Purple Yam Santoku 17 cm

The WÜSTHOF Purple Yam Santoku 17 cm fluted edge is an elegant and powerful addition to any kitchen. Inspired by the traditional Japanese knife shape, this Santoku combines proven German blacksmithing with Asian versatility. With its 17 cm long, perfectly balanced blade, it is the ideal tool for the finest cutting work and an indispensable addition for ambitious hobby chefs and professionals.

The forged blade, made of high-quality Solingen stainless steel, features a Rockwell hardness of 58 HRC. This hardness ensures a long-lasting sharpness, while the precisely ground cutting edge offers exceptional cutting performance. The hollow edge – small indentations along the blade – creates fine air pockets when cutting, which reduce the adhesion of soft or moist food. Ingredients such as fish, meat or vegetables glide effortlessly off the blade, enabling particularly fine and clean cuts.

With a blade width of 4.59 cm, the Santoku is wide enough to easily pick up and guide sliced ingredients. Its well-balanced geometry makes it a perfect tool for a wide range of cutting techniques, from rocking movements to precise chopping. It is ideal for cabbage, fish, fruit, salad, herbs, meat, sausage and vegetables – with impressive ease.

The ergonomic handle in the modern Purple Yam colorway is made of sturdy, durable special plastic that is comfortable to hold and offers maximum control when cutting. The three rivets give the handle extra stability and a classic look that blends harmoniously with any kitchen equipment. Made in Solingen, Germany, the WÜSTHOF Purple Yam Santoku stands for premium quality, durability and precision. It is the perfect knife for those who value outstanding cutting performance and a stylish look.
