Victorinox Swiss Classic Santoku Knife

The fluted edge, or granton edge, creates small air pockets between the blade and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents thin slices of vegetables or meat from sticking to the knife while you work.

A Santoku features a flatter blade profile and a shorter, more rounded tip compared to the curved belly of a traditional chef's knife. This design is optimized for a straight up-and-down chopping motion rather than the rocking motion typically used with a chef's knife.

Yes, the TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) handle is designed for an ergonomic, non-slip grip. Its lightweight nature helps reduce hand fatigue, making it comfortable to use even when you have a large volume of ingredients to prep.

While the stainless steel is durable and corrosion-resistant, we recommend hand-washing the knife with mild detergent and drying it immediately. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can dull the edge and degrade the handle material over time.

No, this Santoku is designed for precision slicing, dicing, and mincing of vegetables, fruits, and boneless proteins. Using it on bones or frozen foods can chip or damage the fine edge of the blade.
