The Santoku knife from the Professional S series is characterised by its particularly high quality. Originally it comes from Japan, but it is a relatively new invention. The Japanese knife manufacturers developed it when meat became more and more popular with the Asian people. The traditional Japanese knives were mainly used for cutting fish and vegetables. The Santoku knife, however, is even more versatile. It combines the good cutting properties for the above ingredients, but it is also easy to cut meat. This is therefore the Japanese form of the all-purpose knife. The characteristic feature of this knife is that the upper edge of the blade is in line with the handle. Since the handle is also quite thin, the fingers have plenty of room to grip. The steel used consists of a special alloy that is extremely hard but flexible. Refining the Friodur blade by ice hardening further improves the properties of the knife. The material can be sharpened particularly precisely, so that the blade is extremely sharp. A clean cut is thus achieved effortlessly. The continuous steel from the tip to the handle also ensures a long service life. With the Santoku knife from Zwilling you can prepare exciting Far Eastern dishes without much effort and surprise your guests with completely new flavours.
