Styled after the classic Japanese cook's knife, this 7-inch hollow cut Santoku knife from Wusthof's Gourmet line is just right for preparing a wide range of cuisines--from fine Asian to modern American. The hollow edge creates pockets of air, which prevent extra thin or soft slices from sticking to the blade. Wusthof's Gourmet line of knives is laser stamped from high carbon, stain-resistant steel that sharpens easily, and it's tempered to hold its edge. Each blade is laser tested to ensure a precise and even cutting angle. Synthetic handles are compression riveted to the full tang of the blade. For best care, hand washing is recommended. Like all fine cutlery, the knives should be hand washed. They're backed by a lifetime warranty.

In the culinary world variety and preparing something outstanding is the key to success. Due to this, Wusthof offers more than 350 different kinds of knives to be able to provide the perfect knife for everyone. No matter which kind of blade and handle shape you are thinking of--Wusthof has the right knife for all your needs.

Types of Blades The Right Blade for Every Purpose

The edge is the business end of a knife. It is skillfully honed by hand and incredibly sharp. For different cutting tasks different blade shapes and edges are recommended.

The Differences:

Straight-edge blade: The straight edge allows a smooth and clean cut. When carving no fibres are torn out of the meat. This edge can be used for firm and soft food like meat, vegetables and fruit.

Serrated-edge blade: The wavy or serrated edge allows an easy cut through crusty food like a traditional roast and crispy bread.

Hollow-edge blade: When cutting an air pocket is created between the hollow edge and the slice. This prevents the food from sticking to the blade and allows for finer slices.

Laser technology cuts steel into precise shapes. View larger. Modern Manufacturing

With modern manufacturing techniques, Wusthof is using laser cutting to craft its stamped knives. Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut steel in precise shapes. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser, by computer, at the steel being cut. The material then burns away, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish.

The remaining processes are similar to the manufacturing of forged knives.

Automated steps ensure precise results. View larger. Perfectly sharpened blade. View larger.

Stamped knives are usually thinner, lighter and lack a little of the balance of forged knives; therefore, requiring a firmer grip and more pressure when chopping and mincing. They are usually priced lower than forged cutlery, because the process can be performed at incredible speeds and reduced labor and material costs. Today, high-quality stamped knives deliver excellent cutting and ability and light-weight maneuverability favored by some cooks.

Cleaning & Storage Proper care for long-lasting cooking enjoyment

If you value your tools, we recommend washing your knives with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse carefully and dry with a towel.

For proper storage we recommend the following options:

• Knife blocks in a variety of shapes, colors and configurations. The handy knife block provides protection for your blades as well as a visual compliment to your kitchen decor.
• Magnet Bars in wood, synthetic material or aluminum. Two extra strong magnet segments provide a safe, easily visible and space-saving storage option.
• Cook's cases in rolls and briefcase styles. This is the ideal method for professionals to store and transport their tools safely.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
(What's this?) Knives are important for all cooking but especially if you are preparing lots of vegetables and salads as I do. I was so happy to get this set as part of the VINE program. The trio of knives covers most applications -- this set, combined with a sharpener, a serrated bread knife, a large carving knife, and a large santoku covers nearly all my needs. I already had the Wusthof Classic 8 inch Santoku (which all by itself was more than the price of this entire set). It has been my favorite and most used knife. It has a flat edge so having the rocker edge on the new Gourmet cooks knife in this set is a very welcome complement. The Wustof classic knife is heavier and feels more substantial, but the performance of the Gourmet knife seems just about as good. I like the small size of the block. I had been planning to put all the knives into the knife rack in my knife drawer but the block is so small and handy that I will try leaving it on the counter. I have a feeling that I won't be reaching into the knife drawer nearly as much any more.
