ZWILLING Henckels Santoku

The hollow ground edge features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets. These pockets prevent food from sticking to the side of the knife, allowing for faster, more efficient slicing.

Yes, this knife is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the sharpness of the hand-honed edge and the integrity of the handle over the long term, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.

Fully forged construction means the knife is crafted from a single piece of steel, resulting in a stronger, more durable blade that is perfectly balanced. This process provides a sturdier feel and better control compared to stamped blades.

S.C.T. (Super-hard Structural Steel) technology integrates a harder steel core into the tang of the knife. This reinforces the structural integrity of the handle area, ensuring the knife remains robust and resistant to wear over years of heavy use.

The traditional triple-rivet handle is designed with an ergonomic shape that provides a secure, balanced grip for most hand sizes. The polypropylene material is lightweight and slip-resistant, offering stability during repetitive cutting tasks.

A 7-inch Santoku is generally lighter and more maneuverable than a standard 8-inch Chef's knife. Its flatter blade profile is specifically optimized for precise, downward chopping and slicing, making it an excellent choice for vegetables and boneless meats.
