Product Description
The Wusthof Gourmet Asian 3-Piece Knife Set brings together three knives suited to Asian-style preparation work: a Santoku with hollow-ground edge to reduce drag and food sticking, a wide-bladed Chinese Chef's Knife for chopping, portioning and transferring prep, and a pair of take-apart Kitchen Shears for poultry, herbs and general cutting tasks. It is a practical starting point for a professional kitchen that handles a broad range of ingredients and prep styles.
All three blades are laser-cut from high-carbon German steel and hardened to 56 Rockwell, which gives them a durable, easily maintained edge that holds up well through consistent daily use. The hollow-edge Santoku in particular performs reliably when working through vegetables, fish and boneless proteins at pace — the granton-style scallops reduce the suction that would otherwise slow prep on a busy station.
- Santoku with hollow edge reduces drag during high-volume vegetable and protein prep
- Wide Chinese Chef's Knife suits chopping, portioning and bench transfer tasks
- Take-apart shears allow thorough cleaning and are dishwasher safe
- Full-tang construction gives balance and stability through extended prep sessions
- POM handles resist fading and discolouration under regular commercial use
The POM (polyoxymethylene) handles are designed to resist moisture absorption and the build-up of material in the seams — a practical consideration in a busy kitchen environment where hygiene standards matter. The full-tang construction runs the steel through to the base of the handle, which improves balance and reduces fatigue during longer prep shifts.
This set is well suited to professional kitchens looking to equip an Asian-focused prep station, or as a reliable general-purpose addition where a cleaver-style knife and Santoku are both in regular rotation. For kitchens requiring a broader knife roll or more specialised blades, a wider range of individual Wusthof pieces or multi-piece sets is available.
If you are building out a prep station and want to confirm the right combination of blades for your kitchen's specific workflow, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Gourmet series is designed for professional use and the 56 Rockwell hardness gives the blades a reliable, restorable edge under regular service. They are well suited to kitchens with consistent prep demands, though for very high-volume operations where knives are in constant use across multiple covers, a heavier-duty forged range may offer longer intervals between sharpening.
- The knives are best washed by hand and dried promptly to preserve the edge and handle condition — this is the standard recommendation for all quality kitchen knives in a commercial setting. The take-apart shears are the exception and can be fully disassembled for dishwasher cleaning. Regular honing before each service will help maintain the edge between formal sharpenings.
- The Santoku and Chinese Chef's Knife are both versatile enough for general prep work beyond Asian-style cooking — the Santoku in particular is a commonly used all-rounder for vegetables, fish and boneless protein. Kitchens with a broader menu range will get practical use from both blades, and the shears are useful in any kitchen regardless of cuisine style.
