Wüsthof Classic 7-inch Hollow Edge Santoku

Santoku means three virtues in Japanese, taken to mean slicing, dicing and mincing, and Wüsthof’s Classic 7-inch is the full-size version of this all-purpose knife. Its flat edge and rounded tip suit an up-and-down push cut, which many cooks find easier to learn than rocking a chef’s knife. The blade is long enough for a large onion or a head of broccoli.

At 1.8 inches, the blade gives knuckle clearance and lifts chopped vegetables off the board in one sweep. Hollows ground into each face let slices of zucchini and potato fall free, and the edge is ground thinner than on Wüsthof’s German-profile knives.

Customers choosing between this santoku and an 8-inch chef’s knife can decide by technique. Rocking cooks prefer the chef’s knife’s curved edge; push-cutters prefer the santoku. See the Classic 8-inch chef’s knife for comparison, or the Classic Ikon 7-inch santoku if you prefer Ikon’s rounded grip. Our guide to knife shapes covers the santoku in detail.

    Care

    Wash by hand in warm, soapy water right after use and dry it immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Hone it regularly on a steel and sharpen it when honing no longer restores the edge. Cut on wood or plastic boards, never on glass, stone or metal.
