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 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 prolonged use.
Santoku Knife
High-quality construction
The handle is ergonomic and provides you with a firm grip, while its blade is made of German Stainless Steel X50CrMoV15 (high in Chromium, Carbon, and Vanadium content), making it extremely sharp and resistant to corrosion.
Cutting Surface
Cuts are recommended to be made 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.
Sharpening
No matter how sharp a knife is in the beginning, 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 dull.
Also, it is advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to repair possible damage to the edge of the blade and to maintain sharpness.
