Performer Rotoku Hollow Edge 17 cm | 7 inch

Whether finely slicing, quickly chopping, or precisely mincing – the Rotoku masters every task with dynamic versatility. The wide blade offers perfect control and also serves as a practical tool: slice, load, and conveniently transport ingredients to a pan, pot, or bowl.

The Rotoku is the evolution of the classic Santoku – an exclusive invention from WÜSTHOF. With its curved cutting edge, it enables chopping with a flowing, rocking movement that would not be possible with a straight Santoku blade. It simultaneously extends the ‘three virtues’ of the santoku (working on meat, fish, and vegetables) with three more: chopping, mincing, and transporting. Six virtues – one knife. The name ‘Rotoku’ is derived from the Japanese number ‘roku’ (meaning ‘six’) – it’s a masterpiece that combines elegance and functionality.

The dimples (small indentations) along the blade form air cushions that help prevent ingredients from sticking to the blade – for maximum efficiency.
The blade with our jet black, ultra-hard Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) performance finish glides precisely and effortlessly through both soft and hard ingredients, thanks to its exceptional and almost frictionless smoothness.

The slip-resistant handle with our Hexagon-Power-Grip© structure and half bolster design guarantees excellent control with each movement.

WÜSTHOF Performer – the knife for the perfect slice.
