KC-462 - Santoku Kanetsune Japanese knife Zen-Bokashi series

Santoku knife with Kanetsune inscription on the blade from the "Zen-Bokashi" series

The SANTOKU: three virtues: slicing, chopping, mincing
This is the best-selling model among Japanese knives, as its functions are truly versatile: it easily cuts all types of meat, fish, vegetables, and even the most fragile fruits such as strawberries.
Its straight blade can be dimpled, which reduces resistance when cutting and prevents food from sticking to the blade (fatty fish for example)
Usual length of the blade: 14 to 18 cm - symmetrical blade.
The core is made of #2 blue steel (non-stainless carbon steel) covered with 11 layers of damascus. 
Hardness 61-62HRC
Its 16.5 cm coated blade cuts like a razor blade with an ultra smooth edge
The handle is made of red sandalwood in a D-shape with a black Pakka bolster.
It offers an excellent grip and a perfect hold. 

A superb, high quality and very durable knife made by professional Japanese cutlers.
