7-Inch Santoku Knife for Home Cooks

The Wusthof Classic 1061731717 is a 7-inch santoku knife built for home cooks and professional chefs who need a single blade for slicing, dicing and mincing. Its high-carbon stainless steel construction delivers durability and precision across a wide range of ingredients. The hollow-edge blade reduces food adhesion during repetitive cuts.

Hollow Edge and Full Tang Benefits

The hollow edge creates small air pockets that prevent slices from sticking to the blade surface, speeding up vegetable prep and protein portioning. Full tang construction extends the metal through the handle, giving the knife balanced weight distribution and stable control for detailed work. The synthetic handle resists moisture and maintains grip during extended sessions.

Simple Care and Common Pitfalls

The knife arrives ready to use with no assembly required; hand washing and immediate drying preserve the edge and handle finish. Dishwasher cycles degrade the synthetic handle and dull the high-carbon steel faster than manual cleaning. Improper storage against other blades chips the hollow-edge profile, so a block or magnetic strip is recommended.

Questions about this item

How often does the high-carbon stainless steel blade need professional sharpening?

The high-carbon stainless steel holds its edge well; most home cooks only need professional sharpening once a year with regular honing on a steel between sessions.

What is the first limitation when using the 7-inch santoku continuously for large prep tasks?

The 0.43 lb weight and 1.75 in width make the knife agile, but the 7-inch blade length limits the volume you can process in a single rocking motion.

Does the synthetic handle become slippery or warm during all-day professional use?

The ergonomic synthetic handle resists heat transfer and maintains grip even when wet, so it stays comfortable and secure during extended cutting sessions.
