Wusthof Classic Santoku 7" Hollow Ground Edge Knife (4183-7/18; 1040131317)

What a Chef's knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku is for Japan and the whole of Asia: so versatile in shape, weight and edge that it can be used for mincing and chopping herbs, vegetables and fruit as well as for preparing fish and meat. The sharp blade of a Santoku allows anything from regular to wafer-thin cuts - it is therefore now indispensable in kitchens all around the world. The Wüsthof Classic Santoku 7" Hollow Ground Edge Knife (4183-7/18) is designed with a thinner blade than the traditional chef’s knife , at a 11° cutting edge, and gradually curves up at the very end providing a straighter edge. The hollow edge contains evenly spaced vertical indentations that create small air pockets between the blade and the food. These small air pockets gently push food off the blade and reduce the friction and drag when slicing. WÜSTHOF’S best-selling collection for generations, CLASSIC full-tang knives are precision-forged from a single piece of an exclusive high-carbon stain-free steel. CLASSIC knives feature a new handle design made of a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. All WUSTHOF knives are proudly made in Germany. Store all your Wusthof knives in style with a Magnetic Knife Block and keep them in great condition by using them in tandem with a high-quality Flexible Cutting Board and sharpening regularly with a Ceramic Sharpening Steel.
