The Santoku knife is the all-purpose knife that in Japanese means "three virtues", as it can be used for meat, fish, and vegetables. Its tip is more curved than the chef's knife, while the length of its blade is ideal for fine chopping even on the countertop of the household kitchen, where space is usually more limited. Its lightweight makes it comfortable and fatigue-free even after hours of use.
Santoku Knife
High-quality stainless steel blade
The blades of all knives in the series are made of martensitic stainless steel. The key to optimal functionality and durability of the blade is the use of the right steel alloy. The steel must provide the perfect combination of sharpness and protection against corrosion. The blades in the series are extremely durable and sharp, offering high professional performance without being too hard, making sharpening easier and necessary at longer intervals.
Ergonomic handle, comfortable grip
The aesthetically pleasing handle of the Swiss Classic knives series is extremely ergonomic and made of POM, a material that offers unparalleled resistance to wear, can be sterilized, and has hardness and durability over a wide range of temperatures.
Cutting Surface
Cuts are recommended to be made on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they can 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.
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 sheet of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut through a sheet of paper. On the other hand, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be rough.
It is also advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to fix any damage to the blade's edge and to maintain sharpness.
