All-Clad Forged 7-Inch Santoku Knife

Product description

The santoku shape covers a broad run of chopping-board work, from slicing vegetables to portioning boneless meat. Its seven-inch blade is worth considering if you want one principal prep knife in this size rather than adding several specialized blades. Use a separate small knife when the work calls for close trimming or peeling.

All-Clad uses forged German stainless steel with a cryo-hardening treatment, then manufactures the finished knife in China. The grooved blade is part of its design, not a promise that every ingredient will release without help. Handwashing and prompt drying are part of ownership, so include that routine when comparing it with your existing knives.
