The Henckels Solution 7 Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is perfect for everyday kitchen tasks. Honed for long-lasting sharpness, the fine-edge blade boasts precision cutting. Santoku - Japanese for three virtues - excels at three cutting techniques: expertly mince garlic, slice cucumber, and dice onions with this Asian all-rounder, whose hollow edge blade has small indentations, aka grantons, which prevent food from sticking while cutting. The single-piece, precision-stamped blade is light and thin for excellent maneuverability without compromising strength or durability. This is due to its high carbon stainless steel composition, which provides power from within. Curved for comfort, the break-proof, triple-rivet handle is pleasant to grip for tireless, balanced cutting.
