RAZOR SHARP GERMAN STEEL – Precise Edge for Daily Work: Crafted from X50CrMoV15 German stainless steel and tempered to 56-58 HRC, this 7-inch santoku knife arrives razor sharp and maintains its edge through continuous daily prep. Engineered for consistent performance without frequent honing. HOLLOW EDGE BLADE – Clean Release on Every Cut: The precision-ground hollow edge reduces friction between blade and ingredient, preventing sticking mid-cut. Vegetables, proteins, and herbs separate cleanly — no tearing, no dragging, no buildup on the blade face. 7 INCH BLADE – THE IDEAL PREP SIZE: The 7-inch length delivers the agility and control that slicing, dicing, and mincing demand. Compact enough for precision vegetable work, long enough for proteins and continuous prep. A focused, lighter alternative to the standard 8-inch chef's knife. FULL TANG BALANCE – Stability Through Every Stroke: Full tang construction extends through the entire handle, providing balance and rigidity across every cut. The ergonomic grip fits naturally in both hands, reducing fatigue through extended vegetable and protein prep. GIFT-READY DESIGN – Velina Series by WickWillow: Presented in a premium gift box as part of the Velina Series. A considered gift for home cooks, culinary students, or anyone building a focused, high-performance kitchen. WickWillow 7 Inch Santoku Knife – Three Cuts. One Blade. The WickWillow 7-inch Santoku Knife from the Velina Series handles the three tasks that define daily prep: slicing, dicing, and mincing. Crafted from X50CrMoV15 German high-carbon stainless steel at 56-58 HRC, the razor-sharp blade holds its edge through continuous use — maintaining sharpness without demanding constant honing. The hollow edge reduces surface friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the blade mid-cut. Vegetables release cleanly. Proteins separate without tearing. Herbs mince without bruising. At 7 inches, the blade delivers the control and maneuverability that repetitive prep demands, without the weight of a standard 8-inch chef's knife. Full tang construction delivers balance from bolster to heel. The ergonomic handle fits naturally in both left and right hands, allowing extended prep without wrist strain.
