This 7-inch multi-use Santoku knife effortless handles any household kitchen cutting need–from chopping to dicing and slicing. Designed to prevent food from sticking to its sides and increase efficiency; “hollow ground” refers to a row of oval-shaped grooves along the blade’s cutting edge. By trapping air during chopping, food is less likely to adhere and more likely to fall to the side.
Offering superior craftsmanship and a lifetime warranty, this blade reflects the commitment to quality associated with its renowned manufacturer. Similar to other Wusthof knives, the blade, bolster, and tang are precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. Additionally, the tang extends almost the full length of the handle reinforcing the tool’s strength and reliability. Thanks to a sturdy steel bolster, knuckles remain protected while the ergonomically designed handle affords a comfortable hold to reduce hand strain. Made in Solingen, Germany; hand washing is recommended. –Amy Arnold

Knife I value as a top 10 item I own – PERIOD. I’m a young college student who works at a restaurant as a waiter.

I wanted to be an awesome cook, so the first thing I did was ask the chef at my restaurant what tools I needed to start. He told me a good kitchen knife is THE essential tool of the chef. He recommended I go to Williams Sonoma and try out every knife possible but warned me that chef knives cost close to $100…
View CommentGo ahead. Live a little. When my Wusthof Grand Prix II 7″ Hollow Ground Santoku knife arrived from Amazon as a mid-year birthday present to myself, I tore open the packaging and immediately bonded with the high carbon no-stain steel beauty inside. The knife *gleamed*, was obviously surgically sharp and, for an intermediate cook who had been using a 1980s-era Chicago Cutlery chef’s knife all her life, it was a bit…intimidating.After several days of regarding the knife (and it doubtless regarding me), of…
View CommentQuick action, cheap handle I am lucky enough to own three very beautiful blades: a Shun Santoku 7″, the Wusthof Grand Prix II 7″, and the Henckel 8″. Of these three the Wusthof is my least favorite. The blade is somewhat thinner than the Shun, which may be a positive point for those who prefer lighter blades. The black plastic handle also contributes to a lighter weight. However, I personally prefer the heavier better quality steel of the Shun as well as the beautiful wooden handle. Makes for very satisfactory…
