Vintage Wüsthof Classic 17 cm Santoku knife, which is a versatile kitchen knife used for chopping, mincing, and dicing. The blade is made from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel. The hollow-edge design (the oval indentations) creates air pockets to prevent food from sticking to the blade while cutting. The knife is part of the Wüsthof Classic series, which is known for its professional-grade quality and durability. It is made in Solingen, Germany, a city renowned for knife manufacturing.
