Product Overview

Santoku means Three Virtues and the knife gets its name for the three strengths it demonstrates in the kitchen cutting vegetables, thin-boned meats, and fish. Some chefs reach for their Santoku as readily as they reach for their chef s knife. Calling to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan, Shun Premier offers the grace and beauty of hand-forged knives of old. Every blade is made of VG10 steel, clad with 32 layers of stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral stability and incredible precision. Where the two steels meet, a wavy line called a hamon is formed similar to the line formed when samurai swords are tempered using a traditional clay-baking technique. The striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) acts similar to a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag and quickly releasing food from the blade.
