Hole knife

Start by matching your kitchen tasks to blade size, blade construction, and handle comfort. In this line you’ll find two Santoku knives with holes: a 17 cm blade (29.6 cm total) and a 12.5 cm blade (23.4 cm total). Both feature a perforated stainless steel blade with a satin finish and a PP handle with stainless steel accents, offered by Berghoff. For everyday prep, the longer blade covers larger vegetables and herbs; for compact spaces or precise chopping, the shorter blade gives more control. Handwash and dry thoroughly after cleaning to preserve the finish.

The perforations or holes in the blade reduce suction between the food and blade during slicing, letting food release more easily. This makes tasks like slicing onions, mushrooms, or other fibrous ingredients smoother and helps prevent food from sticking so you can keep a steady rhythm. The two Berghoff hole knives shown here share this feature, with stainless steel blades finished in satin for a clean look. Choosing between sizes depends on food size: the 17 cm blade handles larger produce, while the 12.5 cm blade offers more control for small ingredients.

Choose the 17 cm blade for general prep and larger vegetables; use the 12.5 cm blade when you want extra control on delicate tasks like herbs or finely diced items. Both models are designed for smooth slicing with minimal food sticking, making them versatile all-round tools in a busy kitchen. Since both have PP handles, both are comfortable to grip during longer prep sessions. Consider your storage space and typical recipes when deciding.

Always handwash these blades and dry thoroughly after cleaning to maintain blade sharpness and finish. The blades are stainless steel with a satin finish, which helps resist staining and wear when properly cared for. The PP handle with stainless steel accents supplies a sturdy, comfortable grip. Store and use each knife for appropriate tasks, and avoid harsh cleaners that can dull the edge. Regular wiping and drying will prolong edge life and keep the knives looking and performing like new.

Yes. The Berghoff Santoku line includes hole-equipped knives in both 12.5 cm and 17 cm blade lengths, designed for versatile kitchen prep. These two options share the same perforated blade design and satin finish, enabling smooth cutting and reduced sticking across a range of foods. Both are built with stainless steel and a PP handle, ensuring a comfortable grip. If you routinely chop different ingredient sizes, keeping both on hand lets you switch quickly between tasks.

Compare blade length (12.5 cm versus 17 cm), blade material (stainless steel with satin finish), blade design (perforations to minimize sticking), and handle composition (PP with stainless steel elements). Also note overall length and weight to gauge balance in your hand. These attributes influence how easy it is to slice, dice, and mince across various foods. The Berghoff options shown here are all new and designed for comfortable handling, with a focus on reducing food cling and improving prep efficiency.
