Wüsthof Performer Hollow Edge Santoku 17 cm

The Wüsthof Performer Hollow Edge Santoku 17 cm is a high-performance knife inspired by the traditional Japanese blade shape and designed to deliver precision, smooth cutting and versatility in everyday prep work. As the Japanese counterpart to the European chef’s knife, it stands out for its agility and excellent control in fast, fine cutting tasks.

It is ideal for cutting meat, mincing herbs, chopping vegetables and preparing wafer-thin slices of fish. The wide blade is slimmer than a typical European chef’s knife, supporting efficient cutting, while the hollows along the edge create small air pockets during slicing to reduce sticking and improve efficiency.

Wüsthof highlights the deep-black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating in this range, which reduces friction for smoother slicing while making the blade especially heat-resistant, scratchproof and resilient to damage. The Hexagon-Power-Grip handle provides a secure non-slip grip, while the full bolster ensures ideal balance between blade and handle.
