By Dr L from Fairfax VA on 04/27/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Bright, Durable Describe Yourself: High-end Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Watch the fingers. This is very useful knife to have around but it is sharp. It isn't a cleaver and it isn't a screwdriver. And you probably don't want to slice bagels with it.
By cutwater2 from vero beac, FL on 03/26/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Handle fits hand well, Unique Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased both Boker titanium knives offered.
This is not a single item issue.
The knives are no wear near as sharp as
previous customer comments lead me to believe.
I returned both knives.
By Bronx Transplant from Bronx, NY on 03/23/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Keen edge Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The knife is a distinct upgrade in my kitchen. I hope it holds its edge well!
Too flexible, not as sharp as steel By Maggie from Auburn, CA on 02/09/2009 Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought as a present for my son, a fledgling chef. He did not like it. I thought I'd try it and did not like it either, plus, it doesn't stick to my knife magnet. I'm returning it and the other one I bought.
The Indestructible Samurai By Doc Adelman from Lisle, IL- gateway to Naperville on 01/31/2009 Describe Yourself: High-end Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love my "Herself" dearly, but she destroys knives. I knew this before I married her.
When I met her, she used her dishwasher as a "knife rack" constantly rewashing her Chicago Cutlery "knives" (or what was left of them), until the wooden handles went to an Albino Maple look. There were visible small "notches" in the edges.
In her mind, if all you have is a knife, you're good to go. Cat food cans, ripping through staples on shipment boxes, string, wire- you name it- that's what the kitchen knives are for. Are you getting where I am going here?
I bought her the standard utility version of this knife previously, and it too, resides in the dishwasher (ready at a moment's notice, I am sure). But after 9 years, it is still in great shape, notwithstanding that it did once fall on the heater/dryer element inside the dishwasher and melted the handle halfway through. Looks and works like a thumb-rest for her. (see picture)
I got her this one here as half a joke- she didn't need a new one, and also as a "back up" if the other one ever pooped out. (not likely) Besides- this price is quite the bargain, let me assure you. Now we have two Titanium knives in our "Amana Knifeholder'.
I have my Wusthof knives, I have my Kyocera Ceramics. And kind of like my Sawzall, she is not allowed to touch those. She merrily goes through the day trying to destroy these Titanium knives- and they just take it! They remain quite sharp, and after many years use on the first one that I bought, it still does not need sharpening.
She should have one, maybe two. You decide.
By Kitchen Queen from New York, NY on 12/30/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Durable Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Every serious cook needs this knife.
By Knifebug from Houston, TX on 12/30/2008 Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The blade is very sharp and light weight, but the injection-molded handle feels cheap.

Boker Santoku Titanium Chef's Knife By renee Zuritsky from phila. pa on 12/23/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Bright, Durable Describe Yourself: High-end Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like the design and the function
By Mikey from Albuquerque on 12/17/2008 Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This knife is excellent for all sorts of vegetable chopping-slicing which is what it was made for. It has a small handle that has been criticisized in other reviews, but for my family, the moderate handle size is a plus. Use of the knife requires care because it holds such a fine edge. The smaller Boker kitchen knife has also replaced our paring knife.
