Key features:
The Santoku knife is a general-purpose knife and in Japanese it means "three virtues", as it can be used to finely chop meat, fish, and vegetables. Its tip is more curved than that of a chef's knife, while the length of its blade is ideal for finely chopping your food.
The blade is made of AUS-8 steel with a medium carbon content, high chromium content. It offers exceptional balance of properties between blade hardness, sharpness and corrosion resistance. This balance provides great durability and is the favorite alloy for many quality knife enthusiasts.
Its hardness level is 58 HRC (a knife with hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).
The handle is made of ABS plastic which is lightweight providing you with comfort during use. Additionally, it is known for its high strength and durability as well as its easy cleaning.
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.
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.
No matter how sharp a knife is at first, 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 dull.
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.
