Product detailed description
Japanese Santoku chef's knife from Kanetsune KC-100 series
Very sharp Japanese Santoku knife from Kanetsune KC-100 series. The SANTOKU kitchen 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 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. The 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. The sharpness of the blade ensures minimal liquid leakage and your food will be full of juices and vitamins.
The Kanetsune KC-100 knife series combines perfect functionality, ergonomics and a unique Japanese design sense. Each knife is hand-ground and achieves exceptional to extreme sharpness with a core hardness of 60-62 HRC. It is a masterpiece that comes from the "city of knives" Seki-City in Japan. The use of VG-10 damascus steel and modern technology guarantees the highest possible quality among commercially produced knives. The very hard core of Japanese VG-10 steel is covered on each side by 16 layers of two stainless steels of different hardness. The final etching of the surface of the knife creates a visible structure of the individual layers, which symbolizes the stormy sea. The classic Western Plywood handle is connected to the blade with 3 rivets - ensuring perfect strength and giving you the best control when cutting and slicing.

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.
