Wusthof Culinar 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

Wusthof Culinar 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife Review



Wusthof Culinar 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife Feature

  • Japanese-style cook's knife designed for chopping, slicing, dicing
  • Alternating hollows on blade's sides prevent food from clinging
  • Blade, bolster, tang forged from single piece of high-carbon stainless steel
  • Handle sculpted from 18/10 stainless steel with elegant satin finish
  • Made in Germany
Elegant satin-finish handles sculpted from 18/10 stainless steel distinguish Culinar cutlery from Wüsthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Culinar knives embody all the virtues of other Wüsthof knives that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wüsthof 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. Blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as some knives'. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wüsthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action.

This 7-inch santoku is a Japanese cook's (or chef's) knife--a low-tip style with a broad blade. Because the cutting edge is less curved, it provides less rocking action than a European-style cook's knife. However, for straight-down slicing and precise chopping 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 The Santoku knife is a Japanese chef%27s all%2Dpurpose knife%2C the equivalent of a European chef%27s knife%2E %22San%22 means three and %22toku%22 means good things%2E It cuts everything%3A onions%2C vegetables%2C cabbage%2C fruit%2C herbs and meat%2E And because of the blade%27s shape %28which facilitates %22rocking%22%29%2C it%27s also ideal for mincing and dicing%2E About Wusthof and Culinar%3F%3F%3FIntroduced in 1999%2C the Culinar series features an elegant satin finish throughout%2E The blade%2C bolster and tang seamlessly blend into the 18%2F10 stainless steel handle%2E Precision forged in Solingen%2C Germany since 1814%2C Wusthof knives are designed for maximum strength%2C safety%2C balance and heft%2E Precision forging and single piece construction mean no stamping%2C welding or shortcuts %2D only solid quality you can feel%2E %0D%0A

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 7-Inch Santoku Knife with Hollow Edge

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 7-Inch Santoku Knife with Hollow Edge Review



Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 7-Inch Santoku Knife with Hollow Edge Feature

  • 7-inch hollow-edge blade allows for paper-thin slices, keeps food from sticking
  • High-carbon stainless steel; optimum grades of metal welded into each part of knife
  • Friodur ice-hardening process strengthens knife and prevents staining
  • Full tang and bolster; triple-riveted black synthetic handle
  • Lifetime warranty
The Japanese version of the chef’s knife, the santoku is useful for straight chopping, mincing, and slicing of larger quantities of vegetables and meat. Cooks with smaller hands may prefer this 7-inch blade as the shorter length offers better control while cutting. The width also provides a great platform for transporting chopped vegetables from cutting board to sauté pan. This version of the santoku actually has a hollow edge or oval cut-outs along the blade. The benefit to this blade style is that cooks can cut paper-thin slices and individual slices won’t stick to the blade.

Part of the Pro S series of cutlery, this knife has a fully forged high-carbon stainless-steel blade. The blade, bolster, and tang are welded of one piece of metal using Henckels’s Sinter Metal Component Technology, which distributes the right quantities of metal to each part of the knife. The result is a longer-lasting edge and a more consistent angle on the blade. The blade has also undergone Henckels’s Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens it and protects it from discoloration. The traditional-style black synthetic handle is secured to the tang with three stainless-steel rivets. This santoku is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

This second bolster adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon has a unique forward bolster as well. The forward partial bolster is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. Located in, The Cutlery Capital of the World, Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Throughout it’s history, Wusthof has focused almost solely on the manufacturing of forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.

Saber 7 Inch Santoku

Saber 7 Inch Santoku Review



Saber 7 Inch Santoku Feature

  • Hand made, fully-forged, and priced so that working people can actually afford them
  • What makes saber knives unique is the ability for our knives to take a new edge or refresh via sharpening
  • Each of our knives is hot-dropped forged, heat treated, then cryogencially frozen to temper the steel to a sweet-spot of 56.6 rockwell
  • NOT dishwasher safe, they must be hand-washed only
  • Lifetime guarantee on craftsmanship and materials
Saber knives offer a unique high-quality solution for the hard-working chef! We specialize in custom manufacturing of high grade knives for the culinary artist. Each knife is hot drop forged from a single piece of proprietary German steel. German Metallurgical Engineers pioneered the high carbon stainless steel manufacturing process. This process pro- duces a metal that is hard enough to hold an edge, flexible enough not to break, and soft enough to hone and sharpen. It also must have all of the right qualities to resist rust and corrosion throughout its lifetime. The resulting formula for German stainless steel is: X 45 Cr Mo V 15. This recipe for metal is what is used to ensure every Saber knife is chef sharp! Who is Saber? The people of Saber Knives are like you: we work, we have families, we buy things we want and need. Also like you, we donʼt want to pay too much for what we buy. Saber Knives started because of our frustration at the high cost of quality cutlery. Convinced a small, well-managed company could engineer and produce a product equal to the very best German knives, we set out to do just that. No effort has been spared to reach that goal. We only make fully-forged knives using the best steel, as it makes for a better knife. If you want to pay too much for quality knives, thatʼs your business. If you want to buy a premium set of knives and have money left over… That’s our business.
