17cm Satake Cutlery Black Pakkawood Japanese santoku knife

A sturdy blade for this Japanese kitchen knife

The santoku knife is a versatile tool, similar to a chef's knife, suitable for a wide variety of cuts. Perfect for working with meat, fruit and vegetables, it is not recommended for use on very hard foods such as squash or bones.

The blade of this Japanese kitchen knife is made of superior stainless steel, enriched with vanadium and molybdenum. These elements strengthen the alloy, making it particularly resistant to shock and corrosion. With a hardness of 57HRC on the Rockwell scale, this steel sharpens easily while offering long-lasting edge retention.

Thanks to this hardness, you can maintain your knife using a whetstone or gun, ensuring an ideal balance between ease of maintenance and cutting performance.

The blade, already sharpened for immediate use, also benefits from careful polishing, giving it an elegant finish and distinctive character.

The Japanese santoku knife for all hands

The handle of this Satake Cutlery knife is made of black pakkawood, a composite material renowned for its strength. This blend of laminated wood and resin, compressed under high temperature, combines the durability of composite with the natural aesthetics of wood, enhanced by its distinctive grain.

The full tang blade is solidly attached to the handle by threestainless steel rivets, guaranteeing optimum reliability. A stainless steel bolster harmoniously links the blade to the handle, providing excellent balance for comfortable use in the kitchen.

With its Western shape, this handle is suitable for both left- and right-handed users. Its ergonomic design ensures a pleasant grip, even during prolonged use.

To preserve your knife, wash only by hand with a soft, non-abrasive sponge. Dry it immediately after cleaning to remove any moisture, then store it in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher, nor soak in water.
