Santoku knife, 17.5 cm, Senjen Hammer

SENJEN Hammer Santoku – precision tool with 67 layers of steel

The SENJEN Hammer Santoku knife combines Japanese knife-forging tradition with Danish design. With its 17.5 cm VG10 steel blade and 67 layers of Damascus steel, you get a precision tool that cuts through everything with minimal resistance. The black G10 handle provides a secure grip, and the raw, hammered surface adds character while reducing food sticking to the blade.

Ideal for precision work with vegetables, fruit, smaller cuts of meat, and fish, where the wide blade offers excellent control and balance.

Japanese precision with Nordic strength

The Damascus blade with 67 layers of steel is the result of an ancient Japanese forging technique originally used for swords. The method produces an exceptionally hard blade (59–60 HRC) that still retains its flexibility. The VG10 core ensures exceptional sharpness that lasts even under intensive use. The hammered surface is not merely aesthetically pleasing – it creates small air pockets that prevent food from sticking to the blade during work.

Professional balance and durability

Weighing 508 grams, the knife provides the weight and balance required for precise work. The G10 handle – a fibreglass-epoxy laminate – is extremely hard-wearing and resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations. The stainless steel bolster ensures a strong connection between blade and handle. The santoku knife's shape, with its wide blade, provides good knuckle clearance on the chopping board, making it particularly well suited to chopping and slicing tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How do I care for my SENJEN Hammer Santoku knife?

Always wash the knife by hand with mild washing-up liquid and dry it immediately afterwards. Never use a dishwasher, as this can damage both the edge and the handle material.

What is the difference between a santoku knife and a chef's knife?

The santoku knife typically has a wider blade with a flat edge and a rounded tip, making it particularly well suited to slicing, chopping, and dicing, whereas a chef's knife has a more pointed shape.
