Overview
Cooks who prefer a santoku as their main knife get one here, paired with a small flat cut paring knife for detail work. Both are forged from high carbon stainless steel, and the santoku carries a hollow edge, a row of shallow recesses ground along the side of the blade.
Pairing a santoku with a paring knife gives a compact two blade kit with matched forged construction. The listing is sparse, though: it names the knives, steel and warranty but says nothing about hardness or care, and it lists the handle as wood.
Who it's for
Small kitchens wanting a minimal pair built around a santoku suit it. Someone building a full kit with a serrated knife and storage will need to buy more.
Pros and cons
- Santoku and paring knife in one set
- Hollow edge on the santoku blade
- Forged high carbon stainless steel
- Lifetime warranty against defects
- Steel hardness not listed
- No knife block or sheaths included
- Listed blade length below the santoku's name size
Performance notes
Results depend mostly on the santoku, whose hollow edge adds shallow recesses along the blade face. Forged high carbon stainless steel sets how long both edges stay sharp, but no hardness figure is given to judge that.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Wüsthof Classic 2-piece Asian set come with a block or wall strip for storage?
No. The set lists only the paring knife and the santoku, with no block, strip or sheaths, so storage has to come from elsewhere.
Is the paring knife in the Wüsthof Asian set also hollow edge?
The description calls it a flat cut paring knife and names only the santoku as hollow edge.
Why does the Wüsthof Asian set list a blade length under 7 inches?
The specs give a blade length of 6.69 inches, while the description calls it a 7 inch santoku. The named size appears rounded up.
