The Victorinox Swiss Classic 2-Piece Santoku Starter Set is a professional-grade kitchen cutlery duo engineered to handle the vast majority of your daily meal preparation tasks. Expertly manufactured in Switzerland and packaged in a protective retail blister pack, this set pairs a highly dexterous small paring knife with a Japanese-style workstation powerhouse. This deliberate combination provides an exceptionally versatile foundation for any culinary setup, offering the perfect balance between large-scale board chopping and delicate, hand-held detail work.
Both blades are stamped from Victorinox’s legendary high-carbon stainless steel, delivering a lightweight, non-forged construction that maximizes maneuverability while maintaining excellent edge retention. The primary tool in this kit is the 7-inch Santoku Knife, which functions as the main kitchen workhorse. It features a specialized fluted Granton edge with hollow-ground dimples along the blade face. These indentations create small air pockets that break vacuum suction during use, preventing thin slices of meat, starches, or sticky vegetables from clinging to the steel for faster, cleaner prep lines.
The companion tool is the 3.25-inch Paring Knife, an ultra-sharp, agile blade designed for precise, off-board tasks. Its nimble geometry makes it ideal for peeling fruits, coring vegetables, trimming silver skin, and deseeding peppers with absolute control. Both knives feature black Swiss Classic handles molded from a high-performance blend of polypropylene and thermoplastic elastomers. Outfitted with a signature textured, slip-resistant finish, these handles ensure a safe, comfortable grip even when hands are wet or greasy.
