Wusthof Classic 7" Santoku Knife, Hollow Edge Wild Blueberry MSRP $170

Combining the duties of both a chef's knife and a cleaver, this santoku is deftly proportioned for precision tasks like mincing and paper-thin slicing. The high-carbon-steel blade has shallow oval-shaped depressions along the cutting edge that keep foods from adhering to it.

• Knife is precision forged from a single piece of sturdy high-carbon steel that resists stains and corrosion.
• Blade has hollow-edge depressions to reduce friction and minimize sticking.
• Wüsthof's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) ensures a 20% sharper blade with twice the edge retention.
• Full tang is triple riveted to the handle for exceptional durability and control.
• Polypropylene handle is contoured for a comfortable grip.
