I keep hearing about Santoku knives. What is so different about them
and what do you use them for?

It is a japanese style general purpose knife, used in much the same way as a
chef's knife. I'm sure there are lots of rules about what makes each one
different, I don't know them, I just like the feel of santoku knives.

Instead of having a curve like the French blade,santoku is straight.
Hubby likes the Santoku, but my initial reaction to it has diminished
and I've gone back to my french blade. I prefer the rocking motion of
french. Biggest complaint: I haven't successfully resharpened the
santoku back to my liking yet.

I think yours is better for the mincing action I like.
Mine is a Wüsthof. "Technically" you could call it curved, because
when you put it on a flat surface you might be able to fit a hair
(literally) under the front and back of the blade.
