Product detailed description

Japanese meat knife KIRITSUKE/Santoku 180 mm series ZUIUN

Robust, very sharp Japanese knife KIRITSUKE/Santoku 180 mm made of fast-cutting powder steel SPG2 with impressive design and highest quality. This knife is a ruthless kitchen warrior that is ready for all your wishes. The Japanese word "santoku" roughly translates to "three virtues", which is a testament to the versatility of this knife. The blade is usually shorter than a chef's knife with a significantly 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. As the tip of the blade is modelled on a Japanese sword, it is also suitable for preparing dishes that require the use of the tip and also for decorative carving. Japanese craftsmanship, precision and new technologies make this damascus steel knife unique and inimitable.

Sharpness: hamaguriha (convex edge) The excellent powdered steel SPG2 is ground into a"hamaguriba" shape, just like Japanese swords. This ensures perfect sharpness and durability of the blade.

Heat treatment: the Sub-Zero process - special cooling of the blade to temperatures of -70 °C or lower, providing high hardness and toughness.

We recommend buying a sheath or protective cap for the knife.

Recommendations and maintenance

Sharpening a kitchen knife

we recommend the use of diamond and water grinding stones for the knife edge. If you are not 100% confident in your skills and abilities, please contact us. We will sharpen your knives individually according to your wishes. We also regularly organize knife sharpening courses. Alternatively, look for a professional grinder in your area. Damage that could result from unprofessional grinding is irreversible.

Cleaning the kitchen knife:

Particles attached to the blade surface from aggressive substances can begin to corrode and form rust-like stains on the blade surface. However, it's not the blade that rusts, it's the attached particles. For example, baking soda is commonly used for removal, which when soaked forms a "slurry" and an old cork.
