The Rotoku, a new Wusthof innovation, is the evolution of the classic Santoku.  Fine slicing, swift chopping, precise serving — this blade excels in every task with exceptional dynamism. The broad blade ensures perfect control and also serves as a practical tool: use it to scoop and transfer ingredients from the chopping board to the pan or serving dish.

The curved edge combines the effortless rocking motion of a European-style chef’s knife with the unrivalled precision of an Asian-style blade. The hollow indentations along the blade’s edge create small air pockets, reducing sticking and enhancing efficiency.

This knife expands on the original “three virtues” of the traditional Santoku (so named for its versatility in cutting meat, fish, and vegetables) by adding three more essential functions: chopping, serving, and transporting. The name “Rotoku” is inspired by the Japanese word “roku” (“six”). Six virtues, one knife. A masterpiece of elegance and functionality.

Performer knives feature a deep-black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) performance finish, making our blades exceptionally strong and durable. This finish is heat-resistant, scratchproof, and highly resilient to damage. Whatever the conditions, it sets a new standard for frictionless slicing. The non-slip Hexagon-Power-Grip© handle design guarantees unparalleled control with every cut.
