Wüsthof Classic Ikon 5-inch Hollow Edge Santoku

Five inches of santoku on a Classic Ikon handle makes a small, quick knife for herbs, a single pepper or a few cloves of garlic. Its size suits a compact board or smaller hands, and it lives comfortably beside a larger chef’s knife. On the cutting board, it is a good alternative to a utility knife, with far more knuckle clearance.

Shallow hollows ground into the blade keep wet produce from clinging, and the fine edge suits precise slicing. We recommend Classic Ikon to cooks who hold a knife fully by the handle, since the rounded grip fills the palm. Its bare heel is another advantage, because a sharpener can reach every inch of the edge. A short blade is also forgiving as you build confidence.

For larger produce, the Classic Ikon 7-inch hollow edge santoku is the full-size version. The Classic 5-inch santoku sets this blade in the riveted Classic handle, and the Classic Ikon 4.5-inch utility knife is a narrower option for slicing. Our knife shapes guide explains the santoku.

    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.
