What is an 18 cm Santoku knife used for?

A Santoku knife is a Japanese-style multi-purpose kitchen knife designed for cutting, chopping and slicing.

The EVO 01356 is particularly suitable for:

• Cutting vegetables.

• Chopping ingredients.

• Preparing meat.

• Cutting fish.

• Slicing food.

• Everyday kitchen preparation.

• Controlled cutting on a chopping board.

Its wide blade provides a generous cutting surface while the 18 cm length keeps the knife practical and manoeuvrable.

18 cm hollow edge stainless steel blade

The main feature of the EVO 01356 is its 18 cm hollow edge blade.

The hollow sections create small air pockets between the blade and the food, helping to reduce adhesion during cutting. This can be particularly useful when preparing moist vegetables and other ingredients that tend to stick to a conventional flat blade.

The EVO range uses Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel AISI 420 / WNR-4116. Commercial specifications for the 01356 indicate a hardness of approximately 54 HRC.

The smooth cutting edge is designed for controlled, continuous cuts across a range of ingredients.

What does hollow edge mean?

A hollow edge Santoku features small recessed sections along the blade near the cutting edge.

These recesses create small air pockets that can help food release more easily from the blade instead of remaining attached to its surface.

This design can be useful when cutting:

• Potatoes.

• Courgettes and zucchini.

• Cucumbers.

• Aubergines and eggplants.

• Fruit.

• Moist vegetables.

• Meat.

• Fish.

The hollow edge is a functional feature that complements the knife's wide Santoku blade.

Black polypropylene handle

The black overmoulded polypropylene handle is designed to provide a comfortable and controlled grip.

Its practical construction complements the EVO range and makes the knife suitable for both home kitchens and professional food preparation environments.

Stamped construction and satin-matte finish

The 01356 uses stamped construction, contributing to its practical and functional format.

Its satin-matte finish gives the blade a discreet appearance suitable for everyday kitchen use.

Why choose an 18 cm Santoku knife?

An 18 cm Santoku knife offers a useful balance between blade length, cutting surface and manoeuvrability.

Compared with a traditional chef's knife, the Santoku format has a distinctive wide blade and Japanese-inspired geometry. The EVO 01356 also incorporates a hollow edge, giving it an additional functional feature designed to help reduce food adhesion.

Within the EVO range, the 01356 is clearly differentiated from the 15 cm and 20 cm chef's knives because it combines an 18 cm Santoku blade with hollow-edge technology.
