expect it to be. It's sharp enough out of the box, and is strudy in the hand. I can't comment on longevity, but at the price, you could consider it a more 'disposable knife' and I wouldn't mind chucking this in a year to purchase another.

Super value able fr the price

I’ve spent ages looking for this type of knife and bought this one because of price and it seemed good and was British. Nice looking knife and comfortable. That’s the one star. Apart from that, awful disappointing rubbish. Not as sharp as I thought it would be and when I went to use it the second day it had rust spots all down the blade. Cleaned it again but can’t get some of the markings out. Am returning this and won’t be going to this manufacturer again.

Validissimo e costa poco !!!!! Per gli amanti della cucina, in senso di preparare divertendosi pietanze, è il coltello giusto.

Fait parfaitement le job !

Wow, sehr scharf-top

So far, so good. Quite a cheap knife for its quality, so good that I purchased two. Thanka very much.

This was a Christmas gift for my son. He is a Sous Chef and just loved it!
