Santoku Knife 17cm - Wild Blueberry
Santoku Knife 17cm - Wild Blueberry
Wild Blueberry is a deep, honest blue — the kind you see on stained hands after a day in the orchard. It’s a colour that feels familiar here. From roadside punnets to full harvest crates, fruit picking runs deep in New Zealand kitchens — and this handle carries that same grit and seasonality.
The matte finish wears well in a fast-paced kitchen, hiding scuffs and wiping clean. Paired with WÜSTHOF’s German-made stainless steel blade, it’s sharp, balanced, and ready for long hours on the board. Lightweight in hand, easy to grip, and made to move with you.
No fuss. Just a good knife with a handle that nods to where we come from.
