Santoku knife KIRITSUKE 18 cm, Dellinger

Product detailed description

This knife is a ruthless kitchen warrior that is ready for all your wishes. The Japanese word "santoku" is roughly translated as "three virtues", which is a testament to the versatility of this knife style and the type of cuts it excels at (cutting, slicing and grinding). The blade is usually shorter than a chef's knife, with a markedly different geometry. The Santoku knife is often claimed to be a fusion between a chef's knife and a nakiri, giving you the benefits of both. The higher facet reduces friction, making slicing more precise. SANTOKU is the perfect companion when working with meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. You will appreciate the unsurpassed properties of the knife, for example, when slicing onions.

As the tip of the blade is modelled according to a Japanese sword, it is also suitable for preparing dishes that require the use of the tip, and for decorative carving. The long blade and Japanese-style 7-edge handle give you the best control when cutting and slicing. Japanese craftsmanship, precision and new technologies make this damascus steel knife unique and inimitable. Zuiun is a special edition that was produced to celebrate Kanetsugu's centennial.

KIRITSUKE / Santoku ZUIUN knife has an ultra-sharp cutting core made of Japanese SPG2 powder steel, which is very well protected against corrosion. Japanese powder steel SPG2 has a long lasting sharpness at R63 +/- 1 Rockwell hardness. The SPG2 Japanese powder steel core is sandwiched between 62 layers of 2 stainless steel damascus steels, which provide exceptional durability and toughness. The perfectly balanced, precisely tapered Japanese-shaped blade with a shimmering damascus pattern minimizes friction when cutting and prevents the material being cut from sticking to the blade. The pattern reminiscent of ripples on the surface of sand dunes in the desert is unique, unrepeatable and will become a symbol of your individuality.

The Japanese-style 7-edge handle provides perfect cutting control and effective support when slicing. Ebony pakka-wood is naturally durable and dimensionally stable due to its high grain. The decorative handle pin is a subtle Asian decorative method. The perfect balance of the knife brings comfort and prevents hand fatigue. Kanetsugu ZUIUN knives will fully satisfy your desire for a precision tool of Japanese origin.
