This KitchenAid Classic 2 piece santoku set is a must have for everyday meal prep. The ridges on the blades are specially designed to prevent foods from sticking while you slice, making them ideal for chopping and dicing vegetables. Blades are expertly crafted using semi-polished, high-carbon Japanese steel, hardened and tempered to provide a long-lasting edge for a professional, quality cut every time. These KitchenAid knives feature eastern-style ergonomic handles that provide optimal control for everyday use. Handles are expertly engineered with a textured finish for a comfortable grip and accented with a chrome endcap. Set includes an 18cm santoku knife and a 12.5cm santoku knife with custom-fit blade covers to protect the blades and ensure safe, secure storage. KitchenAid knives are top rack dishwasher safe. To extend the life of your knives, hand washing is recommended. Dry immediately.
