Zwilling PROFESSIONAL S Santoku Knife 18 cm

The serrated Santoku knife from the PROFESSIONAL "S" series stands out for its particularly high quality. It originated a long time ago in Japan, but is a relatively new invention. Japanese knifemakers developed it when meat became increasingly popular on Asian menus. Traditional Japanese knives were primarily suited for cutting fish and vegetables. The Santoku knife, on the other hand, is even more versatile. It combines excellent cutting properties for the aforementioned ingredients, but is also easy to cut meat with. This is why it is the Japanese form of the all-purpose knife.

This knife features a unique design: the upper edge of the blade is flush with the handle. Since the handle is also quite thin, the fingers have plenty of room to grip. The steel used is made of a special alloy that is extremely hard yet flexible. Refining the FRIODUR® blade using an ice-hardening process further enhances the knife's properties. The material can be ground particularly precisely, resulting in an extremely sharp blade. This makes for an effortless, clean cut. The continuous steel from tip to handle also ensures a long life.
