Zwilling Pro Santoku Knife

The hollow edge features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets between the steel and the food. This design significantly reduces friction and prevents thin slices of vegetables or meat from sticking to the blade while you chop.

While the manufacturer states it is dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blade's edge and potentially damage the handle material over time.

The curved bolster is designed to encourage a professional 'pinch grip,' where you hold the base of the blade between your thumb and index finger. This promotes better control, comfort, and safety during repetitive cutting tasks.

Ice-hardening is a specialized process where the steel is cooled to extremely low temperatures during manufacturing. This improves the molecular structure of the metal, resulting in a blade that is more resistant to corrosion and better at holding a sharp edge over years of use.

No, this Santoku is designed for precision tasks like slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables, fish, and boneless meats. Using it on bones or frozen foods can chip the fine edge of the blade.
