It is ideal for quickly chopping smaller vegetables, such as zucchini. In addition, its wider blade surface is convenient for smashing aromatics like garlic and lemongrass, and for scooping and transporting ingredients from a cutting board to a container. Wusthof's best-selling line for generations, the Classic collection features a wide range of premium, forged cutlery with POM handles to meet a kitchen's every need.

All Wusthof Classic cutlery is forged in a 40-step process that begins with a single blank of high carbon stainless steel.

A Santoku is a Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife. Like a chef’s knife, the Santoku is used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means “three virtues.” Depending on who you ask, the name refers either to the three types of foods it works well with vegetables, poultry, and fish or for the three types of cuts at which it excels; slicing, dicing, and chopping.

AT THE PEAK OF PERFECTION
In Japan, “shun” (pronounced shoon) is the word used to describe local, seasonal food at the very peak of its flavor and freshness. Shun is a time—the exact moment—when a fruit has reached its perfect ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time. Kai named their fine cutlery Shun to honor this tradition of seasonal, mindful eating and as a mark of their dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.
So now you know; just say, “Shoon” (rhymes with “moon”) for kitchen cutlery that’s designed to help keep your freshest ingredients at their very best.

Whether you’re already a professional chef or still working your way up through the minors you know how important it is to build your line-up around a solid performer you can count on in the clutch – your go-to kitchen knife. Think of your kitchen’s chef’s knife as your clean-up batter. Your success in the kitchen largely depends on your chef knife’s ability to deliver, whether the job at hand involves chopping vegetables, butchering meat or anything in between. Know you can always count on Chroma Type 301 knives. They’re made of the highest quality 301 stainless steel – the same steel used to make aircraft parts, subway cars and kitchen appliances.

The Blades of Chroma Knives Feature Japanese 301 Steel

When it comes to designing high-strength steel knives and swords in ergonomic shapes, the Japanese have a rich heritage and lead the world to this day. That’s precisely why the blades of Chroma Type 301 knives are made of Japanese 301 steel. Because of that, Chroma knives are razor-sharp right out of the box, stay sharper longer and are easier to sharpen than are conventional stainless steel blades.

Chroma 8" Chef Knife /Turbo knife steel comes from famous German steel maker ThyssenKrupp. At CHROMA, they use this blue Turbo steel to make an unbelievable new knife concept.

The Turbo has on the edge an HRC of 61* while the rest of the knife keeps pretty flexible at 56* HRC. KA-Six is harder and it stays hard longer.

Turbo has excellent sharpness. Sharper than most knives on the market. Sharper than many Japanese brands. This way the hard Turbo is easier to resharpen. You can recognize TURBO by the metallic blue pearl. ThyssenKrupps Turbo steel passes all European Union food tests for Food Contact Materials (FCMs).

Blade length 8"

This Japanese-style santoku is deftly proportioned to do the work of a chef's knife and a cleaver, and is ideal for precision tasks like mincing and paper-thin slicing. Shallow depressions in the blade create air pockets that keep foods from sticking. Its handle, made of durable polypropylene, is designed for comfort.

Triple riveted to the handle, the hand-honed, full tang blade is forged from high-carbon steel, which is ground from handle to tip and from spine to edge for optimal sharpness. The recessed bolster allows you to sharpen the entire length of the cutting edge. Always use caution when handling sharp objects.

Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately. Regular use of the honing steel maintains cutting edge. Sharpen knives as needed. This can be done by a professional or at home, using a whetstone or a knife sharpener. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass. Store knives in a safe place to protect edge and prevent injury.
