Gourmet Hollow Edge Fluted Santoku Knife, 17cm

What a cook's knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku is for Japan and the whole of Asia- It's 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 knife allows anything from regular to wafer-thin cuts.

• Hollow edge fluted santoku knife
• Designed with a thinner blade than the traditional chef's knife, at a 10° 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.
• Incredibly sharp and easily maintained laser cut blade
• Tempered to 58° Rockwell

Wüsthof's Gourmet knife range are fine-crafted and laser-cut to guarantee perfect balance and durability. Made from high-carbon stainless steel, they all 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.
