Wusthof Grand Prix II Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

Wüsthof Grand Prix II Hollow Edge Santoku Knife – Precision for Everyday Prep

Elevate your prep game with the Wüsthof Grand Prix II Hollow Edge Santoku Knife 🔪—a versatile, Japanese-style blade designed for precision slicing, dicing, and mincing. Whether you're crafting a vibrant stir-fry 🥕🥩 or slicing delicate sashimi 🍣, this Santoku delivers clean, stick-free cuts every time.

The hollow edge (granton edge) creates air pockets along the blade, minimizing friction and preventing food from clinging as you cut. With its shorter, cleaver-style blade, this knife is nimble, lightweight, and easy to control, especially ideal for smaller hands or fine-detail tasks.

Forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, the Grand Prix II Santoku is razor sharp, perfectly balanced, and built for a lifetime of kitchen creativity.

Care of Knives

Honing and Sharpening 

Honing or sharpening depends on whether your knife has lost its sharpness or if it is really blunt. A blade's loss of sharpness can be treated using a honing steel. For dull, blunt knives, use a sharpener. To ensure a beautifully sharp blade, we recommend you hone your knives regularly, after each use.  Regular honing prevents blades from deteriorating quickly.

Cleaning

Clean your knives right after use. Thoroughly wash your blades with a non-abrasive sponge or brush, then dry immediately afterwards. Use warm soapy water. Always carefully dry your knives with the blade facing away from you to prevent unintentional injuries. While Wusthof knives are suitable to clean in the dishwasher, we recommend you hand wash only to prolong the life of your blades. Dishwashers can cause your blades to rub against objects during the cycle, causing the blades to deteriorate.  

Proper Storage

Proper storage of your knives and accessories ensures they will last for a very long time. There are three ways we recommend storing your knives and honing steels; knife blocks, magnetic bar holders, and special cases and space saving rolls. Knife blocks help your knives to sit beautifully on your counter top, while keeping them close at hand. Magnetic bars safely hold your knives and provide space. Special cases and space saving rolls allow you to easily transport your knives without causing damage or harm. Make sure your knives are completely dry before storing to protect the quality of the cutlery and accessories.
