Product detailed description
Santoku chef's knife from the Suncraft SENZO Professional SG2 series
Santoku is a ruthless kitchen warrior that is ready for all your wishes. The Japanese word "santoku" is roughly translated as "three virtues", which is indicative of 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 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 sharpness of the blade ensures minimal liquid leakage and your food will be full of juices and vitamins.

The core of the knife is made of SG2 (super gold 2) steel, also known as R2 or SRS-2, which was developed in Japan. This steel belongs to the so-called powder steels, which means that it is made from finely ground iron and carbon powder. SG2 is considered one of the best knife steels in the world. SG2 steel is known for its excellent combination of hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It contains approximately 1.3% carbon, which gives it high hardness while maintaining sufficient flexibility. SG2 steel is alloyed with additives such as chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, which contribute to its improved performance. Knives made from SG2 steel are usually hand forged and have an excellent edge. Thanks to the high hardness of the steel, it is possible to achieve long-lasting sharpness retention, which is important for everyday use of the knife. This steel is also well resistant to corrosion, which means that SG2 knives are easy to maintain and resistant to the effects of moisture. SG2 Japanese steel is popular among professional chefs. Its high quality, performance and aesthetic value make it an attractive choice for those who appreciate quality knives. Knives made from SG2 steel are usually more expensive due to the use of this high quality steel and often hand crafted. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel is used on both sides of the blade. The result is a beautiful wave pattern(hamon) on the blade, similar to that of a Japanese samurai sword.
The western handle is made of Pakka-wood. It is always meticulously hand-polished, ergonomically shaped and designed for excellent hand control. This knife is suitable for right and left hand use. The mosaic pin in the centre of the handle has a Japanese feel and is a perfect design element.

Sharpening a kitchen knife
We recommend the use of diamond and water grinding stones for the knife edge. If you are not 100% sure of 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 a 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.
