The Everyday Essential with a Professional Edge

What a Cook's Knife is to European kitchens, the Santoku is to Japan and the rest of Asia; beautifully balanced, endlessly versatile, and designed for precision. Its shape, weight, and ultra-sharp edge make it perfect for mincing herbs, chopping vegetables, slicing meat, or preparing delicate fish. The Santoku's fine edge delivers everything from confident everyday cuts to wafer-thin slices, earning its place as a true essential in kitchens around the world.

Blending traditional Japanese design with Wusthof's German engineering, this 17cm Classic Santoku Knife brings professional-level performance to your home kitchen. Fully forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel and precision-honed using Wusthof's PEtec (Precision Edge Technology), it delivers exceptional sharpness and edge retention. The hollow-ground blade prevents food from sticking, while the perfectly weighted handle ensures comfort and control with every slice.

This is the knife you'll reach for daily; balanced, beautiful, and made to last a lifetime. It's the knife that makes chopping herbs feel effortless, slicing sashimi satisfying, and dicing onions a little bit joyful. Professional quality, right at home.

FAQ's

What makes a Santoku different from a chef's knife?
A Santoku has a thinner, straighter edge that's perfect for precision slicing and chopping. It excels at fine cuts and vegetables where control and accuracy matter.

What does "hollow edge" mean?
The small scallops along the blade reduce friction, helping ingredients release cleanly for smooth, fast cutting.

Is this suitable for home cooks?
Absolutely, it's professional quality but beautifully balanced and easy to handle. It makes prep faster, smoother, and more enjoyable.

Will it stay sharp for long?
Yes. Wusthof's PEtec edge holds its sharpness for longer. However regular honing will keep it performing at its best.
  • Hand wash only with warm, soapy water and dry immediately with a soft towel.
  • Avoid abrasive sponges or soaking.
  • Store safely in a knife block, sheath, or magnetic rack.
  • Do not cut on hard surfaces like glass, metal, or bamboo.
  • Regular honing keeps your knives performing at their best. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing steel as needed.

Founded in 1814, Wusthof has been crafting high-quality, forged cutlery in Solingen, Germany for over 200 years and have established a reputation above all for their quality and functionality.
