Key Features

- Swiss-Made Craftsmanship: Expertly forged and finished in Switzerland, this knife reflects over a century of Victorinox expertise in blade manufacturing, designed specifically for professionals who rely on their tools day in and day out.
- Three-Use Design: True to its name—’Santoku’ meaning ‘three uses’ in Japanese—this knife excels at slicing, dicing, and mincing, combining the versatility of a chef’s knife with the precision of a cleaver.
- Superior Balance and Weight: Engineered for comfort and control, the knife feels balanced in hand, reducing fatigue during extended prep work and improving accuracy with each cut.

Care & Maintenance
To preserve the beauty and functionality of your Victorinox Santoku knife, proper care is essential. Hand washing is recommended to protect the rosewood handle from prolonged exposure to moisture, which could lead to warping or cracking over time. After washing, dry the knife thoroughly and store it in a dry, safe place—preferably in a knife block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to prevent blade damage. Avoid soaking the knife or placing it in the dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high heat can degrade the handle material and compromise the blade’s integrity. While the blade is designed to retain sharpness for extended periods, regular honing with a honing steel will help maintain its edge between professional sharpenings. With proper care, this knife will serve as a trusted kitchen companion for years to come.

To maintain the beauty and longevity of the rosewood handle, hand washing is recommended. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and store in a dry place. The knife comes with a lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, provided it is used and cared for properly. Regular honing will help preserve the blade’s sharpness between professional sharpenings.
