Santoku Knife - Stainless Steel - Black - 170mm - Air Cut

Victorinox Santoku knife with air pockets for precise cutting

This 17 cm Victorinox Swiss Classic Santoku knife combines Japanese knife design with Swiss precision. The knife features a unique air pocket blade that prevents ingredients from sticking to the blade during use. The stainless steel blade, with a hardness of 55 HRC, ensures durability and sharpness, while the ergonomic Fibrox handle provides a secure grip.

Perfect for finer cutting tasks such as julienne slicing, dicing vegetables, and precision chopping of herbs. The knife's broad blade offers stability when working with larger vegetables and makes it easier to handle cuts of meat or fish.

Functional design that makes cutting easier

The air pocket blade of the Santoku knife consists of small indentations along the edge, creating air pockets between the knife and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients from adhering to the blade—particularly useful when cutting sticky items like potatoes and apples. The wide blade provides extra stability and balance during use, which is especially valuable when chopping onions or other vegetables where precision is crucial.

Comfort and safety in busy kitchens

The Fibrox handle is designed for professional use and remains slip-resistant even under wet or greasy conditions. The ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during extended use, making the knife suitable for both home and restaurant kitchens. Weighing only 60 grams, the knife is easy to maneuver, providing better control and less strain on the wrist during repetitive cutting motions.

Technical specifications and maintenance

The Santoku knife is made from stainless steel with a blade length of 170 mm and a hardness of 55 HRC, providing a good balance between sharpness and durability. To maintain the knife's quality and sharpness, hand washing and immediate drying after use are recommended, as the knife is not dishwasher safe. Regular sharpening will extend the knife's lifespan and ensure optimal cutting performance.

Can the knife be used to cut through bones or cartilage?
No, the Santoku knife is designed for precision cutting of vegetables, meat, and fish, but it is not suitable for cutting through hard materials like bones and cartilage.
