A santoku knife is a versatile knife that allows you to make a wide variety of cuts! With it, you can mince meat, slice vegetables and chop herbs. This model features a small blade for greater precision.
The Glestain Home Series knives have been specially designed to meet the needs of home cooks! These Japanese kitchen knives are distinguished by their efficiency and ergonomic handles, offering optimal cutting capacity and exceptional comfort for time-saving in the kitchen!
In 1971, engineer Akira Honma founded the Glestain knife brand with the aim of fusing science and cutting-edge technology to achieve remarkable performance. From the very beginning of the brand, Glestain chose to adopt a direct approach, interacting with restaurants and chefs to raise its profile. This strategy aims to gather valuable feedback from kitchen professionals, contributing to the continuous improvement of Glestain knives.
Honma san itself passes on its manufacturing techniques and innovations to carefully selected craftsmen, reinforcing the reputation of Glestain knives among kitchen professionals.
The blade of this Japanese santoku knife is made of ACUTO440 stainless steel, a robust alloy renowned for its resistance to corrosion. Frequently used in the manufacture of Glestain knives, this alloy is composed of carbon, chromium, vanadium and molybdenum.
Carbon, as an essential element, plays a crucial role in increasing the blade's hardness, ensuring an efficient, long-lasting cutting edge. The blade achieves a hardness of 59HRC on the Rockwell scale, offering outstanding cutting capabilities and very good edge retention.
Vanadium and molybdenum are also key components in the steel's hardness. Vanadium adds elasticity to the blade, improving its resistance to micro-shocks. Finally, molybdenum and chromium enhance corrosion resistance.
This steel offers high performance, good strength and optimum durability, making it an ideal choice for everyday use. What's more, it's easy to maintain with a whetstone when necessary.
This Japanese knife has undergone Sub Zero hardening to achieve a high-quality cutting edge. This process involves cooling the blade to very low temperatures immediately after the heating phase. This technique stiffens the blade and forms a fine, homogeneous structure. Glestain carries out this operation in 7 stages, requiring both time and precision.
For maximum efficiency, the blade has a convex cutting edge. This configuration enables the blade to penetrate food optimally, ensuring clean, precise cuts.
What's more, the blade is equipped withdimples that prevent food from sticking to the sides during cutting.
The handle of this Japanese kitchen knife is made of stainless steel, guaranteeing durability and strength. Its original design lends character to your Japanese knife, while ensuring optimum sturdiness. A stainless steel bolster balances your knife, ensuring an ideal grip.
Western in shape, this santoku knife fits comfortably in the hands of any cook! It offers an ergonomic grip for perfectly controlled handling, particularly appreciable during prolonged use.
To care for your Japanese knife, wash only by hand with a soft sponge. Once cleaned, dry immediately to remove all traces of moisture and store in a dry place. Do not use the dishwasher or leave it to soak in the sink.
