An all-purpose knife that makes it easy and beautiful...

The Santoku knife is an all-purpose knife called Santoku because it can be used for preparing all kinds of ingredients, including vegetables, meat, and fish. If you are choosing your first knife, we recommend this one, as it can cut anything. Easy and beautiful... It is lightweight and easy to handle, the cut surfaces of soft ingredients are beautiful, and you can move the knife rhythmically and quickly for julienning and mincing.

The Laminated (Damascus) blade pattern is a popular choice that combines aesthetic beauty with sharpness. With a total of 17 layers, including V-Gold No. 10 steel at the core, the steel materials are layered like a mille-feuille, characterized by beautiful wave patterns. By pressing, grinding, and polishing the surface, each knife is finished with a unique and beautiful blade pattern. The handle has a soft, curved design that fits comfortably in the hand, and uses a Scotch pattern. The beautiful wood grain and elegant color are wonderful. Additionally, a bolster is added for durability and hygienic function.

Precautions for Use |
◆ VG10 Stainless Steel is a material made with the highest steelmaking technology using carefully selected high-purity raw iron. It has high hardness and excellent durability against friction, deformation, and oxidation, resulting in good sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. It is a multi-layer steel with a Rockwell hardness of around C62.
◆ Stainless steel knives form a film on the surface, invisible to the eye, through polishing. This film prevents contact with oxygen in the air, making the knife rust-resistant. Wiping and drying the knife after use will prevent rust. Conversely, leaving it wet or dirty can cause rust.
