Description
This 7-inch hollow edge santoku is perfect for all kitchen tasks. Santoku - Japanese for "three virtues" - excels at three cutting techniques: expertly mince garlic, slice cucumber, and dice onions with this Asian all-rounder. The hollow edge features a blade that has small indentations, known as grantons, that prevent food from sticking while cutting.
ZWILLING Pro boasts a unique curved bolster that acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was designed with a broad curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the chopping motion Japanese knives were designed for. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip.
- Curved bolster acts as an extension of the hand, encouraging cutting with improved precision, safety, and comfort
- SIGMAFORGE knife is forged from a single piece of special formula high-carbon stainless steel
- Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade starts sharper, stays sharper longer
- Precision-honed blade and laser-controlled edge ensures ideal cutting angle for sharpness and durability
- Full tang and handle are triple riveted for superb stability and comfort
- Dishwasher safe, hand wash recommended
- Made in Germany

Chop Away!
This Santoku with its curved bolster feels perfect in my hand. I didn't realize I was holding the knife incorrectly (I held it like a hammer...wrong) until I grabbed this with a pinch grip on that curved bolster. Because it's forged, it is a heavier knife, which I prefer. I feel like the knife does the work for me. The blade is incredibly razor sharp, even sharper than my chef knife. This is my go-to knife for chopping veggies. It makes cutting an onion super easy and no tears. I think it's because I'm cutting cleanly not tearing it.
If you just want one knife in your kitchen, this would be a great one to have.

This knife rocks!
Well, maybe not in the true sense of the word (although there is a rocking santoku knife in the Pro line and I have that one too) but this has become my go to knife instead of the chef's knife. I find the Japanese style of chopping to be easier and more efficient and when it comes to plain cutting it performs as well as a chef's knife. We previously had two santoku knives but I was under the impression that you coud not sharpen them. It was onu during my research for buying knew knives that I learned the real concept behind the santoku knife and that the could in fact be sharpened. Let me tell you, a sharp santoku knife cannot be beat.

What a hefty workhorse!
This is a beautiful knife to begin with. It’s got some great weight, but is perfectly balanced. Its sharp edge works through everything I’ve put in front of it. It will cut through everything like it’s butter. Highly recommend this product.

One Favorite Knife!
This Pro 5.5" Santoku a perfect length for someone who's looking for not so small or not so big on their hand, at the same time you'll have perfect control for the knife.
Comfortable and balanced size, will quickly become the go-to knife for everyday tasks. It's the most easiest to sharpen, it has a unique blade shape and ergonomic bolster. Whether chopping, slicing, or dicing, the broad blade are comfortable in the hand. This can is a vegetable knife, large fruit knife, and a meat knife as well.

Great knife for every day
I love the feel of this knife - I’m 5’3” and this size is perfect for smaller hands. The grip is solid and comfortable. The weight is spot on - not too flimsy or too heavy. I chop a lot of vegetables and prefer the Santoku over the traditional chef’s knife. I highly recommend overall.

Finally a knife I really enjoy working with! This 5.5" Santuko has replaced my 8" chef's knife almost entirely. Love the shorter blade, lighter weight, and sharper angle. The hollow edges are great for reducing air pockets which is why my foods no longer stick on to the blade.
The Zwilling special formula steel, doesn't rust, holds an edge and is easy to re sharpen. Also dishwasher safe which is a bonus in my home. No longer dread working in the kitchen.

Good knife for smaller hands, and smaller jobs
This Pro 5-inch is a good example of great chopping knife. It is made with one of Zwilling’s best quality steels so it will keep its edge as well as stand up to a lifetime of use. The innovative angled bolster is easy to grip, keeping the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control. And it has the hollow grooves that reduce friction and cuts down on the food riding up the blade and getting in the way. As much as I like this knife, I prefer longer knives, otherwise it would have gotten 5 stars.

Chopping just got very fun
I'm one of those people who always used my chef's knife for all my cutting and chopping but when I got this Santoku I realized how much easier veggie chopping is when you use the perfect tool! The hollow air pockets along the edge help to prevent food from sticking to the knife as you slice...no more stopping to slide veggies off the side of my blade! The Pro series has the most comfortable pinch grip because of the curved bolster and just like my Pro chef's knife this has the perfect weight in my hand.
