Tecna Santoku Knife, Granton Edge TC50018B, 18 cm

The Tecna Santoku Knife TC50018B from Ambrogio Sanelli is a professional Santoku knife with an 18 cm (7") granton-edge blade, 4.7 cm deep at the heel, for chopping, slicing and dicing in professional kitchens and catering operations. The granton edge, the row of hollows ground along the blade, reduces friction so food releases from the steel, and the wide, straight Santoku profile suits fast rocking or push cuts on vegetables, meat and fish.

The blade is NITRO-B nitrogen stainless steel (1.4916) with a semi-polished finish, and every piece receives a laser-controlled final sharpening for a long-lasting edge. The dual-injection handle has a rigid, non-deformable polypropylene core bonded to the steel tang and a softer black SEBS outer layer with microspheres that cut down on slipperiness and improve grip. All materials are non-toxic, sterilisable, dishwasher safe and resistant to extreme temperatures, and the knife complies with current food safety and hygiene regulations.

The same Santoku shape is also made with an 18 cm blade in blue, red and green Tecna Colore handles, and with a 20 cm blade in green and red.
