A Santoku knife is a versatile Japanese-style knife that is well-suited for various kitchen tasks, including slicing, dicing, and chopping. The word "Santoku" translates to "three virtues" or "three uses," referring to its ability to handle meat, fish, and vegetables.
The hollows on the blade, also known as granton edges, are shallow indentations designed to reduce friction and prevent food from sticking to the blade while cutting. This feature allows for smoother and more efficient slicing, especially when dealing with ingredients that tend to stick, such as cheese or starchy vegetables.
The Classic series from Wusthof is renowned for its high-quality construction and precision engineering. These knives are typically forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel and feature a full tang, bolster, and triple-riveted handle for balance, durability, and control.
