Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro Santoku Knife

Read Reviews

Summary

This hollow-ground santoku knife excels for precision chopping, slicing and mincing of meat, fish and vegetables. A special curved bolster design by architect Matteo Thun promotes a perfect professional grip for comfort and safety, and allows both Western rocking cuts and Asian chop cuts.

• Each knife is precision forged using Zwilling’s Sigmaforge process, resulting in an exceptionally hard yet flexible blade.
• Zwilling’s Friodur ice-hardening technique results in a harder, sharper blade that is corrosion resistant and highly elastic.
• Blade has hollow-ground depressions to reduce friction and minimize sticking.
• Precise lasers are used to ensure each blade’s edge is at the optimal cutting angle for maximum sharpness.
• Arched bolster designed by architect Matteo Thun perfectly supports the thumb for ultimate comfort, safety and precise handling. Also allows the full length of the edge to be sharpened, from tip to end.
• The sleek ABS resin handle is triple riveted to the blade and contoured for a secure, comfortable grip.
• Made in Germany by Zwilling J.A. Henckels since 1731.

Use & Care
