In fact, a santoku knife is the Japanese version of the Western chef knife, but the difference is in its round blade that makes it even better for cutting vegetables.

The impressive cutting performance of this knife is guaranteed by its blade of 18 centimeters that was built from 32 layers of steel plus a VGMAX steel core. This overposition of steel layers gives a beautiful Damascus effect to your knife. Furthermore, the blade has an incredibly high hardness rating in the Rockwell scale : 61 HRC. And last but not least, the convex shaped cutting edge was sharpened by hand to make sure that the blade stays sharp for a long period of time.

Furthermore, the handle is another top-quality feature that contributes to the beauty of this knife. It is made of pakka, which is a material formed from the combination of wood and resin that is known for being super durable and ultra hygienic. Furthermore, the handle has a typical Japanese construction with D-shaped design that adapts perfectly to your hand.
