Wüsthof PARTNER 7" Hollow Edge Santoku
Thin Cuts with Less Sticking
The 7-inch blade is shaped for slicing, chopping, and precise downward cuts. It handles thin cucumber and radish slices, delicate fish portions, herbs, vegetables, and tender meats such as prosciutto without the extra length or curved profile of a traditional chef's knife.
Hollow-ground indentations along the cutting edge create small air pockets between the blade and the food. This helps reduce sticking and makes it easier to maintain a smooth cutting rhythm through vegetables and other moist ingredients.
Wüsthof PARTNER 7" Hollow Edge Santoku
A Precise Alternative to a Chef's Knife
The Santoku profile suits cooks who prefer a straighter cutting edge, a wide blade, and controlled downward cuts. The hollow edge reduces food buildup, while the forged half bolster and full tang give the knife the balance and stability needed for regular use.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
What is the PARTNER 7" Hollow Edge Santoku best used for?
The Santoku is designed for controlled chopping and thin slicing of vegetables, fruit, herbs, boneless fish, and tender meat. Its wide blade provides knuckle clearance, while the relatively straight cutting edge supports direct downward cuts.
How does this Santoku differ from the PARTNER Chef's Knife?
The Santoku has a broad Asian-style blade suited to precise downward cuts and thin slices. The chef's knife has a more curved cutting edge for rocking motions, general chopping, and longer slicing strokes. Both have forged construction and ergonomic handles.
What is the benefit of the hollow edge?
The indentations along the blade create small air pockets that help reduce sticking during slicing. This is particularly useful when cutting thin cucumber, radish, potato, and other vegetable slices that can cling to the steel.
Can I use this Santoku to prepare meat and fish?
Yes. Its fine cutting edge handles boneless fish, tender meats, poultry, and cured meat such as prosciutto. It is intended for slicing and portioning rather than cutting through bones or frozen ingredients.
