Santoku knife, 17 cm, Victorinox Fibrox, with Granton edge

Victorinox santoku knife with Granton edge for precise cutting

This Victorinox Swiss Classic santoku knife at 17 cm combines Japanese knife design with Swiss precision. The knife is fitted with a special Granton edge that prevents ingredients from sticking to the blade during use. The stainless steel blade with a hardness of 55 HRC ensures durability and sharpness, whilst the ergonomic Fibrox handle provides a secure grip.

Ideal for fine cutting tasks such as julienne cuts, dicing vegetables and precision chopping of herbs. The knife's wide blade provides stability when working with larger vegetables and lighter meat or fish preparations.

Functional design that makes cutting easier

The santoku knife's Granton edge consists of small indentations along the blade that create air pockets between the knife and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the blade – particularly useful when cutting sticky produce such as 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 matters.

Comfort and safety in busy kitchens

The Fibrox handle has been developed for professional use and remains non-slip even under wet or greasy working conditions. The ergonomic shape reduces hand fatigue during extended use, making the knife suitable for both home and restaurant kitchens. Weighing just 60 grams, the knife is easy to manoeuvre, providing better control and less strain on the wrist during repetitive cutting movements.

Technical specifications and maintenance

The santoku knife is made from stainless sheet steel with a blade length of 170 mm and a hardness of 55 HRC, providing a good balance between sharpness and wear resistance. To preserve 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 service life and ensure optimal cutting performance.

• A versatile tool for precision cutting with a Granton edge that prevents food from sticking

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a santoku knife and an ordinary chef's knife?
The santoku knife typically has a wider and flatter blade with less curvature than a classic chef's knife, making it particularly well suited to up-and-down movements rather than a rocking cutting technique.

Can the knife be used to cut through bone or cartilage?
No, the santoku knife is designed for precision cutting of vegetables, meat and fish, and is not suitable for cutting through hard materials such as bone and cartilage.
