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 Tojiro's Flash blade is made of Damascus stainless steel, renowned for centuries for its sharpness and durability, as well as for its impressive water-like appearance, which makes each knife literally unique. Specifically, the core of the blade is made of the innovative Japanese VG10 stainless steel alloy, characteristic for its hardness thanks to its cobalt, which is enclosed in separate Damascus layers, thus enhancing its toughness and durability. Each knife is sharpened by experienced Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15 ° to receive a sharp knife.

Ergonomic handle from Micarta The first part of the knife you come in contact with is the handle. The handle of the Flash gives a comfortable feel thanks to its wavy ergonomic design. It is made of Micarta, an alloy construction material extremely durable in hard use, especially used in the manufacturing of reliable and durable professional knives. This unique handle makes the use of the knife extremely easy and offers a comfortable, firm grip as well as stability. The stainless steel layers mounted on top of its unique wavy handle give even more durability and better texture when in contact with your hand. The ergonomic handle design also allows you to hold the knife in a variety of ways, depending on your preference. The weight is properly distributed giving the knife a good balance providing the most efficient usability and is directed exactly as you wish using the knife.

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.
