Sabatier Hercules - Santoku 18 cm

Sabatier Hercules Santoku 18 cm – Versatile Kitchen Knife for Precise Cutting

The Sabatier Hercules Santoku with an 18 cm blade is a versatile kitchen knife designed for everyday food preparation. The Japanese name Santoku means “three virtues” and refers to the knife’s three traditional uses: meat, fish and vegetables. Whether chopping leeks, carrots and courgettes, cutting raw meat into portions or preparing delicate fish fillets, its broad blade allows for fine, fast and precise cutting.

The high-quality blade is made from 5Cr15MoV stainless steel, combining reliable cutting performance with corrosion resistance. Its hollow-ground indentations create small air pockets between the blade and the food, helping to reduce sticking and allowing for smoother, more effortless cutting.

The Santoku is part of the HERCULES collection by Lion Sabatier. This knife series combines characteristic features of German-style kitchen knives, such as a square bolster and a well-fitting handle, with the weight, balance and quality of a Sabatier knife. The result is an excellent balance of practicality, durability and reliable cutting performance, making it ideal for ambitious home cooks and everyday kitchen use.
