The Shun Premier 7-inch Santoku is an Asian-inspired all-purpose knife that handles the basic kitchen cutting tasks with ease. It is especially well suited to the push cut, moving the blade down and forward through the food, which produces clean, even slices of vegetables and boneless proteins. Slightly shorter than a standard chef’s knife, it is light and easy to maneuver, yet it keeps enough curve along the belly for a rocking cut when you need one. The wide blade carries cut food to the pan. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish on the Shun Premier blade helps food release as you cut.

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.
