ZWILLING PROFESSIONAL S Smooth Santoku knife 18 cm

It is the high quality craftsmanship applied to the production of the PROFESSIONAL “S” series Santoku knife that sets it apart from other knives. Originally from Japan, this knife is a recent discovery in the Western world. Japanese knife makers developed it when meat started to feature more on Asian menus. Traditional Japanese knives were basically designed for cutting fish and vegetables, while the Santoku knife is more versatile. It combines excellent cutting qualities for fish and vegetables, but also allows for easy slicing of meat, as if it were the Japanese equivalent of a utility knife. The typical characteristics of this knife include the assembly formed by the back of the blade with the handle. Being very thin, the handle offers an excellent grip. The steel used consists of an extremely hard but very flexible special alloy. The ice-hardened finish of the FRIODUR® blade further improves the properties of the knife. The material can be sharpened extremely precisely so that the Santoku knife will always have an extremely sharp edge: it is perfect for cutting meat and vegetables. Continuous steel from tip to handle ensures excellent life cycle. Surprise your guests with new international flavors by using a ZWILLING Santoku knife to easily prepare interesting Far Eastern dishes.
