The Wusthof Classic Creme Ikon 5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is designed with a thinner blade than the traditional chef’s knife, at a 11º cutting edge, and gradually curves up at the very end providing a straighter edge. The hollow edge is crafted with evenly spaced vertical indentations, which create small air pockets between the blade and the food. These small air pockets gently push food off the blade and reduce friction and drag. This knife allows cooks to effortlessly prep a wide array of fresh produce, including starchy vegetables like potatoes, which tend to stick to a knife’s blade.

CLASSIC IKON knives feature a distinctive, double bolster design for professional-style heft, exceptional balance and beauty. The handle is made of a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The elegant shape of the handle, featured in Creme White, is designed for a comfortable grip. 

• Precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon stainless steel.
• Full tang that is triple riveted to the handle for precise control.
• Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention.
• Tempered to 58⁰ Rockwell for easy maintenance.
• The half bolster allows for the knife to be honed and sharpened the entire length of the blade and the heel bolster provides added balance.
