This blade is forged from 9cr18mov steel, a high carbon stainless steel known for taking a wicked edge as well as its corrosion resistance. These knives sport a classic Japanese wa handle that puts most of the knife’s weight in the blade, allowing the knife to do more of the work. 3-layer full-body lamination with a hammer finish.
From Knifewear: “Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The three virtues are meat, fish and vegetables, or slicing, dicing and mincing depending on your interpretation. This means that the Santoku is an all-around knife, suitable for the amateur home cook and the professional chef alike. The height means good clearance for big hands, while the relatively short blade can be wielded by anyone.”
