About the blade

This santoku has a gently curved profile that rises at the tip, giving it a straighter cutting edge than many western-style chef’s knives. That makes it a useful all-round knife for vegetables, herbs, fish and boneless meat. The hollow edge is especially handy when working with softer or stickier ingredients.

About the Classic Ikon Crème handle

The Crème handle gives the knife a clean, modern look, while the double bolster helps with balance in the hand. Wüsthof has designed the Classic Ikon range with comfort and control in mind, so it feels settled during longer prep sessions.
