Fischer ZEN 17cm professional santoku knife extreme hardness

The ZEN knife series has been designed by Fischer, in France, with the aim of offering you a series of ultra-practical knives! Of course, every chef has his or her own expectations when it comes to cutting equipment, but ZEN knives are capable of meeting the main selection criteria of all cooks, seasoned or not!

This 17cm santoku knife features a blade in top-of-the-range Sandvik 14C28 Chrome Manganese X62CrMn14 steel.

It achieves a hardness of around 60/61 HRC on the Rockwell scale, which is a very high average for a Western kitchen knife. This enables it to maintain its ideal cutting quality, even lasting around 50% longer than conventional knives on the market. It has also been sharpened by hand, in the purest French cutlery tradition! This process gives the blade a razor-sharp, long-lasting edge, as well as an exemplary finish.

The micarta handle is a notable feature of this professional knife: made from a blend of linen and resin, it is both solid and hygienic. It's easy to grip and lightweight, for effortless, long-lasting use. Its stainless steel bolster and base have been specially calibrated for perfect balance.

This series of knives has been tested and approved by renowned chef Cyrille ZEN, a finalist in a famous cooking show. Whether you're a professional chef or a cooking enthusiast, you'll love these exceptional knives! What's more, their style is extremely pleasing. The slender steel blade blends perfectly with the bluish-black micarta handle, for a timeless, designer knife.
