When it comes to finely chopping fresh herbs, cutting fish, or slicing vegetables the 17cm Amici Santoku Knife is the versatile all-arounder you’re looking for. This Japanese-inspired chef's knife is the only knife in the Amici series with a lighter half bolster — the area between the blade and the handle on forged knives. The half bolster both protects your fingers from the blade and provides enough lightweight maneuverability for more detailed knifework. The Santoku blade is also slimmer, making this knife particularly suitable for fine cuts and paper-thin slices. The custom-grained Calabrian olive wood handle is naturally water-resistant and antibacterial, and its organic shape fits comfortably in hands of any size.

About Wüsthof Amici: Forged in Germany, inspired by Italy
Each Amici knife pays homage to Wüsthof's collaboration with Castello di Serragiumenta — a 16th century castle in the Calabrian countryside.
Inspired by the abundant sunshine and farmland of Calabria, Italy, Amici embodies “la dolce vita”, a joyful zest for life. The Amici series combines Wüsthof's iconic, precision-forged blades with uniquely grained Calabrian olive wood handles, fusing modern craftsmanship with Italian design sensibilities to create an ideal knife for preparing and sharing meals. Benvenuti Amici.
