Top 10 Best Granton Edge Knives November 2026
Some people call a Granton Edge Knife a Hollow Edge or Fluted Edge Knife. The blade features hollowed-out dimples or grooves on one or both sides of the blade. Depending on what is being cut, these grooves will fill with juices or create pockets of air. This prevents food from sticking to the blade. On top of that, it creates less friction between the knife and the food.
The majority of the Granton Edge knives on this page have a similar appearance to one another. Their bolster makes it simple to sharpen the whole blade, all the way down to the blade heel. A good knuckle clearance allows for comfortable usage without interfering with the knuckles. However, here is where the parallels between the two situations end.
