santoku knife 17cm Kutoyama damas Azur

A kitchen knife for many cuts

The santoku knife is a versatile knife for all your cutting needs! Like a chef's knife, you can slice your vegetables, mince your meat or chop your herbs. Just be careful not to use it on hard foods such as squash or bones.

This santoku knife features a damascened blade with a rigid steel core surrounded by 66 layers of softer stainless steel. Your blade has been polished to a mirror-like effect, and also features distinctive damask patterns.

The core of this blade is made of VG10 steel, an alloy that contains around 1% carbon, the element that increases hardness. As a result, the blade's hardness reaches 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. VG10 steel is also enriched with chromium and molybdenum.

With this hardness, the edge can be maintained with a Sharpening stone or, more regularly, with a Sharpening steel for daily sharpening.

A sturdy resin handle

The handle of this kitchen knife is made of blue resin, a durable and sturdy material. The blue color is combined with a light wood finish on the bottom of the handle. To add a touch of color, a yellow and black ring is added between the bolster and the handle. The bolster is made of stainless steel, as is the base.

The handle is almost oval in shape, to suit the hands of all cooks, whether left- or right-handed. It offers a comfortable grip, even during prolonged use.

This stainless steel knife is made in China and comes in a box for added protection.

To care for your Damascus knife, you should wash it exclusively by hand. Once cleaned, wipe dry immediately and store in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or leave to soak in the sink.
