Zwilling Kanren Rocking Santoku Knife, 7"

Summary

Named for the Japanese word for "connection," the Zwilling Kanren collection celebrates the bond formed while cooking and eating together. Uniting German engineering and Japanese craftsmanship, each 48-layer Damascus-style blade is forged from high-performance carbide stainless steel and hand honed using the three-step Honbazuke process. This santoku is sharpened to a scalpel-like edge for both precision slicing and traditional push-and-pull cuts. Its long, curved blade is designed especially for rocking cuts, from chopping herbs and mincing onions to dicing shallots and other vegetables. The triple-riveted Micarta handle and signature curved bolster promote a secure, comfortable grip and fatigue-free use.
