Amazon.com Review
Tough polypropylene handles with full, visible tangs and the traditional three rivets distinguish Classic knives from Wüsthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Classic knives are identical to other Wüsthof knives, embodying all the virtues 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. The blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as on 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, featuring a low-tip style with a broad blade. The cutting edge is minimally curved, so it provides less rocking action than a European-style cook's knife. For straight-down slicing and precise chopping, however, 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
Product Description
Originally from Japan, this knife is quickly finding a following among American chefs. The curvature of the cutting edge offers great opportunity for rocking the blade while slicing and dicing. An excellent choice for cutting vegetables and meats into slices or cubes. This blade can cut paper thin slices, a great benefit to those who adore sushi and sashimi and the hollows within the blade keep food from sticking to it.

Multi-purpose knife January 6, 2009
This knife does the work of many different knives, including a meat cleaver. It is a sturdy compliment to other Wusthof knives that we have. They all have been good and hold their sharpness well.
Fabulous knife! January 6, 2009
We love this knife. Looked at department store sales and other sites online. Best price. Great size. Fast delivery!
Wusthof knife January 6, 2009
This knife is the greatest for all purposes. The price was the best I could find on line or in stores. Shipping was prompt. Thanks!
Best knife I have used January 6, 2009
I have been able to cook for perhaps 25 years. This is the sharpest and best weighted knife I have ever used. It really makes sense to buy a knife where one does not need to smash one's food to make thin slices of anything, including tomatoes.
SIMPLY OUTSTANDING! December 1, 2008

My professional background has been in the hospitality service industries for more than 20 years coming up through the ranks of food and beverage. I was a line dinner cook at the ager of 17.
I have been putting this off this addition to my cutlery for too long. It does a fabulous job of fine slicing and dicing for smaller needs not requiring heavy prep. work. I am impressed on how sharp it is - WOW! This is a small light knife, that's very well balanced and feels great in the hand.
