ZWILLING Four Star Santoku Knife

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

While traditional Santoku knives have a flatter profile for straight up-and-down chopping, this rocking version features a curved edge. This allows you to use a rocking motion for mincing herbs or garlic, making it a more versatile tool for various cutting techniques.

Yes, this knife is dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing to maintain the blade's sharpness and the integrity of the handle over time. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can dull the edge and potentially damage the handle material.

FRIODUR ice-hardening is a specialized process where the steel is cooled to sub-zero temperatures. This improves the molecular structure of the metal, resulting in a blade that is exceptionally hard, flexible, and highly resistant to corrosion.

The Four Star series is known for its ergonomic, seamless handle design. It is contoured to fit comfortably in the hand, reducing fatigue during repetitive tasks like dicing large quantities of vegetables.

The seamless bolster acts as a transition point between the handle and the blade, providing a secure grip and balance. It also serves as a safety feature by preventing your fingers from slipping forward onto the sharp edge during use.
