> Are Wüsthof and J.A. Henckels much better than the Victorinox knives?
They mostly (if not always) use the same steel. Wüsthof and Henckels take it to a slightly higher hardness, but the main gains are, if you prefer them, a thicker forged blade, a full-length bolster all the way to the heel (at least for many models), and a full-tang handle with riveted grip slabs.
> Are there any obscure Japanese knifemakers I should know of that make exceptional Santoku knives?
There are many, but they tend to have exceptional price tags to match. One very nice santoku: https://www.amazon.com/Yoshihiro-Hayate-ZDP-189-Stainless-Santoku/dp/B00BCOXWDK/
Well-known Japanese makers make quite good santoku knives at a reasonable price. For example:
If you want a Western-style handle: https://www.amazon.com/Tojiro-DP-Santoku-6-7-17cm/dp/B000UAPQEA
If you want a Japanese-style handle: https://www.amazon.com/Tojiro-Finished-Shiro-ko-Kasumi-Santoku/dp/B000UAQORS/
