A versatile stainless steel blade with printed damascus
The blade of the Kutoyama Black Pakka santoku knife is made of 4Cr13MoV stainless steel, an alloy enriched with vanadium and molybdenum. This type of steel is renowned for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to withstand the stresses of daily use. With a hardness of around 56 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade retains a certain flexibility, enabling it to better resist impact and accidental contact with harder areas, such as edges or small bones.
This moderate hardness also makes maintenance easier. The cutting edge can be regularly maintained with a sharpening gun, before each use, to maintain an efficient cut without the need for complex sharpening.
The surface of the blade has a damascened look, combined with a mirror-effect polished finish. This treatment provides an elegant visual effect while facilitating cleaning. The blade is also dimpled to limit food sticking to it, especially when wet or greasy, thus improving cutting comfort.
An ergonomic, resistant pakka handle
The handle of the Kutoyama Black Pakka santoku knife is designed for a comfortable, natural grip. Its oval shape adapts easily to the hand, and is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users. This geometry promotes good ergonomics, even during long preparation sessions in the kitchen.
The handle is made from dark pakka wood, a composite material of laminated wood and resin, compressed under heat. This process produces a particularly stable handle, resistant to humidity and temperature variations, while retaining a natural appearance thanks to the wood's visible grain. The bolster and base are made of stainless steel, ensuring a solid connection with the blade and contributing to the knife's overall balance.
An indispensable knife for everyday cooking
The Kutoyama Black Pakka 17 cm santoku knife is an excellent choice for those looking for a versatile knife that's easy to use and simple to maintain. Its 4Cr13MoV steel blade, combined with moderate hardness, offers efficient, forgiving cutting, while its pakka handle ensures comfort and stability. This model is ideally suited to everyday use, whether as a gift or as an accessory.
To preserve its qualities, we recommend washing the knife only by hand after use, drying it immediately to remove all traces of moisture, then storing it in a dry place. Dishwashing and prolonged soaking in the sink should be avoided to preserve the blade and handle over time.
