Description

Santoku Knife

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 prolonged use.

Blade Material

The blade of Shippu is made of damascus stainless steel, renowned for its sharpness and durability throughout the centuries, as well as for the impressive pattern known as "water" that it creates, making each knife truly unique. 

More specifically, the core of the blade is made of the innovative Japanese VG10 stainless steel alloy, known for its hardness due to the cobalt it contains, enclosed by distinct layers of damascus steel, thus enhancing the hardness and durability of the knife. 

Each Shippu is hand-sharpened by skilled Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15°, ensuring you receive an incredibly sharp knife.

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

Comfortable wooden handle

The handle of the Shippu gives the feeling of warm and comfortable grip that wood provides. It is made of rosewood, a hard and durable wood that can withstand continuous and hard use, as well as contact with food and kitchen materials. The round shape of the handle makes the use of the knife comfortable and practical from any angle, allowing you to use its sharp blade in any desired direction. The wooden handle harmoniously matches the metal of the blade and tightly binds with it in the collar with resin.

Cutting Surface

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 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 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 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.
