The Performer 7″ Hollow Edge Rotoku, a WSTHOF innovation, is the evolution of the classic Santoku. Fine slicing, speedy chopping, precise serving this blade masters every task with the ultimate dynamism. The wide blade offers perfect control and also serves as a practical tool: Use it to scoop and transfer ingredients from the cutting board to the skillet or serving bowl.

The curved edge pairs the smooth, rocking cuts essential to a European-style chefs knife with the unparalleled precision of an Asian-style chefs knife. The hollows along the blades edge allow small air pockets to form, minimizing sticking and maximizing efficiency. This knife extends the original three virtues of the traditional Santoku (named for the myriad ways its used for meat, fish, and vegetables) by three more core functions: chopping, serving, and transporting. The name Rotoku is derived from the Japanese number roku (six). Six virtues. One knife. A masterpiece of elegance and functionality.

Performer knives are enhanced with a deep-black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) performance finish, which makes our blades uniquely strong and durable. This finish is heat-resistant, scratchproof, and resilient to damage. No matter the conditions, it sets new standards for frictionless slicing. The non-slip Hexagon-Power-Grip design on the handles guarantees unmatched control with every cut.

For those who never compromise. WSTHOF Performer the knife for the perfect cut.
