Old meets new, east meets west, and traditional meets modernno matter how you slice it, the new zwilling j.A. Henckels pro 7" santoku hollow ground knife is a blend of all the best concepts that zwilling has developed. The first visible departure from the norm in this series is the distinct angled bolster that tapers to an edge at the heel of the blade. This innovation, a design by legendary knife designer matteo thun, ensures a secure pinch-grip style hold on the blade, while allowing ease of sharpening for years to come without a bulky bolster getting in the way at the heel of the knife. The traditional 3-rivet full-tang handle is taken directly from the venerable zwilling professional s series, and the precision forging construction process is a step ahead in knife technology. The unique blade design of each knife steps away from traditional styling, maximizing performance while extending the boundaries in modern design. Each blade is then hand finished to a 15-degree edge angle to optimize cutting efficiency. Truly, this is the next era of zwilling knives.
