The Wüsthof Performer 7" Santoku is the ultimate tool for chefs and home cooks who demand precision, efficiency, and effortless control in the kitchen. Designed as Japan’s answer to the European-style chef’s knife, this Santoku excels at slicing meat, mincing herbs, chopping vegetables, and crafting wafer-thin cuts of fish. Its 7-inch wide blade is slimmer than a traditional European chef’s knife, giving it remarkable agility without sacrificing cutting capacity. The 20° edge angle creates an exceptionally sharp blade, allowing ingredients to glide under the knife with minimal friction. Hollowed indentations along the edge form tiny air pockets as you slice, reducing sticking and maximizing speed and efficiency.
Perfectly balanced for comfort and control, the Performer Santoku delivers outstanding performance in demanding tasks that require both precision and versatility. Whether you’re tackling delicate vegetables or dense proteins, the knife feels effortless in hand, letting you focus on technique and presentation. Every cut demonstrates the strength of Wüsthof engineering, offering unmatched consistency and confidence.
The blade is finished with a deep-black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, enhancing durability and setting new standards for frictionless slicing. Heat-resistant, scratchproof, and resilient against daily wear, the DLC finish ensures this knife maintains its exceptional performance over time. The forged full bolster provides additional weight and balance, stabilizing every movement for precise, controlled cuts. Combined with the Hexagon-Power-Grip handle design, this Santoku offers a non-slip, ergonomic grip that reduces hand fatigue while maximizing control during prolonged use.
Forged from premium stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 58 HRC, the Performer Santoku is built to maintain its razor-sharp edge, withstand the rigors of daily use, and perform reliably for years to come. Produced in Germany under strict quality standards, every knife undergoes meticulous craftsmanship to ensure consistency and reliability for professional and home kitchens alike. At 7 inches in blade length and 1.8 inches in width, with a 4.5-inch handle, this knife balances size, strength, and maneuverability for all cutting tasks.
For cooks who demand ultimate sharpness, effortless glide, and inspired precision, the Wüsthof Performer 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is a versatile, high-performance addition to any kitchen.
