Wusthof Classic Ikon Forged 7″ Santoku Hollow Knife

What a Chef’s knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku is for Japan and the whole of Asia: 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 is therefore now indispensable in kitchens all around the world.

CLASSIC IKON knives feature a distinctive, double bolster design for professional-style heft, exceptional balance and beauty. The handle is made of a highly durable synthetic material Polyoxymethylene (POM) which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The elegant shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable grip.

Family owned for seven generations, Wsthof was founded in Solingen, Germany over 200 years ago. To this day, every Wsthof knife is still expertly crafted in this legendary city.
