help Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Santoku Knife FAQ
What is the hollow edge on the Wusthof Classic Santoku for?
The hollow edge uses small dimples along the blade to reduce sticking when slicing foods like cucumbers, potatoes, and onions. It does not make food fall away perfectly, but it helps during repetitive prep.
Is the Wusthof Classic Santoku made in Germany or Japan?
The Wusthof Classic line is made in Solingen, Germany, even though the santoku blade shape comes from Japanese kitchen-knife tradition. It combines a German forged construction with a flatter, vegetable-friendly profile.
Should the Wusthof Santoku replace a chef's knife?
It can replace a chef's knife for many prep tasks, especially slicing, chopping vegetables, and cutting boneless proteins. A traditional 8-inch chef's knife still has more belly for rocking cuts and more length for large squash or melons.
Can the Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Santoku go in the dishwasher?
Wusthof knives should be hand-washed and dried, even though the Classic handle is synthetic and durable. Dishwashers can dull the edge, stain the steel, and damage the handle over time.
