Anolon Advanced 5.5-Inch Kyotsu with Hollow Ground (52591)
This kyotsu knife is universally functional. It features a wide, tall blade for more controlled and uniform slicing. While having hte rounded shape of a Chef’s knife for easy rocking and slicing. Plus, the wide blade allows you to scoop chopped food for easy transferring from cutting board to pot. The hollow ground edge reduces sticking and drag so that thinner slices may be achieved. Protective sheath included for safe storage.

5 Stars Highly recommended
This knife is absolutely fantastic! I like how the blade is slightly arched back, so I can quickly chop through anything. I actually like this shape blade a lot better than the popular Santoku knives. I prefer this size knife over longer chef’s knives as well. I use this knife for everything - the sharp 5.5″ blade and comfortable grip gives me a lot of control. The sheath is a nice addition, too. Recently I bought 3 of these to give away as gifts.
5 Stars Best knife in the drawer.
I got this knife as a surprise gift for one reason and one reason only, and that was to cut corn. If you havent ever needed to do this, then you dont know that cutting corn efficiently, or without a LOT of pain is tough to do using traditional cutlery.
Well, with this knife and its blade, the job is a breeze and I’m talking about ripping up the job in about half the normal time. Amazing, and it performs general kitchen tasks better than anything else I own as well where a larger knife is not needed.
This great utility knife is only 5.5″ so it wont handle the large tasks, but for all the unnatural acts and smaller jobs you encounter in the kitchen, this may be just the solution you need. 5 shucks
5 Stars Ab Fab — a vegetarian’s dream!
I was looking for a good Japanese style vegetable knife and was pleased to see the positive reviews for this very affordable knife - so I tried it and have ended up using this more than any other knife I own. It is so nice for chopping broccoli and root veggies. I absolutely love it. It is as good as any German or Japanese pricey knife I own. I don’t think you will regret this purchase!
5 Stars Kyotsu knife
This is the knife that you will find yourself reaching for most often as you prepare your meals. Be careful!! When it says it’s sharp, it is. It has good quality steel and takes and holds a keen edge. Take care of it and it will serve you well for ever. I use mine for just about everything from chopping up vegetables to slicing bread to cutting chicken up to fry to slicing a roast for serving. I have numerous other knives in my knife drawer but this one just seems to fit better in my hand and do whatever I need done with no muss or fuss. It’s balanced just right and a joy to use.
