Description
Also known as a Japanese Chef's Knife, the Messermeister Meridian Elite 5" Kullenschliff Santoku Knife is a wide blade knife with an overall thinner spine and taper than a French or German style Chef's Knife. The thin taper (or blade thickness) is lengthened to give it maximum precision when slicing. The spine runs parallel to the relatively flat cutting edge, which has a bolsterless heel and only curves near the tip to create a broad bladed knife similar in shape to a cleaver. The alternating kullenschliffs (a.k.a. kullens, hollows or grantons) on each side of the knife reduce drag and prevent items from sticking to the blade.
- One-piece, fully forged
- Hand-polished "Elite" edge
- Bolsterless edge
- Cambered chef's knife blade
- Extra-wide chef's knife blade
- Ergonomic balance
- Triple rivet "POM" handle
- Polished spine
Usage
- The word Santoku translates as "3 good things," (virtues) which means it is versatile like a chef's knife and cuts vegetables, fish and meat.
Meridian Elite has the triple-rivet, full-exposed tang version of Messermeister's Elite edge series. These knives are one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged from a single billet of the finest German stainless steel alloy and outfitted with the most durable industrial strength handle in the world. Meridian Elite knives are handcrafted one at a time using the same techniques that have been the hallmark of fine Solingen made cutlery for hundreds of years. Meridian Elite knives are simply the best original forged knives made in Solingen, Germany!
