Santoku Knife
The Santoku knife is a general-purpose knife and in Japanese means "three virtues", as it can be used to chop meat, fish, and vegetables. The tip is more curved than a chef's knife, while the length of the blade is ideal for chopping.
Blade Material
The Damascus knife series consists of knives with blades made from 67-layer Damascus Steel, making them exceptionally sharp and highly durable.
The hardness rating is 61 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).
Handle
The handle is made from high-pressure fiberglass, G-10, and is a material with high strength, corrosion resistance, non-slip, and heat resistance. Additionally, it provides good shock absorption, helping to reduce user fatigue during knife use. G-10 knife handles are also lightweight and easy to process.
Cutting board
It is recommended to make 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 without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.
For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with 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 initially, after some use it needs sharpening, which you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.
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 a piece of paper. In contrast, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cut will be jagged.
It is also recommended to occasionally have your knives sharpened by a professional to repair any potential damage to the blade edge and to maintain sharpness.
