The ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Pro 1002845 is a 7-inch rocking santoku knife that bridges Japanese and European cutting traditions in a single precision-crafted blade. Forged in Germany through the SIGMAFORGE process from one piece of high-carbon stainless steel, the blade is FRIODUR ice-hardened for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The curved blade profile and slant tip facilitate a smooth rocking motion, making fast, fluid chopping of proteins and vegetables effortless. A diagonal curved bolster integrates seamlessly with the triple-riveted polymer handle, supporting a safe pinch grip and allowing sharpening along the full length of the blade. Designed by Milanese architect Matteo Thun, the Pro series delivers a balance of refined aesthetics and serious professional performance.
