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.
Formulated for Optimal Sharpness
At WÜSTHOF's production factory in Solingen, Germany, forged knives are meticulously crafted through a process involving over fifty-four manufacturing steps. This process seamlessly blends innovative technology with the time-honored traditions of hand-made artisanship.
