Wüsthof Partner Santoku Knife

The hollow-edge, or Granton edge, features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets between the steel and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients like potatoes or cucumbers from sticking to the knife while you slice.

The slanted half-bolster is designed to be lighter and more ergonomic than a full bolster. It allows you to grip the knife closer to the blade for better control and makes it easier to sharpen the entire length of the edge, right down to the heel.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the forged stainless steel and the synthetic handle, we strongly recommend hand washing it with warm water and mild soap, then drying it immediately.

A Santoku is typically shorter, lighter, and flatter than a traditional Western Chef's knife. While a Chef's knife uses a rocking motion for chopping, the Santoku is designed for a more efficient, downward slicing motion, making it excellent for precise dicing and mincing.

Yes, the synthetic handle is ergonomically shaped and lightweight, which generally makes it very comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes. The textured grip adds a layer of security, ensuring the knife feels stable even during repetitive tasks.
