17cm Kutoyama damascus honeycombsantoku knife

A santoku knife for all your cutting needs

This santoku knife features a handle made from wood and resin, both durable and sturdy materials. The blend of the two materials creates an original honeycomb pattern.

The handle is complemented by a stainless steel bolster and base, and a red acrylic ring to add a touch of color.

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

This kitchen knife features a damascened blade with a rigid steel core surrounded by 66 layers of stainless steel. The blade is polished to a mirror finish and features a damask pattern.

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

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

This stainless steel knife is made in China and presented in a gift box.

The santoku knife is a versatile model, just like a chef's knife! It can be used to make a wide range of cuts, such as slicing vegetables, mincing meat or chopping herbs. Just be careful not to use it on hard foods such as squash or bones.

To care for your Kutoyama knife, wash it exclusively by hand, dry it immediately and store it in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher, nor leave to soak in the sink.
