The Santoku is an innovative style of chef's knife specific to Japan. With its nimble blade and superb balance, the WÜSTHOF Ikon 5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is the perfect tool for almost any kitchen task, from chopping fresh herbs to boning fish to slicing meat. What's more, the hollow edge allows small air pockets to form during slicing, which prevents food from sticking to the blade. Forged from a single piece of specially tempered WÜSTHOF steel, each luxury Ikon knife features a full tang, a distinct double bolster, and final edge work hand-honed by one of WÜSTHOF's expert knife artisans in Solingen, Germany, the international cutlery capital. Ergonomic handles are crafted from sustainably grown, water-resistant African Blackwood, one of the hardest and heaviest woods in the world.
Product Highlights:
- Precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon stainless steel
- Full tang that is triple riveted to the handle for precise control
- Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention.
- 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
- Comfortable contoured handle that is made of Grenadill wood (African Blackwood)
- Wash by hand only
