Zwilling Pro 7-inch Hollow Edge Santoku

A santoku has a flatter edge than a Western chef’s knife, built for chopping straight down and pushing forward through vegetables rather than rocking on the tip. The Zwilling Pro 7-inch hollow edge santoku adds a row of scallops above the edge that create air pockets, so slices of potato and cucumber fall away instead of clinging.

More of the edge meets the board on each stroke, which gives clean, complete cuts through stacked vegetables. The tall blade clears the knuckles and doubles as a scoop for carrying prep to the pan, and the Pro curved bolster keeps the pinch grip natural.

For thin, even slices of cucumber or potato, push the knife forward and down in one motion, finishing with the heel on the board. The scallops work best when the blade travels through the food rather than pressing straight down.

For a curved edge that rocks, see the Pro 7-inch hollow edge rocking santoku; for a compact version, the Pro 5.5-inch santoku. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide compares the santoku and the chef’s knife.

Choosing a Zwilling Line

All three lines are forged in Germany from the same special formula steel and ice-hardened by Zwilling’s FRIODUR process.

Line	Bolster and edge	Handle	Who it suits
Zwilling Pro	Curved half bolster; sharpenable from heel to tip	Triple-riveted black polymer	Cooks who use a pinch grip and want the full edge available for cutting and sharpening
Zwilling Four Star	Pronounced bolster that guards the fingers	Molded polypropylene with no rivets or gaps	Kitchens that value a hygienic, gap-free handle and a traditional finger guard
Zwilling Spectrum	Curved bolster; 12.5-degree edge per side	Jute Micarta with a steel end cap	Cooks who want the most acute factory edge of the three lines

Keeping the Edge

German stainless at this hardness responds well to honing. A few light strokes on a honing steel before each use keep the edge aligned; sharpen on whetstones or a guided sharpener when honing no longer restores it.

Care

Zwilling rates the knife dishwasher safe but recommends hand washing; wash with warm, soapy water and dry at once.
Cut on wood or soft composite boards rather than glass, stone or ceramic.
Store in a block, on a magnetic strip or in an edge guard, not loose in a drawer.
