Inspired by traditional, Japanese-style knife artisanship, the Wusthof Classic White Hollow Edge Santoku Knife Set is the perfect set for home cooks and professional chefs who enjoy using Asian style knives. The Classic 7" Hollow Edge Santoku is designed for finely chopping produce, herbs, and meat, and its sharp, scalloped edge creates tiny air pockets during slicing to prevent food from sticking to the blade. Meanwhile, the Classic 5" Hollow Edge Santoku offers precise control for mincing, and dicing.<br /><br />Wusthof Classic White full-tang knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive Wusthof high-carbon stainless steel. The handle design is made of a highly durable synthetic material known as Polyoxymethylene (POM), which features a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. Each Wusthof Classic White knife features a computer controlled cutting edge to ensure the final edge of the blade is precise and uniform from the tip to the heel. The Wusthof PEtec angle and tapered cutting edge reduces drag when slicing foods, allowing for seamless and effortless cutting. Each knife blade is completely buffed and polished by hand. Wusthof Classic White knives are made in Solingen, Germany with a lifetime warranty.
