Wusthof Ikon African Blackwood 7 in. Santoku

What a Chef's knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku is for Japan and the whole of Asia: so versatile in shape, weight and edge that it can be used for mincing and chopping herbs, vegetables and fruit as well as for preparing fish and meat. The sharp blade of the Wusthof Ikon Series African Blackwood 7" Hollow Edge Santoku allows anything from regular to wafer-thin cuts - it is therefore now indispensable in kitchens all around the world. The hollow edge is crafted with evenly spaced vertical indentations, which create small air pockets between the blade and the food. These small air pockets gently push food off the blade and reduce friction and drag.
