The Cangshan Z Series 7" Santoku Knife is a precise blend of modern design and rugged performance, made for chefs who demand both beauty and function in their tools. With its striking profile and ergonomic lines, this knife doesn’t just look good—it performs with relentless consistency across a wide range of tasks. From prep work to heavy-duty slicing, this Santoku is built to handle the grind of a serious kitchen while elevating everyday cooking.

Forged from high-alloy, fine-grained German X50CrMoV15 steel, this knife offers excellent edge retention, outstanding stain resistance, and durability that stands up to constant use. The full tang construction provides the strength needed for long sessions at the cutting board, and the USPTO-patented design ensures each component is made with attention to detail and long-term performance.

The 7-inch blade features oval depressions along the face, creating air pockets that help release food as you cut—eliminating drag and promoting faster, smoother slicing. Whether you’re working through vegetables, slicing meat, or disjointing larger cuts, this knife stays in control. The wide blade also makes it easy to scoop and transfer ingredients with minimal effort.

Each blade undergoes Cangshan’s proprietary ULTRA6 heat treatment process, achieving an ideal balance of hardness and flexibility. With a Rockwell hardness rating of 58 +/- 2, this Santoku knife is sharp, tough, and ready for anything you throw at it. It’s hand-sharpened to a fine edge and balanced with a 5.5-inch handle that sits comfortably and securely in hand, reducing strain and increasing accuracy.

The black handle is as comfortable as it is stylish, shaped to naturally fit the hand and finished with a stunning mosaic rivet that serves as a subtle, high-end detail. At 12 inches overall, this Santoku strikes a balance between power and agility, offering precise control without feeling heavy or bulky.

Awarded for its design excellence, this knife has the backbone for heavy kitchen use and the finesse for fine, delicate work. It’s a true workhorse in a chef’s sleek uniform. Order it today from SMKW!
