This Messermeister Meridian Elite Series 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is versatile kitchen blade. Much like a Chef's Knife, this popular Asian-style knife is ideal for chopping, mincing, dicing and julienning fresh fruits and vegetables. The blade's scalloped or granton edge helps to prevent food from sticking while slicing, allowing for faster and easier prep.

The Messermeister Meridian Elite line of forged knives have a durable POM handle riveted through a full tang. The hand polished Elite edge and spines are some unique features as well.

Messermeister knives are made the old-fashioned way. Each fully forged Messermeister knife is made from a single block of German steel and each segment of the knife is finished by hand. As a result, a Messermeister knife has a handle and tang that are perfectly contoured for the user's hand, a bolster-less heel on Chef's knives allows the entire edge to be sharpened, a sharp edge created by a detailed 3-step finishing process which results in a sharper and smoother edge. All Messermeister knives have a lifetime warranty covering defects, plus free lifetime sharpening and refurbishing.
