This Mundial Santoku Knife is ideal for slicing, dicing and mincing, as well as for other everyday chopping tasks. Made from fully forged, high carbon CrMo stainless steel, the full tang knives feature razor sharp edges double ground at 20 degrees. One of the hottest knives on the market, the all-purpose santoku has become a kitchen necessity. This 7-inch Mundial 5100 santoku, also known as a Japanese chef's knife, is ideal for almost all slicing, dicing, and chopping needs. The air pockets in the blade form what's called a granton edge, which ensures smoother, thinner slices and prevents food from sticking to the blade while cutting. For many chefs, nothing beats the ergonomic comfort or classic styling of fully forged cutlery in "basic black." Mundial's 5100 Series Black is just that. The company's oldest line of fully forged knives, it exemplifies all the expertise that Mundial has acquired through its more than 70 years of crafting gourmet knives. 5100 Series Black is fully forged from high-carbon stainless steel and features a durable polyacetal handle in the traditional three-rivet style.
