The versatile and hardy Wusthof Urban Farmer 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 hand-honed high-carbon stainless steel blade is thinner than a traditional chef’s knife and maintains a razor-sharp edge. Wusthof’s Urban Farmer line celebrates farm-fresh food, home gardening, and cooking with wholesome, healthy ingredients. Combining rustic style with modern technologies and materials, Urban Farmer knives beautifully express the collection’s farm to table ethos. The line’s designer—accomplished German designer Bjoern Berger—has committed to sustainability and environmentalism while inspiring creativity in the kitchen. What visually sets the Urban Farmer knives apart from other Wusthof lines, is the handle complete with a non-slip bolster. The high-performance synthetic black bolster offers a secure grip that will instil confidence even when wet! The distinctive handle is made with sustainably grown FSC-certified European Beechwood that is heat-treated to ensure an extremely durable and water-resistant handle even though it is uncoated. Finished off with two stainless steel rivets, the Urban Farmer handles are smooth to the touch, ergonomic, and extremely comfortable to use. These knives are equally at home in the kitchen, as they are in the garden or on any urban farm!
