With a length of 17 centimeters, the blade of this santoku knife has two sharp edges that meet in a ‘V’ shape, making it as comfortable to use for left-handed people as it is for right-handed people. Its 30 ° angle slope allows for easy penetration of any food item. The blade is made of carbon enriched (0.8%) steel, as well as molybdenum and vanadium. This composition makes the blade have great corrosion and stroke resistance.

Furthermore, the handle, besides contributing to the beautiful look of the knife, is an important feature that makes this knife perfect for professional use.
