Description

ZWILLING Pro RCF is our latest advancement in sustainable knifemaking. This special edition collection is crafted with more than 90% recycled special formula steel. Consciously crafted with a 50% reduction of the CO2 footprint during the production of the steel, the Pro RCF collection moves one step closer to bringing lasting positive change to our environment and future generations.

This all-purpose Asian-style knife is perfect for smaller kitchen tasks. The relative straight edge from heel to tip supports the “push cut”, one of the most common cutting techniques in Japanese cooking. The small-scale santoku is ideal for everything from dicing vegetables and finely chopping herbs, to slicing thin cuts of meat and fish.

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.

  • Special-formula steel made with a minimum of 90% recycled materials for a reduced carbon footprint  
  • Made with a 50% reduction of the CO2 footprint during the production of the steel  
  • 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  
  • Knives made in Germany

ZWILLING Pro RCF 14-cm_5.50-inch 5.5-inch Rocking Santoku Knife, Fine Edge no-color is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 353.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from ROCKING SATOKU REALLY ROCKS!!! My husband and I were seriously overdue for some quality “adult” knives for our home. You know, the purchase you plan for as an investment - not the quick fix thing you know won’t last. I am no chef by any means but I love to cook and my family loves to enjoy food. The set of knives we purchased are amazing, yes they’re sharp, but that’s obvious since they’re new. These knives, we got the Pro series, feel amazing when you’re working with them it’s almost effortless, we are thrilled that we no longer have to “fight to cook”. The Asian knives were a great addition to the western knives and I’m excited to try so many new recipes and techniques. Highly recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is a very good knife. I've been using this knife for several months now and like it very much. I have several Japanese high quality knives and this knife (somewhat surprisingly, perhaps) shares a number of features with those knives. The steel is not quite as hard, but the edge geometry allows a very sharp edge to be formed and maintained. with nothing more than a few stokes on a hard, black ceramic honing rod. Also, the knife fits nicely in the hand and has a very good bolster design. I am pleased (and a little surprised) that Zwilling has put this excellent knife together for such a reasonable price. Well Done!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Tool in my Kitchen I recently purchased the 7inch Rocking Santoku Knife after seeing a demo with it at a Zwilling Special Event at my local Costco store. This knife will be replacing an old Pampered Chef 7inch Santoku knife that is dull even after sharpening it multiple times. If you see Zwilling Brand Knifes at Costco, they're MUST BUY items! $69.99 at Costco before Tax! Pros: -Comfortable Handle -Curved bolster of knife blade and rocking motion has been less fatiguing on my hand with prep work. -Razor sharp blade was perfect for chopping up raw beef stew meat Cons: -I wish this would have come with a knife sheath.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Gift Idea I purchased the Santoku Knife as a gift for my son. He’s very handy in the kitchen and appreciates quality tools. The knife came very well packaged in a sturdy box that is very presentable. Use your choice of wrapping paper to make it a special occasion gift. I know my son will enjoy this new ‘tool’ in the kitchen for years to come.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Unusual Logo I have many Zwilling Henckel knives and bought this 7" Rocking fine edge santoku at Costco. I haven't tried it yet, but I notice that the imprinted LOGO is completely different from the standard Zwilling logo. There is no (R) next to the Zwilling name on this Costco knife as it is on all other real Henkel knives. The whole arrangement of the imprint on the blade is different and of concern to me. I hope someone from Henkel Zwilling can comment on this difference. I hope my Costco knife is a real Henkel Zwilling knife

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just buy it! If you’re debating whether or not to get this knife, stop debating and buy it. It’s brilliant. Weighty yet perfectly balanced, powerful yet precise, all owing to its unique hybrid profile, which takes getting used to but is very well thought-out. Despite the name, it’s really not a santoku, but rather an ingenious cross between a santoku and a traditional German style chef’s knife (bit closer to the latter, honestly) that can handle a wide array of tasks while holding an edge remarkably well. It’s a workhorse. It’s a beast. And it’s probably your new favorite knife. Go for it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Size Knife! The 5.5in rocking santoku is my favorite knife! It is the perfect size for me for all uses, but especially prep.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful craftsmanship and extremely sharp I did a lot of research before I took the plunge and splurged on a knife of this caliber. It’s beautifully crafted and nicely weighted. It feels solid in my hand and the blade is so sharp. I went with both the 7” Rocking Santoku and the 7” Chef’s Knife from the Zwilling Pro series due to the versatility I would get from their size. I’m so glad that I finally invested in a great knives that will stand the test of time. I plan on adding more from this collection to my kitchen.

I’ve searched for a 2nd Zwilling pro 41/2 inch Pro 38405-120 knife for years.  My hands are small, and this knife is so perfect.  This appears to be the same knife, but a larger size.  Can you please help me find the smaller knife?  

Asked by: Nita B
Sorry check back with us. We have a children’s chef’s knife by Zwilling #1009473 or check our 5.5" Prep Knives that are not too large.

With the Zwilling 4 stage pull through sharpener, should this be sharpened on Standard or Asian setting?

Asked by: markus
You would use the Asian slots for Santoku knives.

I see there are two 7" santoku knives. One is listed with a hollow grind and the other a fine edge. I was curious about the differences between the two.

Asked by: greco
As long as they are from the same style, the knives will be materially identical, and you can expect the same sharpness, edge retention, and performance. However, knives with hollow edges will help prevent food getting stuck to the blade during chopping. This feature is ideal if you're prepping lots of fresh vegetables or more delicate proteins, like fish.
