The Santoku is an innovative style of chef's knife specific to Japan. With its nimble blade and superb balance, the Wusthof Classic Ikon Creme Santoku Knife is the perfect tool for almost any kitchen task, from chopping fresh herbs to boning fish to slicing meat.

The Hollow Edge allows small air pockets to form during slicing, which prevents food from sticking to the blade. 

Details:

• Contoured handle for comfortable fit and a more contemporary appearance
• The half bolster allows for the knife to be honed and sharpened the entire length of the blade and the heel bolster provides added balance
• Tempered to 58° Rockwell
• Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention
• Full tang that is triple riveted to the handle for precise control
• Precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon stain-free steel
• Hand wash only
