J.A. Henckels 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, 13548-180 ZWILLING GROUP

Description: Read this and learn something new!! If you’re looking to stock your kitchen with a great knife set, make sure that the set you select has both a santoku and a chef knife. Both will come in handy for prepping any number of kitchen ingredients—and as much as the two knives may look similar, they are actually quite different. By understanding the differences between a santoku and a chef knife, you can make an informed decision regarding when to use each knife. Here's what you need to know. Like a chef knife, the santoku knife is a general-purpose knife that's commonly used in home and professional kitchens for chopping, dicing, mincing, and slicing, especially vegetables. In many ways, a santoku is simply a Japanese version of the chef knife—but the differences don't end there. Santoku knives are typically smaller than a standard chef knife, ranging in size from anywhere from 7" to 5" or smaller. Santoku knives also tend to be made of thinner and harder steel than chef knives, which—when combined with the wide sheepsfoot blade—makes them better suited for precision cutting. Our 7" Santoku Knife also features 30 flutes on its blade to prevent food from sticking, making it the perfect tool for slicing large quantities of vegetables. Santokus are most often used for chopping, dicing, and mincing. Because of their precision edge, they're especially useful for julienning thin slices of vegetables and meats. The wide blade associated with a santoku also makes it useful for "scooping" food off of a cutting board in place of a bench scraper. Henckels is one of the largest and oldest manufacturers of kitchen knives for domestic and professional use, having been founded in June 1731 by Peter Henckels. It is also one of the oldest operating companies in the world.
