Victorinox Swiss Classic Santoku Knife

The fluted edge, or granton edge, features small indentations along the blade that create tiny air pockets. This design significantly reduces friction and prevents starchy or wet foods, like potatoes or cucumbers, from sticking to the knife while you slice.

While this Santoku is excellent for dicing, chopping, and slicing vegetables and boneless proteins, it is not designed for heavy-duty tasks like cutting through bone or frozen foods. For those jobs, you would be better served by a heavier chef's knife or a dedicated cleaver.

The TPE handle is designed specifically for grip and comfort. It provides a non-slip surface that remains secure and easy to control, even when your hands are wet or greasy during food preparation.

While the knife is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it with mild detergent and drying it immediately. High-heat dishwasher cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blade edge over time and degrade the handle material faster than gentle hand washing.

At only 3.8 ounces, this knife is exceptionally lightweight. This makes it very nimble and easy to maneuver for repetitive tasks like mincing herbs or chopping large batches of vegetables without causing hand fatigue.
