The Santoku knife completes the cook's kit. It is the handy and versatile Japanese chef's knife. It is used for cutting, slicing, mincing, chopping meats and fish, fruits and vegetables. The dimples act as air cushions preventing food from sticking. The back of the blade is rounded for optimal cutting comfort. The blade edge is leather-polished for a razor-sharp edge. Authentic and natural, the handle is crafted from ash wood. The traditional design meets demanding culinary uses that require performance and cutting precision, comfort in hand for a controlled gesture, robustness, and ease of maintenance. Dimensions: the handle measures 13 cm with a 17 cm blade. Care advice: do not put in the dishwasher and immediately wipe your knife after rinsing under water.
