5.5-inch, Rocking santoku

ZWILLING Pro RCF is our latest advancement in sustainable knifemaking. This special edition collection is crafted with more than 90% recycled special formula steel. Consciously crafted with a 50% reduction of the CO2 footprint during the production of the steel, the Pro RCF collection moves one step closer to bringing lasting positive change to our environment and future generations.

This all-purpose Asian-style knife is perfect for smaller kitchen tasks. The relative straight edge from heel to tip supports the “push cut”, one of the most common cutting techniques in Japanese cooking. The small-scale santoku is ideal for everything from dicing vegetables and finely chopping herbs, to slicing thin cuts of meat and fish.

ZWILLING Pro boasts a unique curved bolster that acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was designed with a broad curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the chopping motion Japanese knives were designed for. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip.
