Wusthof Classic White Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, 17cm

What a chef's knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku is for Japan and other Asian cuisines — so versatile in shape, weight and edge that it can be used for mincing and chopping herbs, vegetables and fruit as well as for preparing fish and meat. The sharp blade of a Santoku allows anything from regular to wafer-thin cuts — it has become indispensable in kitchens all around the world. The scalloped edge creates little pockets of air when slicing which prevents food from sticking to the blade and makes for a smoother, cleaner cutting motion.

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.
