Victorinox 7-inch Granton Blade Santoku Knife Yellow Fibrox Handle 5.2528.17B

The Victorinox 7-inch Santoku Knife with a Yellow Fibrox Handle is a professional-grade culinary tool engineered to integrate Japanese design precision with strict Western food safety compliance. While traditional French chef knives utilize a pronounced curved belly for rocking cuts, this specialized Santoku features a flatter edge profile and a distinctive sheep's foot tip optimized for clean, vertical push-chopping. This layout is perfect for high-volume kitchen stations where breaking down proteins requires rapid, repetitive movements without causing user hand fatigue or compromising kitchen safety standards.

Crafted from Victorinox’s signature high-carbon martensitic stainless steel, the 7-inch stamped blade features a specialized fluted Granton edge. These hollow-ground oval indentations along the blade face create tiny air pockets between the steel and your ingredients, breaking vacuum suction during use. This design prevents wet, dense, or slippery animal proteins from clinging to the metal, allowing for fluid, uninterrupted slicing and faster line preparation. With a 1.5-inch width at the handle, the blade provides excellent stability and ample knuckle clearance above the cutting board.

The core operational advantage of this model is its yellow Fibrox handle, specifically color-coded to comply with global Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations. In busy commercial kitchens, this vibrant yellow handle serves as an immediate visual cue to isolate the tool strictly for raw poultry preparation—such as chicken, turkey, and duck—effectively isolating specific bacteria like Salmonella and preventing dangerous cross-contamination. Molded from textured Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), the ergonomic handle provides a locked-in, slip-resistant grip even when hands are slick from moisture. Fully NSF-certified and built to withstand strict commercial sanitizing environments, this Swiss-made tool turns precision food safety into an effortless daily routine.
