Wusthof Classic 6" Cleaver Knive, Black + Wusthof Classic 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Kitchen Knife

Wusthof Meat Cleaver

This cleaver from Wusthof easily cuts through meat, cartilage, bone, and tough vegetables. Chop meat for stew or bones for stock, and use the back of the cleaver to tenderize cuts or the flat of the cleaver to smash garlic cloves. The wide thick blade stands up to a variety of foods and can be used to transfer ingredients from your cutting board to pots, pans, and bowls.

The blade is forged from X50CrMoV15 steel and sharpened with Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) for superior blade sharpness. It offers excellent edge retention with a Rockwell hardness of 58. This high-carbon stainless steel includes vanadium for durability and wear resistance, and molybdenum for hardness and corrosion resistance. Full tang construction offers balance and strength while cutting. The triple-riveted knife handle is made from a highly durable synthetic that resists fading and discoloration, with a full bolster and finger guard.

• 6-inch length
• Stamped high carbon stainless steel blade for hardness and durability
• Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) for sharpness and edge retention
• 58 Rockwell hardness
• Full tang construction for balance and strength
• Triple-riveted synthetic handle resists fading and discoloration.

The newly updated Wusthof Classic Hollow Ground Santoku is a versatile, all-purpose blade that is prized for the precise way in which it cuts. The deep blade glides through foods and holds a straight line as it chops and slices through vegetables and raw or cooked boneless proteins. The Granton edge design enhances performance by creating air pockets that reduce drag and water adhesion, so slices are cleaner and less food sticks to the blade. Wusthof's Hollow Ground Santoku is unique to the Classic series because the blade is ground thinner, and the edge is created with a scant 10° bevel per side. This makes for a very fine, razor-sharp edge. The cutting performance is perfectly suited to most fruit, vegetable, and boneless protein prep, but care should be taken with hard winter squashes and the blade is not recommended for cutting frozen foods or bones. The new Classic Series features the updated Trident logo inlayed on every handle and etched on every blade. Hand washing is highly recommended. Made in Solingen, Germany and backed by Wusthof's lifetime warranty.
