Review: Wusthof Classic 17cm Oriental Cooks Knife - I have had this knife a few months now and I love it, it is a great size, not too heavy and is very Versatile, I use it for cutting/chopping everything! (except bread) It has stayed sharp and the hollow edge helps stop things sticking to it when cutting. It is very expensive but I guess you get what you pay for. I also have Wüsthof CLASSIC Cook's knife - 4572 / 20 cm this knife is a little heavier but is also a great all-rounder. Review: Fantastically sharp and really well balanced - Excellent alternative to a classic kitchen knife. Fantastic for prepping and dicing vegetables. The bevel is narrower than a traditional knife which means it can also produce really fine slices. Nicely balanced so also easy to use for delicate work as well as big chopping jobs. Great knife. ## Features - Japanese-style cook's knife designed for chopping, slicing, dicing - Alternating hollows on blade's sides prevent food from clinging - Blade, bolster, tang forged from single piece of high-carbon stainless steel - Tough polypropylene handle with full tang and traditional three rivets - Made in Germany ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005MEGX | | Best Sellers Rank | 852,289 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 87 in Asian Knives 529 in Chef's Knives 7,182 in Cutlery (Home & Kitchen) | | Blade Colour | Silver | | Blade Edge | Hollow | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 17 Centimetres | | Brand Name | Wüsthof | | Colour | Black | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (683) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04002293418308 | | Handle Material | Polymer | | Included Components | No | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 29.9 Centimetres | | Item Type Name | Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Santoku Knife 7 | | Item Weight | 181 g | | Manufacturer | VEQ1M | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4002293418308 | | Material Type | stainless_steel | | Model Number | WU4183 | | Set Name | 3 | | Size | 17 cm | | UPC | 400022934183 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Blade edge:** Hollow - **Blade material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Wüsthof - **Colour:** Black - **Handle material:** Polymer ## Images ![Wusthof Classic 17cm Oriental Cooks Knife - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513WN4TdISL.jpg) ![Wusthof Classic 17cm Oriental Cooks Knife - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71f9-W-wjqL.jpg) ![Wusthof Classic 17cm Oriental Cooks Knife - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31f3fJrghBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the weight of this knife in grams?** A: Just weighed mine. Goes in at 173 grams.Hope this helps. Great knife **Q: Will I receive the old model as pictured or the new model post 2020 logo change?** A: I don’t know if it’s me, mine was looks like not wusthof at all. Very different to what i bought from online retailer. **Q: Can this knife be sharpened with the normal Wustoff knife sharpener or does it need to be sharpened with a whetstone?** A: There is a difference between " sharpen" and " honed". Each time you use the knife you should hone it on a steel ie the Wursthof. It keeps the blade in line and true and makes very light work of cutting. It will eventually get blunted and then needs sharpening. A tricky process look on YouTube. Would recommend getting a professional job about £7 per knife. Hope this helps **Q: I have purchased expensive knives in the past that have rusted very quickly, I know that this is a trusted brand but is this knife reliable?** A: Mine shows no sign of rusting. I always rinse the blade in very hot to boiling water and dry quickly with a cloth and leave out - still very warm - to air dry before hanging back on the magnetic strip holder. This is how i treat all my knives and never have a rust problem. I don't use knife blocks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wusthof Classic 17cm Oriental Cooks Knife *by M***T on 27 November 2013* I have had this knife a few months now and I love it, it is a great size, not too heavy and is very Versatile, I use it for cutting/chopping everything! (except bread) It has stayed sharp and the hollow edge helps stop things sticking to it when cutting. It is very expensive but I guess you get what you pay for. I also have Wüsthof CLASSIC Cook's knife - 4572 / 20 cm this knife is a little heavier but is also a great all-rounder. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastically sharp and really well balanced *by J***3 on 2 November 2020* Excellent alternative to a classic kitchen knife. Fantastic for prepping and dicing vegetables. The bevel is narrower than a traditional knife which means it can also produce really fine slices. Nicely balanced so also easy to use for delicate work as well as big chopping jobs. Great knife. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice knife if sharpened correctly *by P***W on 10 February 2017* Good quality and very sharp knife. Be careful when sharpening as the blade needs sharpening at a different angle to other Wusthof knives. Most Wusthof knives need regular honing and occasional sharpening at a 15 degree angle. Wusthof Santoku knives need to be sharpened at a 10 degrees angle. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wusthof 4183 Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Santoku Knife 7, 7", Black - MAC Knife Professional series 8" Chef's knife w/dimples MTH-80 - Wusthof Classic Ikon 6-inch Utility Knife Stainless & Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/48322397-wusthof-classic-17cm-oriental-cooks-knife](https://www.desertcart.it/products/48322397-wusthof-classic-17cm-oriental-cooks-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
