ZWILLING
Takumi
7-inch, Santoku
The Santoku knife from the ZWILLING TAKUMI series is a genuine original, a knife made in Japan. Made in the Japanese knife-making city of Seki, this Santoku knife is the result of traditional oriental craftsmanship combined with German engineering skills.
The ultra-sharp Honbazuke honing is particularly worthy of note. The blade was hand-ground in Seki by true masters of their craft and is the result of high-precision skilled work. With our brand new premium steel as the middle layer, 101 layers of steel were embossed, resulting in a blade that is in a class of its own: a hardness of 63 HRC, great initial sharpness and edge retention and at the same time maximum flexibility for cutting, roll-chopping and mincing.
A composition that takes the user to a new dimension of Santoku knives in terms of hardness, edge retention and sharpness. Three virtues of a premium knife, brought to unity in this work of Japanese forging craft.

ZWILLING TAKUMI
A new dimension, made possible by our equally new premium steel. ZWILLING developed this steel and used it for the first time in the new TAKUMI knife series. 100 layers in Damascus design encase the FC 63 core and guarantee the superior hardness and edge retention of all the knives in the series. Japanese knives and ZWILLING become TAKUMI – a combination with a tradition and a new chapter in the success story.
