The Wusthof Classic 5 inch Santoku knife is the special Japenese-styled version of the Chefs knife. Like most Santokus, it features a hollow edge with dimples to allow paper-thin slices to fall cleanly from the blade without sticking. As with its traditional chefs knife counterpart the 5-inch blade of this Wusthof Santoku is more nimble than larger tools, making it perfect for small jobs or small hands. Create delicious sushi and sashimi without any tearing of the delicate seafood meats. Mince g
