Description
This WÜSTHOF 1040131314 Classic Santoku Knife Hollow Edge Knife has a black, triple-riveted handle. It has a blade with a hollow edge. It measures 5-1/2″ (15 cm) in length. The Santoku is the oriental version of the cook’s/chef’s knife, used for dicing, chopping, mincing, and quartering. The offset handle keeps one’s knuckles from hitting the cutting surface.
The hollow edge is NOT a serrated edge. The hollows create an air pocket which reduces drag on the blade. It also reduces food sticking to the blade. The hollow edge also allows one to get a thinner slice.
Wusthof uses a single piece of chrome-molybdenum steel to forge the WÜSTHOF 1040131314 Classic Santoku Knife. Forging makes the metal harder so the knife stays sharp longer. This knife has a bolster which protects the fingers and gives the knife a solid, balanced feel and heft.
It also has a full tang. Specifically that means the forged metal extends to the end of the handle for maximum strength and balance.
