The Wusthof Japanese Knife Set is the Asian blade version of the standard 2 piece starter set. Instead of a Chef’s knife, the Japanese Knife Set contains a 7 inch Santoku – the Japanese chef’s version of a European Chef’s knife. The 7 inch Santoku features a hollow ground blade edge that prevents food from stick while cutting. The set also contains the classic 3 inch straight paring knife. With two highly versatile knives, the Wusthof Classic Japanese Knife Set is an ideal gift for the aspiring chef with an affinity for Asian cuisine and cutlery.
