### Product Description

PROFESSIONAL "S" are the classic knives for the professional kitchen. The knives are made of proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for over 280 years. Combined with ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, these FRIODUR blades are harder, sharper, they will NOT STAIN or chip and they retain their sharpness longer.

Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the knives' laser- controlled edge is incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these threerivet handle knives deliver optimum balance and safe handling. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives.

The Japanese version of the chef’s knife, the santoku is useful for straight chopping, mincing, and slicing of larger quantities of vegetables and meat. Cooks with smaller hands may prefer this 7-inch blade as the shorter length offers better control while cutting. The width also provides a great platform for transporting chopped vegetables from cutting board to sauté pan. This version of the santoku actually has a hollow edge or oval cut-outs along the blade. The benefit to this blade style is that cooks can cut paper-thin slices and individual slices won’t stick to the blade.

Part of the Pro S series of cutlery, this knife has a fully forged high-carbon stainless-steel blade. The blade, bolster, and tang are welded of one piece of metal using Henckels’s Sinter Metal Component Technology, which distributes the right quantities of metal to each part of the knife. The result is a longer-lasting edge and a more consistent angle on the blade. The blade has also undergone Henckels’s Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens it and protects it from discoloration. The traditional-style black synthetic handle is secured to the tang with three stainless-steel rivets. This santoku is covered by a lifetime warranty. _\--Cristina Vaamonde_

_4.0 out of 5 stars_ Henckels Pro S or Wusthof Classic Ikon Santoku will become your primary knife

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019

Size: 7-inch __Color: Black/Stainless Steel __Verified Purchase

This is a review of the 7" Henckels Pro S Santoku knife. I had the opportunity to test out both the 5 and 7 inch Pro S knives in person before I purchased the 7 inch on Amazon. I don't have large hands but the 5 inch Santoku felt cramped to cut with in comparison. You can use this knife for just about all of your cutting needs. You could get away with buying this, a paring knife , and a serrated knife. I'd recommend buying a few good sharp knives over a huge set of mediocre knives any day. The Pro S Santoku is a great, sharp, all-purpose knife. Right after I bought it, this knife became my go-to knife with daily use until I recently purchased a Henckels Ikon Blackwood Santoku. For full disclosure: I was very happy with the ProS and never would have spent the money moving to different model but life circumstances changed and I left my ProS line behind with my ex. I tested out knives before investing in any again. I now use the Henckels knife almost exclusively over any other knife because I prefer the feel of it. Here's why: As you can see, the two knives offer a different handle and bolster (end of the blade just before it connects to the handle). The smaller bolster of the Wusthof Ikon knife makes it easier for me to cut with more area of the knife. As far as the "butt" ends: The Pro S line has a curve at the butt, meant to rest your pinky finger on (supposedly to prevent fatigue). I prefer the handle of the Wusthof Ikon which is contoured gradually from the blade to butt with no sharp curve at the butt - it just feels good in my hand. I like the feeling of a wood handle, but it's not for everyone. The Henckels also comes in an Ikon Classic model which is exactly the same knife (same exact blade, sharpness, shape, everything as the wood one) but with a synthetic material for the handle: Polyoxymethylene (POM) that is the same material used for the handle of the Henckels Pro S knife. The POM material feels good, is strong, non-porous and will hold up well over time. Other differences between the two brands: the Wusthofs ikon's blades are cut at 14 degree angle while the Henckels are a 15 degree angle (slightly less sharp). Honestly, they are both great sharp knives. Both the ProS and the Wusthof Ikon knives will happily tear into your skin or cut off fingernails if you're not being careful - or so I've been told! :) I didn't find that the "granton" (hollowed out sections of the blade) on either knife does much for me over a chef's knife. It is intended to create an air pocket and help moist food not cling so much to the blade but meh, I always have stuff stick anyway. Regardless, I prefer the shape of the blade of the Santoku over a chef's knife. Even though the listing says dishwasher-safe, you'll notice that the manufacturer suggests hand washing. This is because the blade can get damaged by rubbing against things. Also, if the knife doesn't get washed right away, stuck on food, especially acidic stuff, can damage the blade. Hand wash and dry the knife right after using and it'll last a lot longer. Your knife should be honed regularly, preferably every time you use it (honing straightens/realigns the blade - regular use bends the blade and your knife will feel duller). The knife should also be sharpened occasionally (removes steel material from the blade creating a new edge). If you have typical home use, once a year or so is usually enough. Overall, I do recommend this knife. If you have a chance, visit a brick and mortar store before purchasing to test out the feel of the knife in your hand. I do recommend the Pro S knife - it was my favorite knife for years.

_5.0 out of 5 stars_ Great knife

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2012

Size: 7-inch __Color: Black/Stainless Steel __Verified Purchase

This cost more than I would like to spend on a knife, but I wanted a quality razor sharp knife and I now have one. I even christened it by cutting my finger within the first couple of times I used it. It's deadly. I don't feel like messing around with a food processor so I needed a couple good slicing knives to handle the fresh foods that I prepare. After researching, I decided to stay in the Henckels line. I already had a Santoku and kitchen knife by Henckels but wanted another Santoku after discovering someone had put little knicks in my blade. (none of my boys ever fessed up) I prefer the Santoku over the kitchen knife just because it's my personal preference. I like the feel of it better, although I do like the kitchen knife as the blade is slightely curved which allows me some rocking action when chopping fine things like herbs. So now I have a high quality veggie knife, and the old knicked santoku and kitchen knife which are still sharp which I use for meats and miscellaneous jobs. I love cutting with a sharp knife. It makes me feel good. It's a good buy, and the knife will probably last as long as I do. I also purchased a good sharpener to keep my knives sharp.

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020

This is a great knife. It keeps an incredible edge and is very light weight... a ‘fast’ knife. This is a very high quality knife. Forged, perfectly balanced, and a comfortable handle. Highly recommend for anyone who is serious about what they do in the kitchen.

_2.0 out of 5 stars_ I have many Henckel knives and have replaced them with Cutco

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2019

Size: 7-inch __Color: Black/Stainless Steel __Verified Purchase

The Henckels are not dishwasher safe and must be hand washed to keep the handle rivots from corroding and causing the handles from falling off. Although the Cutco brand is expensive, the Henckel are priced very comparably.

_5.0 out of 5 stars_ I am pleased with this knife

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2014

Size: 7-inch __Color: Black/Stainless Steel __Verified Purchase

This is my go to knife for almost everything. I still use a Pro-s paring knife for small tasks. I have never been able to cut tomatoes particularly well until I began using this knife. I have used it for slicing, dicing & chopping vegetables & meats. I haven't sharpened it yet and have not noticed a need to. Of course I will admit I don't cook a lot and only use this knife maybe once a week. Overall, I am pleased with this knife.
