Why you'll like: More Information Care & Use Reviews

You can rely on a Wusthof Classic knife for amazing strength because each blade is forged from one piece of rugged, German stainless steel.

  • You can see the impressive German engineering in this forged knife.
  • Crafted with a special stainless steel alloy to help knives retain a sharp edge longer.
  • The metal that forms the blade extends to the end of the handle. It is called a full tang and adds strength and durability.
  • A well-designed bolster, or hand guard, acts as a protective divider between your hand and the sharp blade.

  • MetroKitchen.com recommends washing your knives by hand; then immediately drying them. Do not let your knives soak in water.
  • Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts. They may stain the surface of your knives.
  • Always use a wooden cutting board to preserve blade sharpness. Cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass quickly dulls blades.
  • To maintain a sharper cutting edge, use a sharpening steel, preferably each time after you've used a knife.
  • It's best to store your Wusthof knife so its edge and your fingers are protected, preferably in a block or in-drawer knife tray.
  • We suggest using a meat cleaver when you need to cut through bone, otherwise you can damage your knife blade.
  • Lifetime Wusthof guarantee against material and manufacturing defects, with normal use and proper care.
  • Made in Germany

"Best of the Best"  
"I ordered both the 7" and the 5" Wusthof Classic Santoku Chef's knives. There are a lot of quality knives out there. There is only one "Best Knife" out there. Wusthof Classic. Prompt processing, correct packing, delivered on time and the best knives I've ever owned. Way to go guys! "

"great knife for cutting"  
"I have both the 5" & 7" knives and they do a great job of cutting. I would not consider buying a different brand than Wusthof. The only thing that disappoints me is that both knives have the vegetables clinging to the side of the knives when cutting with them. That is why I'm giving them a 4 star rating."


Wusthof Classic 5 inch Santoku Knife

A Wusthof Classic 5 inch hollow edge santoku knife, comparable to a cooks knife, makes it easy to chop and dice all types of foods. This Asian chefs knife has a fluted edge which helps to prevent food from sticking to the blade. Its modest size is perfect for small tasks or for those with small hands. Super sharp, forged from a single piece of rugged German stainless steel, this santoku chefs knife is backed by a lifetime Wusthof warranty.
