The versatile Wusthof Crafter 7” Santoku combines the duties of both a chef's knife and cleaver, making it perfect for mincing and chopping herbs, veggies, and fruit as well as for preparing meat and fish. The sharp blade allows for anything from regular to wafer-thin cuts—and the hollow-edge makes it perfect for starchy items like potatoes! The rustic and exceptionally high-quality Crafter series from Wusthof evokes and celebrates the spirit of old-world craftsmanship with traditional blade shapes, authentic brass rivets, and smoked oak handles. Especially eye-catching is the water-resistant smoked oak handle featuring one-of-a-kind grain patterns, a branded trident logo, and beautiful brass rivets. With the use of Wusthof’s high-carbon stain-free steel, precision-forged construction, and famed Precision Edge Technology, all the Wusthof Crafter knives have incredible edge-retention, durability, balance due to a full tang, and corrosion resistance.
