ZWILLING Pro Santoku Knife

The hollow edge features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets between the steel and the food. This reduces friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the knife, allowing for faster, more effortless slicing.

The full bolster provides a smooth transition from the handle to the blade, acting as a finger guard and providing balance. It is specifically designed to encourage a professional 'pinch grip,' which offers better control and stability during precise cutting tasks.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel and the sharpness of the edge, we recommend hand washing and drying the knife immediately after use.

A Santoku knife features a flatter edge and a shorter, broader blade compared to a traditional Chef's knife. It is designed for a straight-down chopping motion rather than the rocking motion used with a Chef's knife, making it excellent for slicing, dicing, and mincing vegetables.

While high-carbon stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to corrosion, it should be kept clean and dry to prevent spotting. Regular honing with a sharpening steel will help maintain the blade's edge between professional sharpenings.
