Wusthof Silverpoint II 2-Piece Santoku Knife and Sharpener Set
The 2-piece Santoku set includes a 7-inch, hollow-ground santoku and a santoku knife sharpener. The hollow-ground blade features dimples on the side which form air pockets that allow food to release easier from the blade, so no sticking. The special sharpener is designed to cut a 17-degree angle on the narrower Santoku knife, making the set a very serviceable self-contained unit. The knife was expertly crafted from high-carbon, no-stain steel in Solingen, Germany, the cutlery capital of the world. For higher precision and edge integrity, the blade was laser cut instead of stamped. Each Wusthof blade is precisely tempered to hold its edge for a great length of time, so external maintenance is rarely required. The knife's unique compound angle tapers from the spine to the edge, allowing for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge. It also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength and flexibility. The knife features a riveted handle with a contoured shape for comfort and control. Washing by hand is recommended for best care.
