A high-quality chef’s knife is the most essential tool for both professional and home chefs. The Santoku is a Japanese-style chef’s knife, characterized by its wide blade and gently curved cutting edge. The spine near the tip curves sharply downward. The Santoku excels at quick slicing, dicing, and mincing. Its oval grinding reduces friction and helps ingredients release more easily from the blade. The blade is made from a premium steel alloy, carefully optimized for its purpose. The result is a durable knife that stays sharp for a long time between sharpenings. The handle made of processed maple is beautiful, unique, strong, durable, and comfortable in the hand. It is also low-maintenance – no oiling or treatment required; regular cleaning is enough. Do not wash a knife with a wooden handle in the dishwasher. Wash it by hand and dry with a kitchen towel. Blade length 17 cm.
