FAQs
What is a Santoku knife best used for?
Santoku translates to "three virtues," referring to its ability to slice, dice, and mince with ease. It's ideal for vegetables, meats, and fish; a brilliant all-rounder in any kitchen.
What makes the Crafter Santoku different from other Santoku knives?
This version combines Japanese-style precision with Wusthof's renowned German forging. The smoked oak handle, brass rivets, and perfectly balanced weight make it a standout in both performance and appearance.
Why does it have a Granton edge?
The hollow (scalloped) indentations along the blade create air pockets that reduce friction, so food slides off more easily. Perfect for thin, even slices.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No, like all premium knives, hand washing is recommended. The dishwasher can damage the handle and dull the blade over time.
- Wash by hand and immediately towel dry.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or leaving your knife soaking in the sink.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as metal, glass or hardwoods like bamboo.
- Regular honing is essential to keep your knife performing at its best.
- Sharpen as needed using a whetstone, sharpening steel, or hand-held knife sharpener.
- Treat wooden handles periodically using a food-grade mineral oil to polish and restore the wood to its original luster.
