Japanese precision tool for the demanding kitchen

Santoku translates to "three virtues" in Japanese, referring to the knife's ability to excel in chopping, slicing, and dicing. The slightly curved edge, combined with a blade hardness of 60-61 HRC, makes this knife a versatile tool that cuts through both hard and soft ingredients with minimal resistance. The VG10 steel core is specifically designed to maintain a sharp edge for an extended period, even with intensive use, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.

Durability and comfort in perfect balance

The ironwood handle (Desert Ironwood) – the hardest wood in the world – not only gives the knife an exclusive appearance but also provides a surprisingly comfortable feel in the hand. The stainless steel bolster adds perfect balance and ensures that the knife remains stable and controlled in your hand, even during extended use. With an overall length of 305 mm and a weight of 205 grams, the knife has the ideal heft to let the blade do the work without unnecessarily straining your wrist.

Maintaining your investment

This santoku knife is not just a kitchen tool; it's an investment in your cooking enjoyment. To preserve the knife's unique qualities, it should always be hand washed and thoroughly dried after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as it can damage both the blade and the handle. The gently rounded finish of the knife makes it pleasant to work with and easier to maintain.

• 61 layers of Damascus steel with a VG10 core for superior sharpness and wear resistance
