The versatile santoku knife makes a variety of cuts easy! Whether you're mincing meat, slicing vegetables or chopping herbs, you'll be able to do it with ease! Thanks to the shape of its blade, the santoku is ideal for making a rocking motion when cutting.
Glestain Home Series knives have been specifically designed to meet the needs of home cooks! These Japanese knives stand out for their efficiency and ergonomic handles, offering optimum cutting performance and great comfort, saving time in the kitchen.
In 1971, engineer Akira Honma created the Glestain knife brand with the aim of combining science and cutting-edge technology to achieve remarkable performance. From the outset, Glestain adopted a direct approach, contacting 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 personally passes on its manufacturing techniques and innovations to carefully selected craftsmen, consolidating the reputation of Glestain knives among kitchen professionals.
The blade of this santoku knife is made from ACUTO440 stainless steel, an alloy renowned for its resistance to corrosion and frequently used in the manufacture of Glestain knives. This alloy, composed of carbon, chromium, vanadium and molybdenum, ensures high-quality performance.
Carbon, a key element, plays an essential role in increasing the blade's hardness, guaranteeing an efficient, long-lasting cutting edge. With a hardness of up to 59HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade offers outstanding cutting capabilities and good edge retention.
Vanadium and molybdenum also contribute to the steel's hardness. Vanadium lends elasticity to the blade, improving its resistance to micro-shocks. Molybdenum and chromium also enhance oxidation resistance.
This steel offers high performance, appreciable 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 a Sub Zero tempering process to obtain a quality cutting edge. This process consists of cooling the blade to very low temperatures immediately after the heating phase, thereby stiffening it and creating a fine, uniform 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, guaranteeing clean, precise cuts.
What's more, the blade'sdimples prevent food from sticking to the sides during cutting.
The handle of this Japanese knife is made of stainless steel, guaranteeing durability and sturdiness. Its original design lends character to your Japanese knife, while ensuring optimal sturdiness. A stainless steel bolster enhances the balance of your knife, ensuring an ideal grip.
With its Western shape, this santoku knife fits comfortably in cooks' hands! It offers an ergonomic grip for perfectly controlled handling, particularly appreciable during prolonged use.
To care for your honeycomb 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 put in the dishwasher or leave to soak in the sink.
