Description

Santoku Knife

The Santoku knife is a general-purpose knife that in Japanese means "three virtues", as it can be used for meat, fish, and vegetables. Its tip is more curved than a chef's knife, while the length of its blade is ideal for fine chopping even on the countertop of a home kitchen, where space is usually more limited. Its lightweight makes it comfortable and fatigue-free even after hours of use.

Blade Material

The blade is made from Damascus steel, which began to be used during the Middle Ages in Japan and has remained legendary for its highly durable and sharp blades.

It consists of a central core of hard VG10 carbon steel alloy onto which steel layers are folded, creating a hard, extremely sharp blade with an edge angle of up to 15° and highly resistant to oxidation and wear.

The hardness level of the blade is 61 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Handle

The handle is made of a mixture of materials, consisting of resin and natural fibers, which is very durable and odorless.

The handle is finished with stainless steel to provide more stability.

Two stainless steel rivets hold the handle tightly.

Cutting Surface

It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they may cause permanent damage to the knife blades.

Cleaning

Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife immediately (with a mild detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you should wash the knife immediately after use.

For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from its edge, using a cloth or towel.

It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.

Sharpening

No matter how sharp a knife is at first, after some use it needs sharpening, something that you can achieve with a sharpener, sharpening stone, or strop.

You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a piece of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut through a piece of paper. On the other hand, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be uneven.

It is also recommended to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to fix any damage to the blade's edge and to maintain sharpness.

    The knife is worth its money, good blade, easy to sharpen with a stone. The only downside is that the tip in front of the knife will break if it hits something... like what happened to me...
