The Henckels Spectrum Santoku Knife brings a perfect balance of precision, style, and versatility to your kitchen. Designed by Zwilling J.A. Henckels to meet the demands of both professional chefs and home cooks, this knife blends modern craftsmanship with traditional Japanese design. With its distinctive blade and thoughtful ergonomics, it’s the tool you’ll turn to for slicing, dicing, and mincing with confidence and ease.
The 7-inch stainless steel santoku blade features a Granton edge, with shallow scallops along each side to reduce drag and prevent food from sticking. This design allows for cleaner cuts and a smoother flow when working through a variety of ingredients. From crisp vegetables to delicate proteins, the blade glides effortlessly, helping you maintain speed and accuracy in your prep work. Its wide profile is ideal for scooping up chopped ingredients, and the slightly curved edge accommodates a natural rocking motion for those who prefer it. At just .04 inches thick, the blade delivers precision without feeling heavy, making it an essential tool for every kitchen task.
Full tang construction adds strength and balance, ensuring the knife feels stable and responsive in hand. At 12.64 inches overall and weighing 8.8 ounces, it has the substance needed for heavier cuts while maintaining the agility you want for detailed work. Every feature of this knife is designed to enhance your control, so each slice feels seamless.
The handle is crafted from elegant black Micarta, a material prized for its durability and comfortable texture. Micarta’s subtle grip provides security even when your hands are wet, making it ideal for fast-paced kitchen environments. Its ergonomic shape fits naturally into your palm, supporting a firm, fatigue-free hold during extended prep sessions. The sleek, understated design of the handle complements the blade’s polished finish, giving the Spectrum Santoku Knife a timeless appeal.
