The Victorinox 7-inch Dual Grip Santoku Knife is a professional-grade commercial culinary tool engineered to deliver maximum efficiency, precision chopping, and ergonomic safety in high-volume food service environments. While traditional French chef knives feature a pronounced belly optimized for a rocking motion, this specialized Santoku utilizes a flatter edge profile and a distinctive sheep's foot tip. This layout optimizes the blade for clean, swift, vertical push-cuts and up-and-down mincing, making it an indispensable all-rounder for commercial kitchen stations where speed and accuracy are non-negotiable.
Crafted from Victorinox’s signature high-carbon stamped stainless steel (X55CrMo14) and subjected to proprietary tempering methods, the blade features a hand-finished 15-degree cutting edge that balances exceptional retention with rapid edge restoration. The blade face is engineered with a specialized fluted Granton edge, featuring shallow, alternating scallops. These indentations create tiny air pockets between the food and the steel during use, breaking vacuum suction to prevent soft, wet, or starchy items—like cucumbers, potatoes, and raw proteins—from clinging to the metal during rapid prep work.
The utility of this Japanese-inspired tool is defined by the unique, two-tone black and red Dual Grip handle. Crafted from high-performance thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), the handle features a specific dual-material texturing designed to minimize wrist strain and provide an ultra-secure, slip-resistant grip even when coated in water, animal fats, or oils. Fully NSF-certified to meet strict public health and safety standards, the injection-molded handle eliminates food crevices for optimal sanitation. At a balanced 4.2 ounces, this Swiss-made knife turns heavy-duty commercial prep into a series of fast, effortless movements.
