The word "Santoku" translates to "three virtues" and refers to slicing, dicing, and chopping, or meat, fish, and vegetables, depending on who you ask. 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.
AUS-10 stainless steel is great steel as it is easy to maintain and easy to sharpen. It does not achieve the high rockwell hardness of some other Japanese stainless steels, but this makes it less prone to chipping. It’s a great choice for those looking for an easy to maintain knife that will hold its edge well.
Chemical Composition:
C 0.95–1.1% | Si 0.8% | Mn 1.0% | Ni 0.3% | Cr 13.0–14.5% | Mo 0.1–0.3% | V 0.1–0.25%
LOW MAINTENANCE
Stainless steel Japanese knives are made in a process called “Sanmai” or “Forge welding” where two softer layers of stainless steel are laminated around a harder core layer of stainless steel. All three of these layers are rust resistant and therefore are not susceptible to rust or discoloration. The softer outer layers of steel are used to make the knife more durable and flexible while the harder core layer is used to provide better edge retention to the blade.
Tsunehisa seeks to make great knives at affordable prices. Their knives are machine forged, as opposed to being hand forged; however, many of the knife making processes are still done by hand. This combination of machine and human touch ensures the knives have a fantastic fit and finish, high performance capabilities, and extreme consistency. These knives are fantastic for the home cook or the professional looking for great performance, easy maintenance, and beautiful aesthetics.
