Each piece from the Robert Welch Signature Kitchen Knife Collection has been painstakingly designed to ensure that it not only looks good but functions perfectly too. Working with professional chefs, Robert Welch has made sure that these Kitchen Knives are comfortable in the hand and that the blade performs as it should and if properly cared for will give years of happy cutting and slicing. The Robert Welch 17cm Santuko Knife is an all purpose Japanese style kitchen knife with a wide blade that is perfect for slicing, dicing and chopping more delicate foods.
