Wüsthof GOURMET 7" Hollow Edge Santoku
Lightweight Control for Precise Cutting
The 7-inch blade has enough length for regular chopping and slicing while remaining agile in hand. Its 1.7-inch width provides useful knuckle clearance and a broad surface for moving prepared ingredients from the cutting board.
GOURMET knives use non-forged construction, making this Santoku lighter than WÜSTHOF's forged models. It suits cooks who prefer a straighter cutting motion and less weight in the hand.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
What is the GOURMET 7" Hollow Edge Santoku best used for?
The Santoku is particularly useful for chopping vegetables, mincing herbs, slicing fruit, and preparing boneless fish or meat. Its broad blade provides knuckle clearance, while the relatively straight cutting edge supports controlled downward cuts and thin slicing.
How does this Santoku differ from the GOURMET Chef's Knife?
The Santoku has a broader Asian-style profile and a relatively straight cutting edge that favors direct chopping and thin slices. The chef's knife has a more curved edge suited to rocking cuts, general chopping, and longer slicing strokes.
What does the hollow edge do when slicing vegetables?
The indentations along the blade create small air pockets between the steel and the food. These help reduce sticking when preparing thin slices of cucumber, potato, fruit, and other ingredients that tend to cling to a smooth blade.
Is the GOURMET Santoku forged like the CLASSIC Santoku?
No. The GOURMET Santoku has a lightweight, precision-cut blade rather than forged construction. It is made in Germany and hardened to 56 HRC, providing a lighter alternative to WÜSTHOF's forged Santoku knives.
