Wüsthof Performer Hollow Edge Rotoku 17cm

The Wüsthof Performer Hollow Edge Rotoku 17cm is a high-performance knife designed to deliver precision, fluid cutting and excellent versatility in everyday preparation. Created as an exclusive evolution of the classic Santoku, it combines the agility of a Japanese-inspired blade with a more dynamic and natural cutting motion.

The wide blade offers excellent control during use and also makes it easy to scoop up and transfer ingredients directly into a pan, pot or bowl. Unlike a traditional Santoku with a straighter edge, the Rotoku features a curved cutting edge that supports a smoother rocking motion for slicing, chopping and mincing. Wüsthof presents this model as a knife of “six virtues”, suitable for working with meat, fish and vegetables, as well as for chopping, mincing and transferring ingredients.

The hollow edge helps create small air pockets that reduce food sticking and improve cutting efficiency. As is characteristic of the Performer series, the blade features a black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, described by the brand as ultra-hard and low-friction for smoother, more precise cutting. The non-slip Hexagon-Power-Grip handle and the half bolster design reinforce control and stability with every movement.
