Product Info

Styled after the Japanese Cook's Knife this blade is just right for preparing not only fine Asian but also Western cuisine.

The hollow edge creates pockets of air which prevent extra thin or soft slices from sticking to the blade.

All knife measurements are for the blade only, not the handle.

Each Wusthof knife is drop forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel for maximum strength, balance and heft. This specialised high-carbon, stain resistant alloy ensures that the cutting edge of the knife is razor sharp and also easy to resharpen. A computer controlled grinding and polishing of the blade also ensures there is perfect tapering from bolster to tip.

The full tang knife is beautifully sandwiched by a synthetic, ergonomic handle that's been triple riveted for durability yet still retains its stylish looks and smoothness. The perfectly weighted full bolster gives the knife its heft and protects your fingers too. The hollow edge creates pockets of air which prevent extra thin or soft slices from sticking to the blade.

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.

Knife Storage

Wüsthof has a range of storage options to keep your knives safe: magnets, blocks, in-drawer organisers, and knife rolls. See the storage 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.

I've collected nearly the full range of Wusthof knives, but the one that truly makes my pseudo-chefy parts fizz is this Japanese inspired beauty.

It's Olympic-ballet-level weighted, flits gracefully between the worlds of chef and butcher's knives, and is so sharp it cuts the air on the way down.

You'll love it.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

I watch a lot of cooking programs and the chefs all seem to use a Santoku knife. This Wusthof knife is a pleasure to work with. It is comfortable to hold, so sharp and enables me to chop either coarsely or finely. I love it!

I would recommend this product to a friend.
