The Wusthof Ikon Blackwood 7" Santoku Knife is made in the style of a Japanese Cooks Knife and is just right for preparing not only fine Asian but also Western cuisine. It has a hollow edge which creates pockets of air which prevent extra thin or soft slices from sticking to the blade. This santoku is a great chef's knife and can be used for all kinds of chopping or slicing.
