Messermeister - Meridian Elite - Santoku knife 18cm

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Meridian Elite "Kullenschliff" Santoku knife is a Japanese chef's knife with the same versatility as a traditional chef's knife. It has a thin cone for maximum precision when cutting vegetables, fish and meat.

The blades (semi-circular recesses on either side of the blade) reduce resistance and make it easier to cut and separate meat, cheese and vegetables. The blade and handle are compatible in width and weight, resulting in a well-balanced knife.

CHARACTERISTICS

• The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, is strong and durable, retains its sharpness and is easily regrindable to a razor-like edge.
• This line of knives is one-piece, hot forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58.
• The three-stage, 15° Elite edge is hand ironed on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting edge on a serrated tool.
• The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening and honing tasks and utilizes the entire blade from heel to tip.
• Handmade in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.
• 100% Messermeister quality
