Description
xThe Mercer Genesis 7-Inch Santoku Knife blends professional-grade construction with everyday practicality, giving home cooks a tool that feels responsive and balanced in hand. Forged from high-carbon German steel, the blade is precision-formed as a single piece to maximize durability and edge retention. The taper-ground edge is finished by hand to deliver consistent, sharp performance from thin vegetable slices to finely minced herbs. The blade’s robust bolster adds weight and balance, helping you keep a steady wrist as you work through longer prep sessions.
An ergonomic Santoprene handle provides a secure, comfortable grip, even when hands are wet or soapy. The Granton edge creates micro air pockets along the blade face, helping reduce sticking and allowing each slice to release more easily as you move through a batch of prep work. This Genesis knife is manufactured in Taiwan with European components and technology, reflecting Mercer’s commitment to professional-quality tools designed for home kitchens. It carries a one-year warranty and benefits from careful hand-washing guidance to preserve both edge and finish. This santoku shines in tasks like mincing garlic, dicing onions, and slicing herbs, and it pairs well with other Genesis knives for a complete prep set.
