Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

The hollow edge features small indentations along the blade that create tiny air pockets. This prevents thin slices of vegetables or meat from sticking to the side of the knife, allowing for faster and more efficient chopping.

The 5-inch length makes this knife exceptionally agile and perfect for detailed tasks like mincing herbs, slicing small fruits, or prepping ingredients in tight spaces. It is more maneuverable than a standard 8-inch chef's knife, making it an excellent choice for smaller hands or precision work.

Yes, the full tang means the steel extends through the entire handle, which provides superior structural integrity and balance. Combined with the weighted bolster, this design ensures the knife feels sturdy and controlled in your hand during repetitive tasks.

Not at all. While the high-carbon steel provides excellent edge retention, the added stain-resistant alloy makes it much easier to care for than traditional carbon steel. Simply hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use to keep it in peak condition.

This Santoku is designed for precision slicing, dicing, and chopping rather than heavy-duty butchery. We recommend using a heavier chef's knife or a cleaver for tasks involving bone or frozen foods to protect the fine edge of the blade.
