  • Zwilling Four Star 7-inch Granton Santoku (1001636)

    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.  
    Who This Is For: Home cooks who prefer a more controlled alternative to a chef’s knife Users who do a lot of vegetable prep and fine slicing Cooks working with smaller cutting boards or limited space Not ideal for: Heavy-duty chopping or splitting tasks Users who rely heavily on rocking cutting motions Learn More
  • Zwilling Four Star 10-inch Granton Edge Slicer (1001594)

    The Zwilling Four Star 10 inch Slicer has a Granton or Hollow edge that helps food release freely from the blade, ensuring smooth and easy slicing.  This is the perfect tool for slicing roasts on a buffet line or for processing large amounts of beef. Zwilling does an excellent job hollowing out the edge on their four star line, the dimples are deep and wide enough to really keep the meat from clinging to the blade. The steel used in this knife is from Germany and responds very well to regular honing. This is a comfortable, functional knife that is well designed and constructed with an attention to detail.
