Review:
Retailing anywhere from $100 to $200 for a single Santoku knife, Wusthof
has several models to choose from. Most models include the hollowed Granton
edge: good for keeping vegetables from sticking to the blade. However,
flat-edged cutlery is also available. Select handle features available:
triple riveted, dramatic sculpted stainless steel, and lightweight ergonomic
handles. Wusthof also sells a 2-knife set containing both a Paring and
Santoku knife. (a good buy)
