Zwilling Four Star 7-inch Hollow Edge Rocking Santoku

Zwilling Four Star 7-inch Hollow Edge Rocking Santoku

This santoku rocks. Instead of the dead-flat edge of a traditional santoku, the Zwilling Four Star 7-inch rocking santoku curves gently toward the tip, so cooks used to a Western chef’s knife can mince herbs and slice vegetables with their usual motion and still have a tall, compact blade.

It has a clip point for precise tip work, and dimples cut just above the bevel keep food from sticking. Lightweight and easy to control, it is a good alternative to a full-size chef’s knife for daily meal prep and a good choice for cooks working the line. The handle is comfortable, easy to sanitize and does not slip.

To mince herbs, keep the tip on the board and rock the heel up and down while sweeping across the pile; the clip point keeps the tip fine for scoring and trimming.

For a flat edge and push cuts, see the Four Star 7-inch santoku. Our guide to knife shapes compares both santoku styles.

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.
