Santoku is Japanese for “three virtues” and this knife excels in three cutting techniques: mincing, slicing, and dicing. You’ll want to use it for detailed kitchen tasks such as mincing garlic, slicing vegetables, and dicing onions, for example. This Asian style knife with hollow edge construction has small indentations to prevent food from sticking to the knife while cutting. The Slim design features a medium sized handle, 9% smaller blade profile, and is 24% lighter than the original, making it perfect for smaller hands. The lighter weight increases nimbleness, ergonomics, and comfort. Zwilling Pro is the most user-friendly knife line on the market. A unique curved bolster acts as an extension of your hand, supporting the professional pinch grip (thumb and index finger on the blade), for safe cutting and less fatigue.
