Product Description
The WÜSTHOF Amici 7" Hollow Edge Rotoku brings lightweight maneuverability to finely chopped herbs, delicate fish, and paper-thin vegetable slices. This Japanese-inspired chef's knife combines a slim blade with a lighter half bolster, helping protect your fingers while allowing the control needed for detailed knifework. It is the only knife in the Amici series with this half-bolster design. From preparing fresh herbs to slicing vegetables for dinner, its versatile shape makes it a useful companion at the cutting board.
The custom-grained Calabrian olive wood handle has an organic shape designed to fit comfortably across hand sizes. Naturally water-resistant and antibacterial, the wood brings distinctive character to the forged German steel blade.
Family-owned for more than 200 years, WÜSTHOF remains rooted in Solingen, Germany, the renowned City of Blades, where it produces its forged knives exclusively. High-precision production meets traditional artisanship, drawing on more than two centuries of refining techniques and the expertise of skilled knife artisans to support enduring quality.
