Wusthof Ikon Blackwood Santoku Knife – Hollow-Edge 7-Inch

Description

Wusthof Ikon Blackwood Hollow Edge Santoku Knife – Precision Meets Beauty

The Wusthof Ikon Blackwood Hollow Edge Santoku is a Japanese-inspired all-purpose kitchen knife designed for clean, efficient slicing, dicing, and mincing 🥕🍣. With a thinner, straighter blade profile and a rounded tip that gently curves toward the cutting board, this Santoku knife delivers exceptional control and performance—especially for fine, thin cuts.

The hollow edge (granton edge) features small indentations along the blade, helping to minimize drag and prevent food from sticking 🍅—ideal for cutting vegetables, meat, and seafood with ease. Forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel (X50 CrMoV15), this Santoku is sharpened to a precision 10° angle for ultra-sharp results every time.

The stunning handle is crafted from African Blackwood—one of the hardest, most durable woods in the world 🌳. It’s triple-riveted, full-tang, and ergonomically shaped to feel like an extension of your hand.
