The steel used consists of a special alloy that is extremely hard yet still flexible. The ice-hardened finishing on the FRIODUR® blade further improves the properties of the knife. The material can be ground extremely precisely so that Santoku knives always have an extremely sharp cutting edge: perfect for cutting through meat and vegetables. The continuous steel from the tip to the handle also guarantees its outstanding service life. Surprise your guests with new flavours from around the world using the Santoku knife from ZWILLING to effortlessly prepare exciting Far Eastern dishes.
