800 DP 7 Inch Rocking Santoku

I am not a professional Chef. However, being an avid culinary hobbyist, highly technical and diligent with my purchases, form, function, design and value are prerequisites. With a fundamental understanding of material properties, ZWILLING’s FC61 steel has ideal properties that when combined with Damascus fabrication and thermal treatment, the knife edge is incredibly refined, ultra sharp and precisely hardened to maintain function for long periods of time. I use this knife daily. The angle of the handle and shape of the blade works very well for my style and was an easy transition from the traditional Chef’s knife for processing most small to medium sized food. The knife is well balanced with a natural feel that provides greater control when mincing, slicing and dicing . Julienne cut’s require extra motion due to the shape of the blade and if large portions are required, I find utilizing a strait contact blade to be more efficient. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend this knife to anyone looking to improve their culinary experience.
