7 Inch Santoku Knife

Twin Signature knives are precision stamped from a single piece of German steel, resulting in lighter weight knives that do not compromise sharpness. The knives are made of proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for over 280 years. Combined with Zwilling's signature ice-hardening technique, these Friodur blades are harder, sharper, they will not stain or chip and they retain their sharpness longer. To ensure an ideal cutting angle, the laser-controlled edge is incredibly sharp and is honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans. The three-rivet handle embedded with the Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo provides optimum durability.

My wife liked a smaller santoku from our crummy knife block because it fit well in her hand and was more comfortable to use than my chefs knives but it was duller than Trump supporters. I decided to purchase this when it was on sale for a gift since Shun has a good reputation with their knives. It came plenty sharp and looks really nice on our magnetic knife strip with some other Japanese steel from my collection. My only gripe is that it doesn't hold its edge as long as I'd hoped it would. Fortunately, it was quick to sharpen on the wet stone and wasn't too difficult to get it back to gliding through produce.. Mark T.. Sun Dec 24 2023
