Description

The Meridian Elite 7 Inch Kullens Santoku Knife is a Japanese chef's knife with the same versatility found in a traditional chef's knife.  It has a thin taper for maximum precision when slicing vegetables, fish and meat. The kullens (semi-circular hollows on either side of the blade) reduce drag and ease the cutting and separation of meats, cheese and vegetables. The blade and handle are compatible in width and weight, resulting in a well-balanced knife. 

    Features
    • The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge retention, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge.
    • This knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58.
    • The three-step, 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool.
    • The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening and honing tasks, making use of the entire blade from heel to tip.
    • Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.
    • 100% Messermeister quality
    Care
    • Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
    • Do not place in dishwasher.
    • Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.

    Which knife should I buy first?

    A chef's knife of 18 to 20 cm. It handles most kitchen jobs, from chopping onions to slicing meat. If you mostly cut vegetables, a santoku is a good alternative.

    Can my knife go in the dishwasher?

    No. Heat, detergent and other cutlery dull the edge and can damage the handle. Wash your knife by hand with warm water and a little soap, and dry it straight away.

    How do I keep my knife sharp?

    Run your knife over a honing rod every few uses to straighten the edge. When honing no longer brings back the sharpness, sharpen it on a whetstone or have it sharpened professionally.

    How quickly will my order arrive?

    Orders placed before 12:00 (CET) on weekdays are processed the same day. Delivery usually takes 1 to 5 working days, depending on your country. Shipping is free on orders over € 100.

    Can I return my order?

    Yes. Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 14 days of purchase. Fill in the return form and send the package with tracking. Shipping costs are not refunded.

    What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

    All Messermeister products are guaranteed against defects in materials and craftsmanship. Normal wear and damage from use other than intended are not covered.
