Santoku Chef's Knife - 180 mm blade

Santoku means "3 virtues" in Japanese because it can be used to cut both meat, fish and vegetables. Japanese precision, western robustness. The best of both worlds. * 100% handmade * Ultra sharp 440C Japanese steel * Full tang * Pakkawood handle * Perfectly balanced * Stainless * Saya (scabbard) in pine wood included with each knife * Lifetime warranty * HRC hardness: 59-60 * Weight: 189g Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the hammering of the "Tsuchime" blade creates small air pockets between the blade and the food slices. This ancient Japanese method prevents food from sticking to the blade for a pleasant and quick cut. The finesse of the Santoku blade will allow you to slice and mince without ever crushing even the most delicate ingredients, so that they retain all their flavor. In addition, the dimpled blade reduces friction between the knife and cut food so that it does not stick to the blade. KOTAI's Santoku is forged from 440C steel, a premium steel that combines a high carbon content for hardness and edge durability with the optimum amount of chromium to prevent oxidation. The hidden full tang - a single piece of steel extending from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle - gives the Santoku ideal balance and exceptional durability.
