Wusthof Classic Santoku Knife

The hollow edge features small indentations along the blade that create tiny air pockets between the steel and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents thin slices of vegetables or meat from sticking to the knife while you work.

At 5 inches, this Santoku is more compact and agile than a traditional 8-inch chef's knife. It is ideal for smaller cutting boards, intricate prep work, and users who prefer a lighter, more maneuverable tool for daily tasks.

While the materials are durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing this knife. Dishwashers can dull the blade edge prematurely and the high heat or harsh detergents may damage the handle over time.

A full tang means the steel of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, structural integrity, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand during heavy-duty chopping.

Thanks to Wusthof’s Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), this knife holds its edge twice as long as standard blades. With regular honing to maintain the edge alignment, you should only need to perform a full sharpening once or twice a year depending on your frequency of use.

Yes, the ergonomically designed POM handle is shaped to provide a secure, natural grip for a variety of hand sizes. The triple-riveted construction ensures it feels substantial without being overly bulky.
