Wüsthof Classic Hollow-Edge Santoku, 5" in Black

A forged high-carbon steel santoku knife is designed for efficient chopping and slicing with lots of control. The 5" length is especially handy for smaller prep tasks, tight cutting boards or cooks who prefer a more compact blade.

The hollow-edge design creates small air pockets between the blade and your ingredients. That can help reduce sticking, so slices release more easily as you keep moving through prep.

Full-tang construction means the steel runs through the handle for a secure, solid feel. With triple rivets and a seamless fit, the handle is designed to stay comfortable in use and support a hygienic grip area.

A 5" santoku is a smart pick if you like a compact knife that is quick to maneuver. It is also a great addition alongside a larger chef’s knife when you want a smaller blade for controlled, precise prep.

Use the forged high-carbon steel santoku knife on a knife-friendly cutting surface and avoid twisting or prying with the edge. Keep the blade clean and dry between uses and maintain the edge with routine sharpening when it starts to feel less sharp.
