Pro 5.5-inch Rocking Santoku Knife, Hollow Edge
The ZWILLING Pro 5.5-inch Rocking Santoku Knife with Hollow Edge is a compact, Japanese-inspired all-purpose knife engineered for the professional pinch grip and the rocking cutting motion. Santoku means "three virtues" in Japanese — this knife excels at all three: mincing garlic, slicing cucumber, and dicing onions with precision and ease. The hollow edge features small indentations (grantons) along the blade that prevent food from sticking while cutting. The ZWILLING Pro's signature curved bolster acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the pinch grip with thumb and index finger on the blade for safer cutting and less fatigue. The broad curve at the front facilitates a Western rocking motion while the straight back enables the Japanese chopping technique — the full blade length can be used and sharpened from bolster to tip.
