Forty years ago, Zwilling J. A. Henckels revolutionized the standards for top-quality knives with the introduction of the seamless synthetic handle. This hollow-edge santoku knife lends itself to both the Western circular motion of cutting and the Asian chopping method. Featuring a broad blade and especially sharp cutting edge, the santoku knife sits comfortably in the hand with plenty of knuckle room to prepare meat, fish and vegetables. Forged from a single piece of steel the knife is hand sharpened and polished, and perfectly sized and weighted for all kinds of cutting tasks.
