Wusthof Classic Cook's Knife, 7-inch (18 cm) - 4582-18 Shapton RockStar Stones over a special hard alloyIf you like the size of a santoku (slightly shorter than the traditional 8" chef's knife) but prefer the shape of the traditional chef's knife, this is for you. Same superb construction, quality and sharpness as the rest of the fully forged and full tang Wusthof Classic line. Very comfortable and ergonomic and tough handle. A great choice as an all around home knife for everyday use! Wusthof # 4582 18 1040100118
