Victorinox Swiss Classic Santoku Knife

The fluted edge, often called a Granton edge, features small indentations along the blade. These create tiny air pockets between the steel and the food, which significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients like potatoes or cucumbers from sticking to the knife while you slice.

No, this Santoku is designed for precision tasks like dicing, chopping, and slicing vegetables, fish, and boneless meats. Using it on bones or frozen foods can damage the blade's edge and is not recommended.

Stamped blades are cut from a single sheet of metal, making them significantly lighter than forged knives. This makes the knife very agile and comfortable to use for long prep sessions, though it may feel less substantial in the hand than a heavier, forged alternative.

Yes, this knife is dishwasher safe. However, for the longest blade life and to keep the edge sharp for as long as possible, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.

The handle is made from thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), which provides a soft-touch, non-slip grip. This material offers better control and comfort, especially when your hands are wet or you are working through a large volume of ingredients.
