Care Instruction

Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.

Profile: Santoku

The Santoku knife, embodying the meaning "three uses," is a cornerstone in Japanese kitchens, adept at slicing, dicing, and mincing. Esteemed for its versatility, it features a blade length typically between 15cm and 20cm (6 to 8 inches), catering to a wide array of culinary tasks. Distinguished by its less pointy tip compared to the Gyuto, the Santoku boasts a unique profile that contributes to its functionality and popularity. Its design is tailored to provide ease and efficiency in preparation, also because of its less aggressive prrofile, making it a preferred choice for home cooks.

Steel: AUS-8
AUS-8, often just called "molybdenum vanadium steel," is a Japanese stainless steel praised for its affordability, ease of sharpening, and excellent corrosion resistance. It's recommended for less experienced users due to its balanced properties. With added molybdenum and vanadium, AUS-8 offers enhanced strength, hardness, and durability, positioning it as an upper medium quality steel. It's comparable to 440 steel but stands out with better hardness and corrosion resistance. A proper cryogenic treatment further improves its edge retention and toughness, making AUS-8 a cost-effective choice for knife makers and users looking for quality and performance.
