Wusthof's Classic line of cutlery features forged blades with hand honed edges. The classic, triple riveted handle is timeless, elegant and extremely durable. Plus the proprietary no-stain high carbon steel holds an edge well and is easy to sharpen. The Wusthof Classic Hollow Ground Santoku is great for mincing, slicing, chopping and dicing. The thin blade is agile and quick, and the alternating indentations on each side reduce friction while cutting and slicing. Made in Germany, the knife comes with a lifetime warranty.
