Santoku translates to “three virtues.” This versatile ZHEN 101-Layer German Damascus Steel 5" Santoku Knife is used to prepare meats, vegetables, and fruits. Because a santoku knife is generally flatter than a chef’s knife it will require a slicing motion and more room to chop.
ZHEN – “achieving utmost perfection.” More than a definition. More than a knife maker. It’s a commitment to quality.
ZHEN 101-Layer German Damascus Steel Knives embody not only this definition but the commitment as well. Each knife blade is 50 layers of forged welded 410 Martensitic Stainless Steel per side, with a core layer of 1.4125 Martensitic Stainless Steel, making a total of 101 layers that finish out to a hardness of HRC60-62. This composition gives the knife blade a hardness and wear resistance that will allow it to remain razor-sharp while in use. The unique pattern of the blade is complemented by the waterproof and bacteria resistant Pakkawood handle enhanced by the subtle beauty of a mosaic pin. The western style blade and ergonomic handle favor either left- or right-handed users. Give the chef in your life – whether it’s you or someone close to you – the gift of quality to achieve perfection in the kitchen.
DON’T chop bone or use this knife on a hard surface like a glass cutting board, tile, and granite. Hand-wash your blades with gentle dish soap, rinse clean and towel dry immediately.
