Wusthof Classic Santoku Knife

The Granton edge features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets. These pockets prevent thin slices of food, such as potatoes or cucumbers, from sticking to the side of the knife while you cut.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately to protect the integrity of the high-carbon steel and the handle material.

A Santoku has a shorter, flatter blade with a rounded tip, making it ideal for precise chopping and dicing. Unlike a chef's knife, which uses a rocking motion, the Santoku is designed for a more efficient, downward slicing motion.

The full bolster acts as a transition between the handle and the blade, providing a secure finger guard. It also adds weight and balance to the knife, which helps prevent your hand from slipping toward the edge during use.

While the high-carbon steel offers excellent edge retention, it should be kept clean and dry to prevent surface oxidation. Regular honing with a sharpening steel will help maintain its professional-grade sharpness between professional sharpenings.

Yes, the ergonomic POM handle is designed for a secure, comfortable grip regardless of hand size. Its balanced weight and contoured shape provide excellent control for various cutting techniques.
