  • Full tang construction provides superb stability
  • High carbon NO STAIN steel resists corrosion

ZWILLING Pro 7-inch Santoku Knife

This German-made santoku features a hollow-edge blade crafted from high carbon NO STAIN steel. The full tang construction runs the full length of the ergonomic polymer handle secured by three rivets. A curved bolster supports the professional pinch grip for safe, controlled cutting. The blade profile blends a curved front for rocking cuts with a straight back for chopping motions.

Suited for cooks preferring a lighter, slimmer knife

The slim profile reduces blade size by 9% and weight by 24% compared to the original Pro line, fitting smaller hands comfortably. The medium-sized handle and lighter build increase nimbleness and reduce fatigue during extended prep. Buyers needing a heavier, traditional Western chef's knife or a larger blade for heavy-duty butchery should consider other styles.

Handles everyday slicing, dicing, and chopping tasks

The 7-inch blade length provides ample edge for vegetables, boneless proteins, and herbs using both rocking and straight-down techniques. The hollow edge helps prevent food from sticking to the blade sides during repetitive cuts. It is not designed for cleaving bones, frozen foods, or tasks requiring a cleaver or heavy chef's knife.

Questions about this item

Does the 38438-183 need a specific cutting board material to protect the high carbon NO STAIN steel blade?

The special formula high carbon NO STAIN steel is designed for durability; using wood or plastic boards will maintain the edge, while glass or stone surfaces should be avoided.

How does the 24% lighter weight of the 38438-183 change the balance compared to a heavier traditional chef's knife?

The reduced weight shifts the balance point closer to the handle, increasing nimbleness for precision tasks and reducing wrist fatigue during extended prep sessions.

What visual cue confirms the full tang construction on the 38438-183 is properly seated in the polymer handle?

The steel should be visible as a continuous line running the full length of the handle spine, secured by the three rivets with no gaps between the tang and the handle scales.
