The Santoku knife is a utility knife that in Japanese means "three virtues", since it can be used for meat, fish, and vegetables. Its tip is sharper than the chef's knife, and its blade length is ideal for chopping even on the kitchen counter, where space is usually narrower. Its light weight makes it comfortable and relaxing even after long hours of use.

Blade that stands out The blade of the Classic Damascus Damascus Steel is made of Damascus stainless steel, renowned for centuries for its sharpness and durability, but also for the impressive appearance of its "water" characteristics, which make each knife literally unique. More specifically, the blade core consists of the innovative Japanese stainless steel VG10 alloy, characteristic for its hardness due to its cobalt content, which is enclosed by separate layers of Damascus steel, thus enhancing the stiffness and durability of the knife. Each knife in the line is sharpened by experienced Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15 ° to receive a sharp knife.

Western-style ergonomic handle The first part of the knife you come in contact with is the handle. The Classic Damascus Damascus Steel handle gives the feel of a European-style grip handle. It is made of Eco-Wood, a material that is highly resistant to continuous and hard use. This unique handle makes the use of the knife extremely comfortable and offers a firm, stable grip and perfect balance.

It is recommended avoiding a dishwasher on any good knife. Hand washing in warm water and quick wiping is enough for any stainless knife. Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Hard steel knives (high Rockwell) such as the Japanese and especially if they are sharpened on one side, it is recommended to sharpen exclusively with stone to achieve the best possible sharpening while protecting the blade of the knife to continue to have the highest possible performance.
