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

It consists of the innovative Japanese VG10 stainless steel alloy at its core, which ensures excellent hardness and durability. The VG10 is covered by two layers of soft stainless steel with a chromium content of 13% for easier sharpening and better knife protection.

Each Zen is hand-sharpened by skilled Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15°, to deliver an incredibly sharp knife.

Its hardness level is 58 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Comfortable wooden handle

It is made of chestnut wood, a wood that is hard and durable both in continuous and hard use, as well as in contact with food and kitchen materials. The round shape of the handle makes the use of the knife comfortable and practical from every angle, giving you the ability to use its sharp blade in any direction you want. The wooden handle harmoniously matches the metal of the blade and tightly binds together with it in the collar with resin.

Cutting Surface

It is recommended to perform cuts 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.

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 in the beginning, after some use it needs sharpening, something 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 jagged.

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.

    For three months, I cut everything (most things) and I didn't even need to sharpen it in a regular restaurant kitchen. Extreme. A bit heavy but just right. It's my first time trying a Japanese knife and I'm giving it five stars
