Wusthof Classic 2 Piece Mini Asian Knife Set

Wusthof Classic 2 Piece Mini Asian Knife Set If you are looking for a versatile set of knives without jumping into the larger sizes, consider the Wusthof Classic 2 Piece Mini Asian Set. Comprised of a 5 Inch Classic Santoku and a 3-inch Classic Flat Cut Paring Knife, these blades offer some serious utility in your kitchen. The Santoku knife is basically a cross between a vegetable cleaver and a chef's knife. Many prefer this design over traditional European cook's knives because they are lighter and are better at the chopping motions. Wusthof Santoku knives have hollow ground edges to help your thin slices of food fall off the blade without sticking. You probably already have a paring knife, but the Flat Cut parer, also known as a sheep's foot, is again much better at chopping as well as precision than your standard paring knife with a pointed tip. Straight, super-thin cuts are now possible thanks to the nearly entire length of the blade making contact with the cutting board at once. Made in Solingen, Germany. Lifetime Wusthof Guarantee.

The tang of a forged knife always extends into the handle to improve the balance and ergonomics.
