DM.0727 Kai Shun Damascus santoku japanese knife

14cm santoku knife from the Kai Shun Damascus range

A traditional Japanese knife that has been produced in Seki, Japan, for centuries in the same shape. 
Three virtues: slicing, chopping, mincing
In Japanese, the term 'santoku' literally means 'three good things' in relation to the tasks usually carried out in the kitchen: slicing, chopping and mincing.
This is the best-selling model among Japanese knives, as its functions are truly versatile: it easily cuts all meats, fish, vegetables, and even the most fragile fruits such as strawberries.

Forged from a core of VG 10 steel with a hardness of 61 HRC surrounded by 32 layers of damascus steel, the blade offers great strength, impeccable cutting performance and, above all, an incredibly long cutting life.
This cutting resistance - achieved by a new three-stage slow-speed sharpening process specific to Kai - considerably reduces the friction between the blade and the product and allows for better cutting of food
The slim handle, made of durable Pakka wood, is presented in the traditional Japanese chestnut shape. The high-quality resins that nourish the wood make the material particularly robust and resistant to moisture. The typical chestnut shape ensures a comfortable and firm grip when cutting, thanks to the slight ridge on the right side. The continuous silk guarantees stability and balance.
