Zwilling Gourmet Santoku Knife – 18cm

ZWILLING Gourmet is the go-to knife for home Chef’s eager for their everyday knife to be exceptional. The single-piece, precision-stamped blade construction is lighter than forged knives, allowing for maximum manoeuvrability.

Proudly crafted in Germany, the knives are made of special-formula steel that has been perfected for over 285 years. Combined with ZWILLING’s signature ice-hardening technique, the blades are harder, sharper, they will not stain or chip and they retain their sharpness longer.

The ergonomic, triple-riveted handle ensures fatigue-free cutting. Experience the comfort, durability, and sharpness of ZWILLING Gourmet. The Santoku Knife is a Japanese style chef’s knife that is perfect for most kitchen tasks. The blade shape lends itself particularly well to chopping and slicing. The Granton edge helps prevent food from sticking to the blade.
