Grand Maître, santoku knife, 17cm, fluted, wood, gift box

Combining beautiful form with high function, the Grand Maître Santoku Knife from the Victorinox series of forged knives has a full tang blade that is uniformly hardened and perfectly balanced. But it’s not just this blade that gives the Santoku knife its robust strength – its wooden handle continues this theme, being both elegant and hard-wearing. Hand-polished and ergonomically designed, this handle promises its user comfort in its hold and supreme ease in its use, however long that might be. This is a graceful all-rounder, designed for the precision cutting of everything from meat and fish to fruit, vegetables and cheeses, its fluted edge minimizing the chance of food sticking to its blade. For use as much in private homes as in professional establishments.
