## Description

Product Description PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PROFESSIONAL "S" are the classic knives for the professional kitchen. 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. Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the knives' laser-controlled edge is incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these threerivet handle knives deliver optimum balance and safe handling. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives. desertcart.COM The Japanese version of the chefâ€™s knife, the santoku is useful for straight chopping, mincing, and slicing of larger quantities of vegetables and meat. Cooks with smaller hands may prefer this 7-inch blade as the shorter length offers better control while cutting. The width also provides a great platform for transporting chopped vegetables from cutting board to sautÃ© pan. This version of the santoku actually has a hollow edge or oval cut-outs along the blade. The benefit to this blade style is that cooks can cut paper-thin slices and individual slices wonâ€™t stick to the blade. Part of the Pro S series of cutlery, this knife has a fully forged high-carbon stainless-steel blade. The blade, bolster, and tang are welded of one piece of metal using Henckelsâ€™s Sinter Metal Component Technology, which distributes the right quantities of metal to each part of the knife. The result is a longer-lasting edge and a more consistent angle on the blade. The blade has also undergone Henckelsâ€™s Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens it and protects it from discoloration. The traditional-style black synthetic handle is secured to the tang with three stainless-steel rivets. This santoku is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde From the Manufacturer The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series features trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling--itâ€™s a line of knives admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The Twin Pro S line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chefâ€™s, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Twin Pro S knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered. A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction Twin Pro S knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Pro S knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckelsâ€™s Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention. An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use J.A.

Review: Great knife - This cost more than I would like to spend on a knife, but I wanted a quality razor sharp knife and I now have one. I even christened it by cutting my finger within the first couple of times I used it. It's deadly. I don't feel like messing around with a food processor so I needed a couple good slicing knives to handle the fresh foods that I prepare. After researching, I decided to stay in the Henckels line. I already had a Santoku and kitchen knife by Henckels but wanted another Santoku after discovering someone had put little knicks in my blade. (none of my boys ever fessed up) I prefer the Santoku over the kitchen knife just because it's my personal preference. I like the feel of it better, although I do like the kitchen knife as the blade is slightely curved which allows me some rocking action when chopping fine things like herbs. So now I have a high quality veggie knife, and the old knicked santoku and kitchen knife which are still sharp which I use for meats and miscellaneous jobs. I love cutting with a sharp knife. It makes me feel good. It's a good buy, and the knife will probably last as long as I do. I also purchased a good sharpener to keep my knives sharp.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this knife made in?**
A: The knife is made in Germany.

**Q: Will the 7" santoku fit in a 2" slot in a knife block? How wide is the blade?**
A: My Zwilling/Henckels Santoku knife blade is 7" long and 1-5/8" wide at the widest part near the handle.  It should fit easily into a 2" slot.

**Q: How does this compare with the 5.5 inch santoku? Anyone have experience with both?**
A: I own both the 7" and the 5.5". The 5.5" is a little small for me and my knuckles hit the cutting board if I am using it to chop. My wife who has smaller hands uses it a lot and is comfortable for her. I find the 7" is a good replacement for a 8" chefs knife if you feel the 8" chefs knife is a little too big for you.

**Q: I bought the 7"  31119-180 knife. Now I have a knotch out of the blade.  Is this knife replaceable?**
A: Please contact our consumer relations department at hello@zwillingus.com They will be able to help you.

*by L***K on July 2, 2018*

This is my husband's and my favorite knife. I love using it for vegetables. He likes using it for meat. I liked it so much that I bought my dad one for Father's Day. He loves it too. We all love the hollow blade, because food sticks to it less. It is also crazy sharp. You can cut really thin slices of vegetables or meat with this knife. I love that it is made in Germany. So many good knives and other precision products come out of that country. I will say that it does take some getting used to that this knife doesn't cut in a rocking motion. We got used to it fast though. I may purchase the shorter one too. Love it, and highly recommend. Worth the investment for sure.
