99% this was made in germany, I have been using an 8" victorinox everyday for the past 3 years, most the other kitchen knives on here do not interest me. I'm getting this and any other victorinox kitchen knives, especially with wood handle
ALjBStuff like this is always about personal preference. I like the German santoku version better than the Japan one. The German style is heavier. I wanted to purchase the Wusthof Epicure Santoku at last Christmas but end up not. Hopefully this will be as good as the Wusthof one.
ptseI've honestly had better luck with Victorinox knives than I have with my Wusthofs, and I'm talking the stamped Vitorinox knives vs forged Wusthof. They both use pretty similar steels, but I find that the Vitorinox tend to hold an edge longer.
