Japanese Style Knife
Made in China
Originating from Japan, the term "Santoku" translates to "three virtues" or "three uses," highlighting its proficiency in slicing, dicing, and mincing. With a shorter, wide blade and straight edge, the Santoku knife excels in precise and controlled cutting. Its flat spine gently curves down to the tip, facilitating a seamless rocking motion during chopping. The 18cm blade length accommodates various cutting tasks, and the design is particularly adept at handling vegetables, fruits, and boneless meats. The straight edge enhances precision, ensuring consistently clean and uniform slices.
Building upon our expertise in making traditional VG-10 Damascus steel blades, ‘Flame’ embodies a new level of quality and opulence. Rainbow Damascus steel is a captivating variation of traditional Damascus steel, defined by its swirling patterns and multi-coloured finish. Developed from traditional Japanese techniques, our blades come alive with a mesmeric display of copper and brass folded through the steel, creating a shimmering ripple reminiscent of flickering flames and burning embers. Beyond its visual allure, Rainbow Damascus Steel possesses exceptional performance. The VG-10 Steel core possesses supreme strength and durability expected from Katana Saya.
Razor sharp edges are sharpened to a 15° angle, attaining a Rockwell Hardness of 60-61 - A rating that stands up against any professional knife. The blades are forged using time-honoured techniques, layering and folding copper and brass between the steel. The result is a knife of unparalleled craftsmanship, remarkable sharpness, excellent edge retention, and resistance to corrosion. The natural olivewood handles unite the warm tones prevailing through the veins of the steel. The octagonal shape draws inspiration from traditional Japanese handles. The lightweight but durable shape has become a common favourite amongst professional chefs.
Whether you're an expert chef or a home kitchen enthusiast, this Santoku knife is an essential addition to your cooking tools.
