The Wüsthof Gourmet 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife in Black is your go-to blade for Asian and American cooking alike — and if you're looking up how to use a Wüsthof hollow edge santoku, this is the place to buy it: $37.50, down from $75.00, a 50% discount, with coupon BENCH10 for an extra 10% at Cutter's Bench.
How to Use the Hollow Edge Santoku
The santoku's thinner blade and straighter edge excel at push-cutting and chopping vegetables, slicing boneless proteins, and mincing herbs. Use a smooth forward-down "chop and slide" motion with the 10°-edge blade. The evenly spaced hollow-edge indentations create air pockets between blade and food, so extra-thin cucumber, potato, and soft cheese slices release cleanly instead of sticking — the classic non-stick santoku advantage.

Comparison: Gourmet vs. Classic Santoku
The Gourmet line is laser-stamped — lighter in the hand and dramatically more affordable — while Classic knives are forged with a full bolster. If you want Wüsthof sharpness and German quality under $40, Gourmet is the smart buy; choose Classic if you prefer heavier forged balance. This santoku also complements a chef's knife: narrower blade, straighter profile, better for vegetable-forward cooking.
Who Should Buy It
Home cooks who chop a lot of vegetables, fans of Japanese-style santoku technique, anyone upgrading from a dull starter knife, and gift buyers who want a name-brand blade at a discounted price.
