I use both the Santoku knife and chefs knife at school depending on what I am doing. I use the Santoku for chopping vegetables and making them into those small little cuts the French love. The flat blade makes it easier to get a more accurate cut. The Chef's knife is good for when you need to cut through meat and bone since it is heavier. The Wusthof Classic is less bulky and heavy than other Chef's knives which is helpful for my small hands but less helpful for when I'm trying to chop a chicken into 16ths. I hope I didn't confuse you more! For regular use (not heavy butchering) I would recommend a Santoku knife. I think you will enjoy it :) Thanks Kay!

At school they started us out with Mercer Knives. I liked the chef's knife, especially when cutting into bone (of a chicken for example) because the knife is firm and strong and holds a pretty good edge. Now I use Wusthof Classics which I really like because they fit very comfortably in my hand. I also prefer Western style knives. I particularly like my boning and Santoku knife. The key to purchasing a good knife is trying it out. Go to the store and cut something with it. They usually allow you to test them out. Make sure it fits comfortably in your hand. Consider the blade and how you need to maintain it. Hope that helps! Hi Kay. At school they started us out with Mercer Knives.
