Wüsthof Classic Ikon 7-inch Hollow Edge Santoku

For a Japanese-style all-purpose knife, 7 inches is the standard santoku length, and Wüsthof’s Classic Ikon version puts it on a handle shaped to fill the palm. Use it to slice onions, dice peppers and chop herbs with a straight downward stroke. The length suits a full-size cutting board and a family’s worth of vegetables.

Oval dimples on both faces stop thin rounds of potato or cucumber from sticking to the steel. The edge is ground finer than on Wüsthof’s chef’s knives for clean cuts through vegetables and boneless meat, and the 1.8-inch blade height leaves room for your knuckles.

If you have never tried a santoku, we recommend giving this shape a place in your kitchen; it may become the knife you reach for first. If you rock your knife as you chop, a chef’s knife like the Classic Ikon 8-inch may suit you better. The Ikon 7-inch hollow edge santoku has this blade with an African blackwood handle, and the Classic Ikon 5-inch is the smaller size. Our kitchen knife shapes guide compares the santoku and the chef’s knife.

    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.
