Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of W?sthof Classic 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife
Customer Review: Excellent Knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I have recently purchased the Wustof 7" Classic Santoku knive and am very pleased with it. It is the best and definetly the sharpest knive that I own. I also have knives from J.A. Henckles and R.H. Forschner and this knife is in a class above those. When stroked against a sharpening steel it even has a different higher pitched sound than the other two mentioned above, suggesting a higher quality knife steel with harder heat treating. The knife even right out of the box would slice ripe tomatoes with amazing ease. It is well balanced and was extreemly sharp right out of the box. Even with normal use it maintains it sharp edge suggestion extreem detail to initial sharpening angles. I would strongly recomend this to anyone that seeking a high quality kitchen knife.
Description of W?sthof Classic 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife
Originally from Japan, this knife is quickly finding a following among American chefs. The curvature of the cutting edge offers great opportunity for rocking the blade while slicing and dicing. An excellent choice for cutting vegetables and meats into slices or cubes. This blade can cut paper thin slices, a great benefit to those who adore sushi and sashimi and the hollows within the blade keep food from sticking to it.Tough polypropylene handles with full, visible tangs and the traditional three rivets distinguish Classic knives from W?sthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Classic knives are identical to other W?sthof knives, embodying all the virtues that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a W?sthof knife--blade, bolster, and tang--are forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. The blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as on some knives. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, W?sthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action.
This 7-inch santoku is a Japanese cook's (or chef's) knife, featuring a low-tip style with a broad blade. The cutting edge is minimally curved, so it provides less rocking action than a European-style cook's knife. For straight-down slicing and precise chopping, however, it's superb. Alternating hollows on each side of the blade create air pockets, allowing slices to fall away cleanly. This knife should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
