The Santoku is an innovative style of chef's knife specific to Japan. With its nimble blade and superb balance, the WÜSTHOF Crafter 7" 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. With brass riveting, handles made from luxurious smoked oak, and blades forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel, the Crafter series is what happens when over 200 years of knife production meets the modern home kitchen.
