Description

The Pro Slim 7-inch santoku knife is perfect for detailed kitchen tasks. 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 which prevent food from sticking while cutting. 

Pro Slim knives feature a medium-sized handle, a blade profile that is 9% smaller, and a weight that is 24% lighter than our original Pro knives. They are perfect for smaller hands. And the lighter weight provides increased nimbleness, ergonomics, and comfort.

ZWILLING Pro boasts a unique curved bolster that acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was designed with a broad curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the chopping motion Japanese knives were designed for. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip. 

  • Curved bolster acts as an extension of the hand, encouraging cutting with improved precision, safety, and comfort  
  • SIGMAFORGE knife is forged from a single piece of special formula high-carbon stainless steel  
  • Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade starts sharper, stays sharper longer  
  • Precision-honed blade and laser-controlled edge ensures ideal cutting angle for sharpness and durability  
  • Full tang and handle are triple riveted for superb stability and comfort  
  • Dishwasher safe, hand wash recommended  
  • Made in Germany

ZWILLING Pro 7-inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 38.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from A huge upgrade from my Henckels Classic I have a set of forged Henckels for 20+ years. My 5" Santoku recently chipped after years of abuse. I decided to upgrade to Zwilling Pro and picked up this 7" Santoku. WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE. The cutting, balance, and craftsmanship are noticeably improved. I got 20 years out of that Henckels. This Zwilling should have twice the life with the same regular personal use. Invest in knives that will last you a lifetime.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this knife I was looking to upgrade my knifes from 25 years ago. I didn't like the weight or balance of my old Henckels and I was tired of using them. This is such an upgrade! For me the weight is lighter and fits my hand perfectly. It slices effortlessly be it veggies or thin slicing proteins for stir fry. love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply “Amazing” As I prepare wholesome foods for my family daily, this knife is the perfect tool to prep our meals. I have used many high-end chef and santoku knives and this is by far the best.  So many great characteristics.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Knife This is a fantastic knife. I never knew how bad my 15ish year old knife until I used this knife. I've never owned a knife this sharp. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Zwilling-Henckels is Worth Every Penny and More... Without a doubt the professional knives, manufactured by Zwilling-Henckels have proven to me to be one of the worlds best knife products. I have been using my Professional 4 Star knives since 1977, when I graduated college for Hotel Restaurant Management and where I learned how to use such knives to prepare and cook great dishes. When I purchased my first set of Henckels 4 stars, 44 years ago I knew I was investing in something of high quality. It's German engineering, like a fine BMW or Mercedes. AT the time they were probably considered an expensive knife but they were still a great investment. And now 44 years later, I've probably recommended them to everyone I know who loves to cook and now and then I'll purchased one or two as a special gift to family or friends. Yes, I'm a really big fan of these knives and the lifetime warranty makes them, 'Worth Every Penny." I've had to returned one of those 4 stars (44 years old) one 5 Star Santoko which I've had over 10 years. It took a little while to get the replacement for the Santoko but, the service representative was excellent, friendly, concerned and attentive with a follow up call to make sure I got my replacement and that I was happy with it. Who does that on a product, purchased 10 years ago?... and to top it off, my 5 Star Santoku was no longer available so the representative offered me an upgrade... Who does that? Bottom line, this company, Zwilling-Henckels has been making great knives for a LOT of years and they have not diminished their integrity and faith in their own products. Not many large companies even care about their customers, much less sell quality products anymore. These knives are likely to outlive me but My daughter would love them and be the proud own of these spectacular, reliable and extremely high quality cooking knives - to remember all the great dishes she enjoyed over the years of me cooking for her. As for my brand new Zwilling-Henckels PRO 7 Inch Slim Hollow Edge Santoko Knife, I have not been able to put it down - It just feels like quality in my hands and does it's job with style and flare. Thank you Z-H for such great products and for standing behind them 100%.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice heft and curve makes prepping easy and fast I have small hands (size 6) but handle was easier to hold and use. Sliced through very cleanly and so easy to make thin slices of vegetables and meet and even bread.

What is the difference between the hollow edge slim Santoku and the non-slim version? I am deciding which one to get. Or is the rocking santoku better? Thanks!
