The Santoku is an innovative style of chef's knife specific to Japan. With its nimble blade and superb balance, the WÜSTHOF Classic 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. This special Classic Ikon Santoku is indispensable in kitchens around the world. WÜSTHOF's Classic Ikon series merges the sleek, sophisticated elegance of a high-performance knife with the precision and durability of an all-purpose kitchen companion. Classic Ikon knives feature a distinct double-bolster design for professional-style heft, balance, and beauty. Handles are crafted from a highly durable synthetic material "Polyoxymethylene (POM)," which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discolouration. The elegant shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable grip, and each and every Classic Ikon blade is precision honed from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel.
