Wüsthof Classic IKON 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, Black – precision-forged in Solingen, Germany – is the go-to santoku for home cooks who want razor-sharp slicing, dicing, and mincing in one knife. Right now it's $85.00 at Cutter's Bench, down from a $199.99 compare-at price, so purchase online and save 57% instantly. Apply coupon code BENCH10 for an extra 10% off.
The Classic IKON santoku is tempered to 58 HRC with a 10-degree PEtec edge. Use a Wüsthof whetstone or honing steel at roughly 15 degrees per side, pulling the blade heel to tip to cover the full edge. Avoid pull-through sharpeners on the hollow indentations; a stone preserves the hollow-edge air pockets that keep food from sticking.
Hone before each use and sharpen every 6–12 months. PEtec blades hold their edge twice as long as earlier Wüsthof models.
Santoku style straight slicing handles vegetables, proteins, herbs, and fine mincing. The thinner blade than a traditional chef's knife suits cooks who prefer an upturned tip and straighter edge for push cuts.
Compared with the Classic Ikon chef's knife, this santoku offers a shorter, lighter blade for smaller hands and tighter boards. Laser-cut stamped lines cost less but sacrifice forging and edge retention. This forged IKON model sits at the top of Wüsthof's value ladder – at $85.00 with 57% off, it's the affordable entry into premium forged cutlery.
$85.00 vs. $199.99 compare-at = $114.99 in savings. Stack coupon BENCH10 for another 10% off. Orders over $45.00 ship free – this knife qualifies.

I've been cooking seriously for about fifteen years and finally treated myself to this santoku. The hollow edge makes a real difference with sticky things like potatoes and cucumbers — nothing drags or sticks. The handle feels like it was molded for my hand. Worth every penny, especially at this price.
Came razor sharp out of the box and the balance point is right at the bolster where I like it. Took one star off only because the Pakkawood handle shows fingerprints more than I expected. Cuts through butternut squash like it's butter though.
Bought this for my wife and she uses it every single day.
