If you're a collector, go for it. I'll never be able to drop that much on a tool, but good on ya if you can.

Santoku knives are pic related. I think Wikipedaphile says they were designed for the home cook (female). I owned one for a while. It's nice. Easy to handle. Light. Not a lot of blade length (that's why it's light and easy to handle).
Great starter/intermediate knife for a home cook. I wouldn't bring one on the line, though, because the guys will make fun of you. Great utility knife. Kind of consolidates the amount of knives you need to perform tasks. Does that make sense? It's large enough to be your gyuto/chef knife, hankotsus/boning knife, nakiri in all.
I gave mine to a friend when I upgraded to a 240mm.
