Zwilling Four Star 7″ Hollow Edge Rocking Santoku German High-Carbon Stainless Black Polypropylene
The ZWILLING Four Star 7-Inch Hollow Edge Rocking Santoku merges the best of Japanese and Western cutting styles for ultimate versatility. With its rocking profile, it excels at slicing, dicing, and mincing using a smooth curved motion. The rocking santoku design—meaning “three virtues”—is built to mince garlic, slice cucumbers, and dice onions with precision. The hollow (granton) edge includes small indentations to reduce drag and prevent food from sticking, ensuring cleaner, more efficient cuts.
Forged from a single piece of proprietary high-carbon stainless steel, this SIGMAFORGE® construction ensures robust balance, flexibility, and integrity. The blade is ice-hardened using ZWILLING’s FRIODUR® process, which enhances hardness, sharpness retention, and resistance to staining and chipping. Every edge is precision-honed and laser-controlled for consistently ideal cutting angles. With a 57 Rockwell hardness rating, this blade delivers excellent edge durability over time.
The handle is made of ergonomic polypropylene with a seamless transition into the bolster, creating a comfortable grip with no gaps or weak points. This thoughtful construction enhances handling during long prep sessions. Dishwasher safe (though hand-wash is recommended), the knife is made in Germany to rigorous standards of quality and performance.
