Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro 7-Inch Santoku Knife Hollow Edge Knife

Added this to my Pro Knife Block Set because I'm cooking a lot of stir fry meals. This German made knife cuts so easily and very comfortable to use. Has a lifetime warranty but doubt if I'll ever have to replace it.

This Santoku with its curved bolster feels perfect in my hand. I didn't realize I was holding the knife incorrectly (I held it like a hammer...wrong) until I grabbed this with a pinch grip on that curved bolster. Because it's forged, it is a heavier knife, which I prefer. I feel like the knife does the work for me. The blade is incredibly razor sharp, even sharper than my chef knife. This is my go-to knife for chopping veggies. It makes cutting an onion super easy and no tears. I think it's because I'm cutting cleanly not tearing it. If you just want one knife in your kitchen, this would be a great one to have.

Santoku blades are rapidly becoming a favorite. As we our diets become more and more plant based especially. This is a knife that will make short work of any fruit or vegetable that it comes in contact with. The wide blade makes for stable cutting no matter what you are working on. Zucchini length-wise? No problem. Large tomato or onion crosswise? No problem. Butternut squash? No problem. A santoku blade is the one I use for vegetables, almost daily. This Pro 7-inch is a perfect example of great santoku. It is made with one of Zwilling's best quality steels so it will its edge as well as stand up to a lifetime of use. The innovative angled bolster is easy to grip, keeping the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control. And it has the hollow grooves that reduce friction and cuts down on the food riding up the blade and getting in the way.

What a great knife to cut veggies with. This Santoku is well balanced, feels great in the hand and keeps it's edge for a long time. The curved bolster reminds you to use the pinch grip and doesn't cause you to have any wrist fatigue during those large cutting jobs.

This is a perfect length for someone who's looking for not so small or not so big on their hand, at the same time you'll have perfect control for it's pinch grip knife. Comfortable and balanced size, will quickly become the go-to knife for everyday tasks. It's the most easiest to sharpen, it has a unique blade shape and ergonomic bolster. Whether chopping, slicing, or dicing, the broad blade are comfortable in the hand.

Awesome knife, I'm so happy I got it as a gift. Vegetables just pop right off the blade thanks to that hollow edge.

This is the perfect knife size and shape for my daughter to use!! She loves to practice with this knife. I like it because the handle is super comfortable and I can mince at the back edge of the knife. You can also hone the blade straight through to the end of blade. Great knife for a lot of prep work.

This Pro knife has the famous curved bolster (middle of the knife) and helps you use a perfect pinch grip. I like the weight of this knife and it can get through the toughest of vegetables as well as mince herbs finely. German knife but Asian angle on this one - best of both worlds.

This chef knife with the granton edge has been my go to for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables. The edge creates air pocket to allow whatever I'm chopping to instead of getting stuck to my blade, to just pop off. A great piece of art and would highly recommend adding to your kitchen!

The straight edge of this santoku makes it ideal for chopping. As with the other Pro knives it has a curved bolster making for a smooth transition from handle to blade. Great balance, comfort, and excellent sharpness for precision chopping.
