Henckels worldwide. Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, this celebrated collection is the model of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. Thanks to their seamless transition from bolster to handle, the knives are comfortable to use for long periods of time. The bolster provides the right balance while acting as a safe finger guard. 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. Precision-forged from a single piece of steel, the SIGMAFORGE knives have an exceptionally sturdy, balanced and flexible blade. desertcart.com The Japanese version of the chefs 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 sauté 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 wont stick to the blade. Part of the Four Star series of cutlery, this santoku has a fully forged high-carbon stainless-steel blade. The blade, bolster, and tang are welded of one piece of metal using Henckelss 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 Henckelss Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens it and protects it from discoloration. The black polypropelene handle offers a secure and comfortable grip and is hygienically attached so there are no gaps between the handle and blade for food to become trapped. This santoku should be hand washed and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde Review: Quality and performance - Really pleased with this knife.

It feels good in my hand and is balanced and sharp. Very good price too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent knife *by J***R on October 18, 2023* this zwilling/henckels 4 star santoku is an excellent addition to the other 11 4 stars i already have. they were purchased in 1982 when we lived in germany. while i am not a super chef by any means, i truly appreciate a well balanced, well treated, knife kept super sharp over all these years and this knife fits that description. i have used in every day since it was delivered. couldn't be happier with this new addition to my family of 4 star knives. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality forged stainless *by P***K on January 21, 2008* I have owned a set of four star Henckels knives for more than a decade and bought this Santoku to complement the set. All of the knives have been used multiple times daily and performed well with basic care including hand washing, hand drying, and approximately monthly dates with a matching sharpening steel. Advantages of the Santoku over my chef's knife are the ability to chop large vegetables while maintaining good control over the wide blade and the hollow ground surface easily releases foods that would otherwise stick to the blade. I still prefer the chef's knife for chopping smaller things, like herbs, where the deeper drop angle to the point allows more rocking motion. This knife has the same high quality as the rest of my set and I anticipate that it, along with the others, will be part of my kitchen for a lifetime. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/3121271-zwilling-four-star-7-inch-hollow-edge-santoku-knife](https://www.desertcart.us/products/3121271-zwilling-four-star-7-inch-hollow-edge-santoku-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
