Overview
A hollow ground edge on the santoku reduces drag and helps stop food clinging, and a straight edge paring knife gives close control, in this Wusthof Gourmet two piece Asian chef's set.
Reason to buy is the pairing of a main blade and a small blade in a stamped, high carbon stainless set. The limitation is the missing sheaths or block and the length inconsistency on the paring knife.
Who it's for
Home cooks starting out, or those who like the Japanese style santoku, get the two knives that handle most prep. Buyers who need a full set should look at a larger one.
Pros and cons
- Hollow edge santoku
- Straight edge paring knife
- High carbon stainless steel
- Paring knife length listed two ways
- No block or sheaths listed
- Stamped rather than forged
Performance notes
The hollow ground edge reduces drag and helps stop food clinging to the blade. The straight paring edge gives close control for peeling, mincing and dicing. Stamped blades are cut from rolled steel, which lowers weight.
