Each kitchen knife by Viking is handmade in Solingen, Germany from the highest quality, high carbon - chromium - vanadium stainless steel that has been ice-hardened for durability and retained sharpness. These full tang, drop forged knives have ideal balance and a cutting edge hand ground for optimum performance. Upgrade your kitchen with Viking Professional Cutlery.

The hefty, well-balanced blade of each Viking kitchen knife does more of the work for you. The triple-riveted composite handle is comfortable, easy to clean, and able to withstand daily use beautifully, attesting to Viking's tradition of excellence.

The Viking 5" Hollow Ground, or Granton, Santoku Knife is the Japanese equivalent of the versatile European chef's knife. It is well suited for fish, meat and vegetables. The width of the blade elevates your hand above the counter, allowing for ample knuckle clearance, and the curvature of the blade allows for chopping by rocking the blade. It is also adept at slicing with a forward and back motion and chopping up and down. The granton edge reduces friction and cuts down on food sticking to the blade as you cut.

• Hot-drop forged from a single piece of steel
• Hollow ground, or granton edge blade
• 18/10 stainless steel
