The Zwilling Pro 5.5" Hollow Edge Rocking Santoku blends the best of Japanese and Western knife design into a compact kitchen workhorse built for speed, precision, and all-day comfort. Whether you're slicing vegetables, mincing herbs, or preparing meats, this versatile Santoku delivers exceptional control with every cut.
Backed by more than 280 years of German blade-making expertise, the Zwilling Pro series was engineered around the way cooks actually use their knives. Its distinctive curved bolster naturally supports a professional pinch grip, placing your thumb and index finger on the blade for greater control while reducing hand fatigue during extended food prep. The redesigned blade profile features a broader forward curve for smooth rocking cuts, while the straighter rear section excels at the clean up-and-down chopping style favored in Asian cuisine.
The 5.5" SIGMAFORGE blade is precision forged from a single piece of Zwilling's proprietary Special Formula high-carbon, no-stain stainless steel for outstanding strength, balance, and edge retention. The ice-hardened FRIODUR blade offers remarkable durability and resilience while maintaining a razor-sharp edge longer. Hollow edge indentations help reduce friction and keep thin slices from sticking to the blade, making repetitive slicing faster and more efficient. A full tang construction and triple-riveted black POM handle provide exceptional stability, durability, and a secure grip. While dishwasher safe, handwashing is recommended to preserve its performance and finish for years of dependable service.
