Echizen Santoku V Silver No. 1 Chromax

Product description

This Santoku knife was made in the Echizen area (Echizen city, Fukui prefecture), which is known for its long tradition of producing high-quality blades. It is equipped with a blade made of three-layer Chromax steel, developed by Takefu Special Steel. The core of the knife is made of V Silver No. 1 - a semi-stainless steel with high sharpness and excellent corrosion resistance, which is additionally covered with SU410S steel. The blade thus retains its sharpness for a long time, while being less susceptible to corrosion than traditional carbon steels.

The black plywood handle is equipped with a so-called ferrule - a ring that prevents dirt from settling at the point where the blade and handle meet, ensuring more hygienic use.

This Santoku is the perfect choice for everyday kitchen work, whether you're slicing meat, vegetables or fish.
