They feature a slightly thicker blade with nice geometry meaning while they've got a solid feel in the hand, they still perform well, and leave plenty of room on the bevels to fine tune them to your taste. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese knives have a food safe lacquer over the bevel to keep it from rusting.

The name highlights the extreme versatility of the shape, which is why we recommend it most to home cooks. Santokus are typically in the 165 mm (6.5 inch) to 180 mm (8 inch) length range. They generally have a gentle curve that sweeps up toward the tip, so they can easily be used with an up and down chopping motion or a rocking motion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hEZOgRuZ8VQ\" title=\"How to Maintain an Iron Clad Knife!\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Iron Clad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Knife is made from 3 layers of material; A layer of iron on each side protecting a layer of carbon steel at the core, in a process referred to as Sanmai or forge welding.
