Versatile Hollow Ground Knife

Made exclusively for us in Japan, this versatile knife by Shun is useful for cutting meats, vegetables, cheeses or fruits, as well as slicing through sandwiches. Hollow-ground indentations on the blade reduce friction and minimize sticking. Blade is constructed with a core of SG-2 powdered steel clad in a true Damascus layer of forged nickel and stainless steel. Inspired by centuries-old samurai sword–making techniques, the blade's construction creates a supersharp cutting edge.

Made in Solingen, Germany's famous cutlery center, this versatile kitchen knife has a finely honed cutting edge. The full-tang blade is punctuated by oval-shaped indentations that facilitate smooth, thin slicing of meat and poultry and even chopping of vegetables. Knife is precision forged from a single piece of sturdy high-carbon steel that resists stains and corrosion. Wusthof's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) creates an extraordinarily sharp blade that retains its edge 30% longer.

In its seventh-generation of family ownership, Wüsthof has been making some of the finest kitchen cutlery in the world since 1814. The Gourmet line features precision stainless-steel blades that resist stains and rust and hold an exceedingly sharp edge. Versatile set includes a 3" paring knife and a 7" hollow-ground santoku. When chopping and slicing, the shallow indentations along the santoku’s blade reduce drag for greater precision.

Our Wüsthof Classic set gives you two versatile knives that represent the best in Eastern and Western cutlery traditions. Shaped like a slender cleaver, the Nakiri is based on a traditional Japanese design for prepping fresh produce. It’s paired with a Hollow-Ground 6" Chef’s Knife, an all-purpose favorite in Western kitchens. Each knife is precision forged from a single piece of sturdy high-carbon steel that resists stains and corrosion.
