A faster, more controlled alternative to a chef’s knife for chopping, slicing, and dicing - especially when precision matters. The Zwilling Four Star 7" Granton Santoku is a versatile, all-purpose kitchen knife designed for efficient prep across vegetables, proteins, and herbs. Named for the “three virtues” of slicing, dicing, and mincing, it’s built to handle the majority of everyday cutting tasks with speed and precision. This is not just a smaller chef’s knife - it’s a different cutting style. Instead of a pronounced curve for rocking, the santoku features a flatter edge profile that excels at push-cutting. This allows more of the blade to stay in contact with the board, making it especially effective for fast, controlled vegetable prep and precise slicing. The shorter 7" length and balanced profile make it easy to handle, particularly on smaller cutting boards or in tighter workspaces where a full-size chef’s knife can feel oversized. The Granton (hollow edge) design features alternating indentations along the blade that reduce friction and help food release cleanly. This is especially useful when working with starchy vegetables like potatoes or moist ingredients that tend to stick to the blade. The taller blade profile provides ample knuckle clearance for board work and gives you a wide surface for transferring chopped ingredients directly from board to pan. Forged in Solingen, Germany using the SIGMAFORGE® process, the blade is crafted from a single piece of Zwilling’s proprietary 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) stainless steel. The FRIODUR® ice-hardening process (57 HRC) improves edge retention and durability, allowing the knife to maintain sharpness through repeated use. The full bolster provides balance and acts as a finger guard, while the seamless Four Star handle is molded directly to the tang for comfort and hygiene. The result is a knife that feels stable, responsive, and easy to control during extended prep sessions.

The Best of Both Worlds, Perfected: The Zwilling Pro 7" HE Rocking Santoku Experience the ultimate fusion of Eastern design and Western ergonomics. The Zwilling Pro Rocking Santoku is a masterfully engineered hybrid, designed for the cook who loves the broad-bladed versatility of a Japanese Santoku but craves the familiar, rhythmic motion of a German chef's knife. It embodies the "three virtues" (slicing, dicing, and mincing) of a Santoku, enhanced with a curved blade that allows for effortless rocking and chopping. This knife’s innovative design is complemented by its advanced features. The blade is distinguished by its hollow edge (HE)—a series of vertical indentations, also known as a Granton edge, that create small air pockets between the blade and the food. This dramatically reduces friction and prevents starchy vegetables like potatoes and cucumbers from sticking, allowing for swift, clean, and uninterrupted prep work. This non-stick performance is built on the core of Zwilling's technology: a single piece of SIGMAFORGE steel, ice-hardened with the FRIODUR process for a relentless edge, and anchored by the revolutionary tapered bolster for unparalleled comfort and control.

The Wusthof Classic Ikon 7 inch Hollow or Granton Edge Santoku is designed for chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing vegetables, fruits. Unlike a chef's knife much of the santoku's edge makes contact with a cutting board in each cut, which speeds up prep work and makes a chopping motion much more effective. The granton dimples that run along the face of this blade keep food from clinging to the side of the knife after they are cut. If you've never tried a santoku we highly recommend that you consider this shape, it just may become your new favorite knife. Learn More
