Wusthof Santoku Knife 14 cm Classic Ikon 1030331314

The santoku knife is used as an alternative to a chef knife. Based on the Japanese way of cutting, this knife is an essential tool for the preparation of both Asian and European cuisine.

Unlike the classic chef knife, when using a santoku we set the tip of the knife as a guide and cut mainly with the back of the blade. Grooves on the blade prevent any material from "sticking".

Half Bolster for better balance and accuracy. This way we can sharpen the entire length of the blade.

Sharpening

A special WÜSTHOF knife sharpening process called PEtec (Precision Edge Technology) ensures the ideal cutting angle. It is a top-class technology where knives are sharpened by robots that are controlled and monitored by computers. The advantage of this process is the precise geometry along the entire length of the blade, the remarkable and extremely high initial cutting performance of the knife comparable to a razor sharp blade and last but not least the long life of the blade.
