Zwilling Pro 7-Inch Slim Hollow Edge Santoku Knife
Zwilling
Zwilling Pro 7-Inch Slim Hollow Edge Santoku Knife
Italian-designed and German-engineered, the sleek Zwilling Pro 7-Inch Slim Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is a unique blend of versatility and durability. A broad curve at the blade front allows for rocking cuts of Western-style cutting. Asian-style cutting gets a nod with the straight back. Reach for the Zwilling pro santoku knife whether you’re slicing tuna for sushi, chopping eggplant, squash and zucchini for a rustic ratatouille or preparing a platter of fresh fruit.   An ice-hardened FRIODUR blade has indentations along the edge. This prevents food, herbs and spices from sticking to the blade. Chop, slice and mince fruit, fish and damp vegetables with ease and precision. The laser-controlled edge on this santoku knife provides an ideal cutting angle for any kitchen task.   The curved bolster on the hollow edge santoku knife safely allows a professional pinch grip for precise cutting, while the full tang and triple-rivet ABS handle offer stability and strength for years of cutting action.   Dimensions: Blade Length: 7.09” Care & Use: Dishwasher safe, hand washing recommended Materials: German stainless steel
