Ask a Question About This Product
The Tramontina Stainless Steel Santoku Knife processes vegetables, proteins, and general prep ingredients in commercial kitchens requiring precision slicing and chopping. The 7-inch blade operates in high-volume prep stations where chefs handle repetitive cutting tasks throughout service. This unit is specified for hotel kitchens, catering facilities, and restaurant prep areas handling medium to high daily output.
Commercial Application
This knife handles primary prep workflow in commercial kitchens. Chefs use it for vegetable brunoise, protein portioning, and herb processing during mise en place. The blade geometry reduces hand fatigue during extended prep shifts.
During service prep, operators process 15-20 kg of vegetables or proteins per shift. The lighter weight compared to chef knives allows faster repetitive cuts. Kitchen managers deploy this unit in stations requiring consistent slice thickness and clean cuts.
Key Operational Advantages
- Stainless steel blade maintains edge retention through 4-6 hour prep shifts
- 7-inch blade length processes medium vegetables and proteins without repositioning
- Thinner blade profile reduces cutting resistance by 30% compared to standard chef knives
- Dishwasher-safe construction allows commercial warewash cycle compatibility
- Polywood handle resists moisture penetration during wet prep operations
- CE certified for food contact compliance in UK, EU, USA, and Canadian commercial kitchens

A: The blade uses food-grade stainless steel meeting commercial kitchen standards for corrosion resistance and edge retention. Material composition complies with CE food contact regulations. Specific steel grade specification available on request for procurement documentation.
Q: What is the recommended cutting load capacity per shift?
A: This knife processes 15-20 kg of vegetables or proteins during standard 4-6 hour prep shifts. Operators should re-hone the edge after processing 10 kg of dense root vegetables. Load capacity depends on cutting board surface and operator technique.
Q: Does the handle adjust for different grip positions?
A: The handle has fixed geometry with ergonomic contour for standard chef grip positions. No adjustable components. The polywood material provides consistent grip friction when wet or dry.
