Scanpan G-80 Santoku Knife 7-Inch Hollow Ground

7-Inch Hollow Ground Santoku

This Japanese santoku knife is built for precise slicing, chopping and mincing in everyday kitchen prep. The 7-inch hollow-ground blade reduces sticking and drag on vegetables and meats. It suits home cooks who want a single, versatile blade for routine tasks. The dimpled handle provides a secure, comfortable grip during extended use.

Upgrade From Thicker Western Blades

Replacing a heavier chef's knife with this thinner, ice-tempered Cromova 18 stainless steel blade makes fine vegetable work faster and less tiring. The jump is worth it when you regularly prep large volumes of produce and want reduced friction. It is not suited for heavy cleaving, bone work or frozen foods that would damage the fine edge.

Capacity For Daily Prep

The blade comfortably handles vegetables, boneless meats and herbs for family-sized meals. It runs out on dense squash, thick-skinned melons or any task requiring a heavy spine or pointed tip. The 0.30 kg weight keeps the knife agile but limits momentum for tough root vegetables. Frequent honing maintains the factory sharpness.
