Description
Description:
The all-rounder (santoku) knife is the most used knife in the Japanese kitchen. The all-purpose design allows it to be used with vegetables and meat by both left-handed and right-handed cooks in the kitchen. Its no-slip laminated wood handle and hand-hammered blade designed reduces drag to make food less likely to stick when cutting. Made from three layers of steel where the exterior layer is forged from hard-to-rust steel then an inner core of Molybdenum Vanadium steel that adds to the strength of the knife so it keeps its sharp edge longer.
