Editorial Review:
Two essentials for any cook who enjoys preparing classic Asian dishes, this set includes a hollow edge santoku knife, styled after the Japanese cook's knife which is just right for thinly slicing sushi and sashimi, or just about anything you want paper thin. The second knife, the paring knife, lets you make exact cuts on smaller vegetables, and is perfect for garnishes or trimming away small pieces. Each Grand Prix II knife is precision forged of a single blank of high carbon stainless steel, skillfully honed by hand twice. The perfectly balanced knives feature molded handles that are slip-resistant and completely hygienic. An update to the original line, the Wusthof Grand Prix II knives offer more ergonomically designed handles combined with the high quality and contemporary good looks chefs and home gourmets alike desire.
