WÜSTHOF Gourmet 7 Santoku Knife

The 7-inch hollow cut Wusthof Gourmet Santoku knife is modeled after the classic Japanese cook's knife and is ideal for preparing a wide range of cuisines, from fine Asian to modern American. The hollow edge prevents extra thin or soft slices from sticking to the blade by creating pockets of air. Made from high carbon, stain-resistant steel, the Wusthof Gourmet line of knives is laser stamped and easily sharpened, with blades that are tempered to hold their edge. Each blade is laser tested to ensure a precise and even cutting angle, while the synthetic handles are compression riveted to the full tang of the blade. For optimal care, hand washing is recommended, as with all fine cutlery. The knives are backed by a lifetime guarantee.

The Wusthof Gourmet series 7" Santoku knife features synthetic polypropylene handles that resist fading, discoloration, heat, and impact. The high carbon stainless steel blades are precisely cut with state-of-the-art technology for incredible sharpness and easy maintenance, with the kitchen knives being hand wash only.

The Gourmet 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is thinner than the traditional chef’s knife, with a 10 cutting edge that gradually curves up at the end to provide a straighter edge. The hollow edge is crafted with evenly spaced vertical indentations, creating small air pockets between the blade and the food to gently push food off the blade.

Wusthof cutlery is designed to resist corrosion and dulling, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. The company, which has been family owned for seven generations, was founded in Solingen, Germany over 200 years ago. Wusthof’s cutlery carries the Solingen name, a designation reserved for products that meet the strictest quality standards.
