3-pc. Santoku Cutlery Set

The Viking 3-pc. Santoku Cutlery Set includes a 4-in. Paring Knife, 7-in. Santoku Knife with Hollow Edge and a 8-in. Hollow Edge Carving Knife. A paring knife is typically 3 to 5-inches long, looks very much like a chef‘s knife, but is considerably smaller. It is used for paring and trimming fruits and vegetables. The Hollow-ground dimples of the Santoku Knife create air pockets and reduce drag when cutting delicate fish/meat. The carving knife is generally used for slicing cooked meats. The long blade may be wide or narrow, flexible or rigid, have a rounded or pointed tip, and have a smooth or modulated surface. The heavier, hard-bladed slicers are designed to cut broader slices through hot, softer meats. If the surface of the meat is firm and relatively dry (as in cold roast or a ham), the meat is less resistant, and the thinner, narrower blades are suitable.

...about Viking
When people think of Viking, the bold, commercial look of the Professional Series range is the image that most likely pops into their heads. Viking introduced professional cooking to the home when our first range shipped in 1987. Now that same exceptional performance extends into every corner of the kitchen – even the backyard. It’s enough to turn any cook into a chef. Viking doesn't see the kitchen as a collection of products, but a complete cooking environment. Cooking isn't a chore – it’s an art form. Everything must work together in form and function. Each line offers a full range of products, so you don’t have to resort to mixing and matching brands and styles. Viking offers the truly consistent ultra-premium kitchen. The complete Viking kitchen is complete perfection. Although Viking is best known for our flagship ranges, we have brought the same level of culinary excellence to every product in the kitchen. Viking not only provides everything you need to cook on, but everything you need to cook with. Our cutlery and cookware are meticulously crafted to meet the standards of the world’s finest chefs. And Viking small appliances manage to fit professional performance onto the countertop. When we say the complete Viking kitchen, we mean it. Completely.
