Henckels 5-in. Four Star Santoku Knife

Made in Solingen, Germany, this hollow edge santoku is forged, not stamped. Blade density is improved using the FRIODUR ice-hardening process, which provides a sharper initial edge for easier maintenance over time. Part of the Four Star series, the santoku knife is made of high-carbon stainless steel and precision-honed, with a laser-controlled edge, a balanced super-bolster and a tang that extends to the back of the polypropylene handle which is permanently bonded for seamless accuracy. Indentations along the blade help reduce "drag" when slicing, and prevents food from sticking. Dishwasher-safe. Features of SIGMAFORGE® knives are: New one piece construction High forging precision Higher stability of blade Perfect geometry Improved steel structure for less metal fatigue Improved cutting-edge retention and lasting sharpness Improved weight and balance FRIODUR® ice hardened for maximum no-stain properties and more blade strength
