I enjoy kitchen cutlery as much as the next person, but I
never buy new knives due to expense. Finding a free Santoku knife was like
striking gold for me.
It’s weird to think about how often we use knives daily. Or,
at least me anyways. Just yesterday I used a knife not only for things related
to eating (buttering toast, slicing lunch bread, cutting carrots, etc) but I also
used a knife to open up 2 separate things I bought as well as a package I got
in the mail.
Needless to say, we use knives a lot, and they’re pretty
cool. Yes, it would be much cooler to butter toast with a samurai sword, but
that sounds far too dangerous, so I’ll stick with a butter knife.
Thus, when I found this offer for a free Santoku knife, I
was pretty excited. (No, Santoku is not the same as Sudoku, so you can’t use
this knife to solve number puzzles, sorry). I already own a knife block with
some big and small knives, but the Santoku knife is different. Oh, for the sake
of full disclosure, you have to pay $8.95 for shipping and handling.
I don’t know a ton about it, but I do know that Santoku
knives are common in cooking Japanese food, and that the one I got free says it
can be used for slicing, dicing, chopping, and fast cutting. I say adding one
more knife to my kitchen arsenal—for free—can never be a bad thing.
Oh, and something else interesting about this particular
item? The exact same knife is selling on Amazon for $28 plus shipping. I don’t
know how this offer isn’t all over those blogs that solely promote free things,
but I’m excited that it’s still available. I can’t imagine they’ll be around
too much longer for free.
Anyways, the knife is just as good as my other cooking
knives. You can tell I’m no knife expert, so I can’t comment on all the crazy
things like angles and curvatures and whatnot, but I am an expert on saving
money, and thus I can say: This may be the best $8.95 ever spent!
I love to review products and find good deals, and thus I
will end my article by saying this: Go get your free Santoku knife! Your
kitchen will appreciate another tool for you to use, your spouse or significant
other will appreciate your thriftiness, and you will sound really cool and
advanced when you tell your friends and coworkers about your new “Santoku”
knife. Just the word itself makes the knife worth getting!
