Wusthof Le Cordon Bleu

Featuring a new thinner blade design for more a Japanese-style feel, but with the benefits of superior German engineering and construction for longer life and easier and more consistent maintenance. Precision forged from a single blank of high carbon steel. Incredibly sharp: specially-polished cutting edge Lighter distinctive bolster design: more agile, reduces fatigue. Long-lasting, comfortable and nearly indestructible handle/grip. Full-tang construction (blade metal extends fully into the handle for extra strength). Beautiful and very sharp knives -- truly professional-level tools! Caution: cook's knives have been purposely ground extra thin for the ultimate cutting performance, and so chopping through bones will damage the fine edge (in other words: don't use fine tools like these as cleavers!)
Why no granton Santoku? Well, the Classic line santoku is actually already the same thing -- it already has the Le Cordon Bleu line blade features built-in... hence the fact that Wusthof now calls their old non-granton Classic santoku a Le Cordon Bleu santoku (it even has the same part number). So if you want a granton Le Cordon Bleu santoku, just buy the Classic granton santoku above since you get the Le Cordon Bleu blade benefits PLUS the granton edge, and at the great Classic price!
