Item Package Weight: 1.2 Pounds Wüsthof’s best-selling collection for generations, the Classic series offers a timeless design with superior performance and consistent quality. This premium line is an authentic piece for all food fans and sets the standards for quality and performance in the kitchen. With its vast selection of blade shapes and sizes, Classic offers the right tools for every professional chef and home cook. A classic amongst Asian style knives, the Classic 5” Santoku is the most versatile blade designed for all cutting tasks. Featuring a hollow-ground edge, the dimples on the knife create air pockets allowing food to easily slide away from the blade. With its wide curved belly, this knife creates the perfect rocking motion for mincing and slicing vegetables, seafood, and meats. Each Classic Knife is forged from a single block of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC for lasting edge retention, integral blade strength, and ease of maintenance. The Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention. Family owned for seven generations, Wüsthof was founded in Solingen, Germany over 200 years ago. Wüsthof’s cutlery carries the Solingen name, a designation reserved for products that meet the strictest quality standards.
