Slim knives should be mainstream. They are lighter, cut easier, easier to handle, and more of a joy to use.

The Chinese vegetable cleaver is misunderstood. They are very thin and effective for reasons stated above. Great knives.

These knives are a much better choice then most knives on slick deals and in department stores.

Not 'super slick' price, but the important thing is putting money towards a knife that isn't stupid/wasted money. I guess you could say a basic 'slick' deal on knives worth owning is effectively 'super slick'.

The other thing to know about these knives is they are 7" long, both of them. 8-10" is a typical good size chef knife for a male. That said, I have a 7" thin santoku and reach for it a lot. Easy to manuvour and do the cuts I need. I cook for 1-2 people normally.

This was $100 last year and it only got 1+ deal score.
Why suddenly $150 becomes a deal ?

"Slim" means the blades are thinner? Does that have an impact on durability or sharpening?

I read on here before that the good quality Henkel knives have the double-man figure on them, where the lower quality ones only show a single figure fwiw

Yes, it's thinner. That's not a bad thing. Slim means it's less laborious (easier) to sharpen, quicker and more straight forward. I don't know what kind of mad man needs a knife more durable than a thin knife. There's no durability problems.

If you want to 1up without getting tooo involved, get a Ken Onion Edition knife sharpener for about 100-130. Every time a knife gets too dull for your taste, just run the knife 2-3 passes each side. No more. Doesn't even have to be 'perfect', just blazing sharp compared to what it was. Any 'shortcoming' can be done next time it's too dull for your taste.

The ken onion edition lets you go as low as 15 degrees. Great for kitchen knifes. Japanese knives are usually sharpened to 15 degrees (or shun does 16 degrees I think). The knives in this deal isn't goint to be 15 degrees (closer to 20). The sharpener will cover that too. Got to find out what degree they use and just set sharpener to that.
EDIT NOTE: The discription clearly states the chef knife is 15 degrees and the santuko is 11 degrees. 11 degrees?? that's very low and new to me. The Ken Onion Edition knife sharpener's lowest setting is 15 degrees. I have no solution to the 11 degree santoku. Can get a waterstone and dare to shapen it yourself. Don't know how many sharpening places will sharpen a 11 degree knife properly. I'd personally get knives that were set at 15 degrees and get the ken onion shapener.

These knives are 57 Rockwell Hardness, which is easier to sharpen but less effective maintaining its sharpness compare to higher hardness knives. Get a good honing rod and a set of water stones, you are golden.

The higher the hardness, then less often you hone, if at all. Japanese knives use really hard metal that you shapen with a water stone but don't hone at all (or hone rarely according to some, I don't hone my hard metal knives). Water stones are great, but I've fell out of love with using them. I'm focused more on cooking and take my own advice with the 'lazy' smart pragmatic method of using the ken onion edition knife sharpener. It gets the edge right about where it should be easily. I skip it on polishing the blades, or using 4000/8000 polishing water stones to finish. And I never hone. I just wash and dry my knives immediately, even though most of them are 95% rust resistant (like common/awesome vg-10 japanese steel, the VW Bug of japanese steel).

tl;dr The harder the metal the more it tends to chip (never been a problem for me), and the less you have to hone it, if at all (I don't). You hone softer steels because they fold left or right at the thinist tip of the edge. Hard metal doesn't much at all, but can chip.

I believe that the Rocking Santoku Knife is the same knife sold at Bed Bath and Beyond during holiday season in the past for $35-$40 after coupon. I bought one and gifted to my sister, I used it at her house and really liked it.

I hone my Japanese VG10 knives once a while using a ceramic rod (https://slickdeals.net/f/15562612-arkansas-sharpeners-ac46-ceramic-11-5-sharpening-stick-honing-rod-w-7-rod-wood-handle-7?v=1) because steel rods are just too soft for hard blades.
