Wusthof is a brand recognized worldwide and is well known for their exceptional range of knives and kitchen accessories. Over 200 years of masterful crafting has resulted in products that emanate outstanding calibre and performance.
With refined simplicity and impressive elegance, these timeless knives offer everything you need for preparing and plating fresh food. Perfectly balanced, they are comfortable to hold as you prep ingredients for every dish with graceful control.
Manufactured entirely in Solingen, Germany.
What a cook's knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku is for Japan and the whole of Asia: so versatile in shape, weight and edge that it can be used for mincing and chopping herbs, vegetables and fruit as well as for preparing fish and meat. The sharp blade of a Santoku allows anything from regular to wafer-thin cuts - it is therefore now indispensable in kitchens all around the world.
Dimensions: Blade 17cm, Handle 11.2cm, Blade width 5cm
Features:
- Forged from one piece of Wusthof stainless steel
- The full bolster protects your fingers in everyday kitchen use, facilitating effortless and precise work due to its well-balanced design.
- The full tang (the extension of the blade into the handle) makes our knives highly stable. It also provides a counterweight to the blade to achieve perfect balance.
- Made of a special white synthetic material, the handle fits comfortably in your hand; it bends slightly downwards at the end to prevent slipping.
Care Instructions:
- The best cleaning is cleaning by hand.
- Immediately after use, the knife should be cleaned by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.
- Then dry the Wusthof Classic White knife carefully with a cotton cloth (tea towel).
- Cleaning in the dishwasher can cause damage to the knife blade.

We know there's nothing more exciting than your online order arriving on your doorstep as quickly as possible which is why we try our very best to process all orders on the day they are placed!

We focus on keeping our product prices as low as possible rather than building shipping costs into the price and then offering "free" shipping on everything. These fees are not about making money but simply recouping the shipping costs particularly for larger items.

If we don’t have a product in stock when you order it, we will do everything we can to get it as fast as possible for you.
All of our suppliers (apart from one) are New Zealand based with their own warehouses and we receive deliveries from them a few times a week so if we don’t have it, we will get it quickly.
