WA-Santoku Knife 170 mm, Sakai Takayuki VG-10 Zelkova Octagon

Product detailed description

Japanese chef's knife WA Santoku 170 mm

Knives from the series Sakai Takayuki 33 VG-10 Zelkova Octagon are made of 33 layers of stainless steel - damasteel with a core of Japanese VG10 steel. The blades are extremely sharp and the core reaches a hardness of around 60 HRC. It holds sharpness well and gives a light and balanced impression. The handles of these knives are shaped in the traditional octagonal shape of zelkova wood, a Japanese wood that carries on Japanese tradition and history. The bolster (the end of the handle) is made of mahogany wood, which is more durable and stronger. Each knife is hand-ground at an angle of 18 degrees on each side, precisely to ensure maximum sharpness. We highly recommend that you see for yourself the outstanding performance and beauty of these damascus knives.

The knife is suitable for routine cutting of all foods from vegetables and fruit to meat. 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 of Santoku knives is wider than that of other chef's knives and is characterized by a different geometry and a rounder tip. Thanks to this, this knife ensures minimal fluid leakage. Therefore, your dishes will be full of juice and vitamins. The shiny, high-quality steel combined with the Zelkova wood handle makes a perfect pair and the end result is almost perfect. Each knife is hand sharpened and achieves a high sharpness. The Kengata Santoku in Damasteel steel with a VG10 core has a perfectly balanced blade with a Tsuchime finish. The surface not only gives the knife a great look, but also prevents the cut material from sticking to the blade.

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