Santoku Knife Banquet Alivio, 31.5 cm, Fluted Blade, Stainless Steel

Eastern Wisdom in Your Kitchen The “Banquet Alivio” series Santoku knife is a modern interpretation of a Japanese classic. This 31.5 cm tool (total length) is designed for those who value speed, precision, and versatility. “Santoku” means “three virtues” in Japanese, referring to the knife’s ability to perform three tasks perfectly: slicing, dicing, and mincing. Innovative Blade Geometry This knife stands out not only for its shape but also for its functionality: Air Pockets (Granton Edge): Indentations on the blade surface create air pockets between the knife and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents moist or sticky foods (e.g., cheese, cucumbers, potatoes) from sticking to the blade. The cut becomes faster and cleaner. Versatility: The wide blade allows you to conveniently scoop up chopped ingredients and transfer them to a pot or pan. The straighter blade edge (compared to a chef’s knife) is ideal for an up-and-down chopping motion. Comfort: The sturdy, riveted handle ensures stability and control during every cut. Purpose For chopping vegetables, slicing meat and fish into thin strips, mincing fruits, slicing cheese. Technical Data Material: Stainless steel, plastic. Total Length: 31.5 cm.
