Excellent all purpose knife!
I own Henkels professional knife my parents gave me when I got married in 1992, and wanted to have another one with this shape. At that time there was no such Santoku knife, but the shape is same, just without scalloped surface. And it is very nice to use, cuts wonderfully. I know this knife will last many years!!!

Henckels Pro S or Wusthof Classic Ikon Santoku will become your primary knife
This is a review of the 7" Henckels Pro S Santoku knife. I had the opportunity to test out both the 5 and 7 inch Pro S knives in person before I purchased the 7 inch on Amazon. I don't have large hands but the 5 inch Santoku felt cramped to cut with in comparison.You can use this knife for just about all of your cutting needs. You could get away with buying this, a paring knife , and a serrated knife. I'd recommend buying a few good sharp knives over a huge set of mediocre knives any day.The Pro S Santoku is a great, sharp, all-purpose knife. Right after I bought it, this knife became my go-to knife with daily use until I recently purchased a Henckels Ikon Blackwood Santoku. For full disclosure: I was very happy with the ProS and never would have spent the money moving to different model but life circumstances changed and I left my ProS line behind with my ex. I tested out knives before investing in any again. I now use the Henckels knife almost exclusively over any other knife because I prefer the feel of it.Here's why: As you can see, the two knives offer a different handle and bolster (end of the blade just before it connects to the handle). The smaller bolster of the Wusthof Ikon knife makes it easier for me to cut with more area of the knife. As far as the "butt" ends: The Pro S line has a curve at the butt, meant to rest your pinky finger on (supposedly to prevent fatigue). I prefer the handle of the Wusthof Ikon which is contoured gradually from the blade to butt with no sharp curve at the butt - it just feels good in my hand.I like the feeling of a wood handle, but it's not for everyone. The Henckels also comes in an Ikon Classic model which is exactly the same knife (same exact blade, sharpness, shape, everything as the wood one) but with a synthetic material for the handle: Polyoxymethylene (POM) that is the same material used for the handle of the Henckels Pro S knife. The POM material feels good, is strong, non-porous and will hold up well over time.Other differences between the two brands: the Wusthofs ikon's blades are cut at 14 degree angle while the Henckels are a 15 degree angle (slightly less sharp). Honestly, they are both great sharp knives. Both the ProS and the Wusthof Ikon knives will happily tear into your skin or cut off fingernails if you're not being careful - or so I've been told! :)I didn't find that the "granton" (hollowed out sections of the blade) on either knife does much for me over a chef's knife. It is intended to create an air pocket and help moist food not cling so much to the blade but meh, I always have stuff stick anyway. Regardless, I prefer the shape of the blade of the Santoku over a chef's knife.Even though the listing says dishwasher-safe, you'll notice that the manufacturer suggests hand washing. This is because the blade can get damaged by rubbing against things. Also, if the knife doesn't get washed right away, stuck on food, especially acidic stuff, can damage the blade. Hand wash and dry the knife right after using and it'll last a lot longer.Your knife should be honed regularly, preferably every time you use it (honing straightens/realigns the blade - regular use bends the blade and your knife will feel duller). The knife should also be sharpened occasionally (removes steel material from the blade creating a new edge). If you have typical home use, once a year or so is usually enough.Overall, I do recommend this knife. If you have a chance, visit a brick and mortar store before purchasing to test out the feel of the knife in your hand. I do recommend the Pro S knife - it was my favorite knife for years.
