A Santoku is used as a general-purpose kitchen knife originating in Japan. “Santoku” in Japanese means knife “Three Virtues” as this knife is a true all rounder: vegetables, meat, fish, etc… The blade was cryo treated in liquid nitrogen to fully optimise the crystal structure to 62/63 HRC. This is much harder than regular knives so this knife should be treated as a high precision tool and not as a bone chopper.
I’m excited and honoured to be selected for the DAMASTEEL INVITATIONAL August 29, 2020. This event will be attended by world class knife makers that will show their unique culinary knives. I could use your support on this one. If you vote you get a chance to win a beautiful Damasteel® Chef knife from german WMF!
