Wüsthof Culinar 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife Description
|
The Santoku knife is a Japanese chef's all-purpose knife, the equivalent of a European chef's knife. "San" means three and "toku" means good things. It cuts everything: onions, vegetables, cabbage, fruit, herbs and meat. And because of the blade's shape (which facilitates "rocking"), it's also ideal for mincing and dicing. About Wusthof and Culinar???Introduced in 1999, the Culinar series features an elegant satin finish throughout. The blade, bolster and tang seamlessly blend into the 18/10 stainless steel handle. Precision forged in Solingen, Germany since 1814, Wusthof knives are designed for maximum strength, safety, balance and heft. Precision forging and single piece construction mean no stamping, welding or shortcuts - only solid quality you can feel.

Wüsthof Culinar 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife customer reviews:

Nice knife!
This is a very good quality knife. I currently have the J.A. Henckels four start collection, but I wanted to try the Wusthof's knife after hearing all the good things about it. Like J.A. Henckels' Twin Star collection, this knife has the total stainless look. But after comparing two brands of knives, all I can say is that I wish I bought Wusthof's knives instead.
This knife is really sharp and has a good feel to it. It cuts really well. The hollow edge keeps the vegetables/food from sticking to the sides, which also make this knife exceptional. None of J.A. Henckles' line has this special and exlusive feature. I might have to start upgrading my J.A. Henckels to Wusthof. This is definitly money worth spent, if you are into having good kichen stuff.
A beauty in form and function, but will the handle slip? 
I've owned this knife for several months and am pleased with it -- it certainly is good-looking. The santoku blade is great for chopping veggies -- I think the hollow (Granton) edge is well worth the small increase in price over a flat blade.
The only drawback to this knife -- as it is with competitors' steel-handle knives, is that most cooks will not feel as secure holding it, particular if your hands are a little slippery or greasy. It just feels as if it might slip. For that reason, I think the Wusthof Grand Prix version of this knife would be a slightly better choice. But hey, if you have a zillion-dollar kitchen and a zillion knives, this series is the prettiest to display that you'll find anywhere.
Pretty Knife, but the Henckels Pro S was more functional
I have a couple of Santuko Knives. While hands down this is the nicest looking, I have found that the Henckels Pro S Santuko fits better and feels better in my hand. One reviewer mentioned that the Henckels did not have the Hollow Edge like the Wusthof's, but this is incorrect. The Henckels is called: Henckels Pro S 7" Santoku Knife - Granton Edge.
Son in culinary school
We bought this knife for our son. He has been helping in the kichen since he was three,and is training as a professional. He says this is the best knife he has ever used and is very easy to keep clean.
The Best of The Best
This Wusthof Culinar Hollow Edge Santoku knife feels absolutely magical to use. It slices through anything I need it to as if it's going through hot butter. Smooth, efficient, a real work horse. Using this knife makes a person actually feel professional in the kitchen! Because of all the raves this knife has garnered from dinnerguests, we've given 5 of these as gifts to family members and close friends.
I have the 10" Culinar Chef's knife that is wonderful, but I don't even use it anymore since I purchased this Santoku.
I'm now looking for the 5" Hollow Edge Santoku to add to my collection. It's not easy to find.
