Wusthof Classic 5 inch Santoku

When it comes to mincing, dicing and chopping there's no better knife shape than a santoku. The long, flat edge makes great contact with the cutting board on each cut so you can work more quickly. The Wusthof Classic 5 inch Hollow Edge Santoku is a great alternative to a utility knife. It's also a great go-to prep knife for cooks that are more comfortable using a shorter blade. This knife is taller than your typical utility knife so there's more room between your hand and the cutting board - that means added comfort especially when chopping. This knife is a great tool to have on hand, especially if you have kids that like to help in the kitchen. This is a great knife to gift becuase it is a unique size and shape - it's very unlikely that the recipient will already have one of these in their collection.
