This is in fact the exact same knife as the Wusthof Classic model, only without the granton edge.
Everyone is crazy for this traditional Japanese cook's knife shape, and I've switched to now using it at home too as my primary knife (that I use 90% of the time). This is the Japanese version of the traditional classic European (German, French) chef's knife shape. Here's why it wins converts almost immediately: great shape, with straighter edge and wider overall blade making chopping and scooping more efficient (sort of a cross between a chef's knife and Chinese cleaver); and a nice size, with a shorter length making it easy to handle and use at home and in cramped kitchens. In short, it's versatile, easy to handle, and yes, it's VERY sharp! And this Wusthof model is one of the world's most popular, with all the features of a great santoku, with the legendary Wwsthof quality! Individually gift boxed. This is truly a great santoku -- I guarantee you'll love this knife!
Note: if you're looking for a granton-edge version of this knife, just order the Classic version -- it's the exact same knife (the classic non-granton was simply re-branded as "Le Cordon Bleu" and has not changed at all). |
