The Victorinox 7” Grand Maître Santoku Knife with a Granton edge and sleek black POM handle is an elegant balance of form, function, and fine Swiss craftsmanship. Designed for versatility and control, this blade is built to perform across a wide range of kitchen tasks—whether you’re slicing vegetables paper-thin, prepping proteins, or dicing herbs with precision. Made in Switzerland by Victorinox, Makers of the Original Swiss Army Knife, this Santoku is a tool that brings professional-level performance into every kitchen.
At the heart of this kitchen workhorse is a 7” blade forged from Victorinox’s proprietary stainless steel. This premium steel is prized for its excellent edge retention, sharpness, and corrosion resistance—qualities that every serious cook counts on. The Santoku profile offers a slightly shorter and thinner blade than a traditional Western chef’s knife, making it incredibly agile and easy to handle, especially when space is tight or precision is key. The edge is gently curved, allowing for a smooth slicing motion, while the flat blade tip improves control for straight-down chopping.
One of the most valuable features of this knife is the Granton edge. These small, shallow dimples along both sides of the blade create air pockets during slicing, which help reduce drag and minimize food sticking. This feature is a game-changer when you're working with sticky or moist ingredients like cucumbers, potatoes, cheeses, or raw fish. It also makes cleanup easier and prep work quicker—two things every home cook and professional can appreciate.
The forged design ensures exceptional strength and stability throughout the knife. Its hidden tang construction offers seamless integration between blade and handle for a smooth, well-balanced feel. At 12.2” overall and weighing only 3.5 ounces, it’s surprisingly light for a forged knife, offering excellent control without fatigue. The balance point sits perfectly in the hand, giving you the kind of responsive handling that makes everyday prep feel more like art than effort.
The black POM handle adds a modern, understated look while delivering practical durability. This high-performance synthetic material is heat-resistant, impact-resistant, and shaped to provide a natural, ergonomic grip. It feels smooth and secure in the hand, whether you're working with dry produce or prepping a full spread of meats and vegetables. The contoured shape ensures comfort during extended use and helps reduce hand strain—ideal for anyone who spends serious time at the cutting board.
Victorinox has built a global reputation for reliability, precision, and innovation, and the Grand Maître line reflects that pedigree with every slice. From the kitchen of a high-end restaurant to your home prep station, this knife brings together craftsmanship and cutting-edge design in one elegant tool.
