Product Info
When it comes to finely chopping fresh herbs, cutting fish, or slicing vegetables the 17cm Amici Santoku Knife is the versatile all-arounder you’re looking for. This Japanese-inspired chef's knife is the only knife in the Amici series with a lighter half bolster — the area between the blade and the handle on forged knives. The half bolster both protects your fingers from the blade and provides enough lightweight maneuverability for more detailed knifework. The Santoku blade is also slimmer, making this knife particularly suitable for fine cuts and paper-thin slices. The custom-grained Calabrian olive wood handle is naturally water-resistant and antibacterial, and its organic shape fits comfortably in hands of any size.

- Made in Solingen, Germany
About Wüsthof Amici: Forged in Germany, inspired by Italy
Each Amici knife pays homage to Wüsthof's collaboration with Castello di Serragiumenta — a 16th century castle in the Calabrian countryside. Inspired by the abundant sunshine and farmland of Calabria, Italy, Amici embodies “la dolce vita”, a joyful zest for life. The Amici series combines Wüsthof's iconic, precision-forged blades with uniquely grained Calabrian olive wood handles, fusing modern craftsmanship with Italian design sensibilities to create an ideal knife for preparing and sharing meals. Benvenuti Amici.

Care Instructions
Dishwasher Instructions
Although some Wüsthof products are dishwasher safe, we do not recommend that your knives and scissors be put in the dishwasher. Blades can knock together, damaging them, and if not washed soon after use, corrosive food particles can damage the blade. Rather wash your knives as soon as possible after each use with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel.
Knife Sharpening
All knives require regular sharpening. Wüsthof manufactures sharpening options that suit all of their knives, including whetstones, honing steels and pull-through sharpeners. See the sharpening range here.
Warranty Info
Wüsthof knives have a 10-year warranty and will be repaired or replaced after thorough inspection if there are any defects in workmanship or materials. This warranty assumes proper care, maintenance and intended use of the knives.
