Suncraft SENZO TWISTED OCTAGON Santoku Kitchen Knife 167 mm TO-04
The Santoku is a multi-functional Japanese-style knife, equivalent to the popular chef's knife in the West. Its name means "three virtues". There's a reason for this – the knife is perfect for slicing meat, fish, and vegetables.
The distinctive handle shape of the SENZO TWISTED OCTAGON series products was inspired by the octagonal figure, which is important in Japanese culture. For user comfort and better grip, the octagonal knife handle is additionally slightly twisted. The blades of Suncraft SENZO TWISTED OCTAGON series knives are made from 33 layers of stainless steel, known as Damascus steel*, reinforced with VG-10 steel **. This composition is extremely durable, and the blade itself is resistant to wear and dulling. A close-up reveals a subtle, wavy pattern reminiscent of samurai swords. The Japanese design is complemented by a handle made of white Pakkawood *** and a red ring at the base of the blade. The series includes: two sizes of chef's knife, a slicing knife, a utility knife, Santoku, and Sashimi knives.
* Damascus steel – modern so-called Damascus steel consists of super-thin stainless steel sheets layered on top of each other, where the middle 25% of the sheets are called the core, and the remaining 75% consist of sheets of different hardness – alternating layers of soft and hard steel. This creates a "wavy" effect on the knife's surface.
**VG-10 steel, this type of steel was considered the best for kitchen knife manufacturing. Chefs appreciate both the beautiful design of VG-10 knives and their exceptional durability. VG-10 is a high-hardness material, with a value of HRC 60 on the HRC scale. For this reason, knives made from it are extremely sharp and highly resistant to abrasion.
***Pakkawood – this is laminated birch or maple wood, impregnated with resin. It is highly resistant to heat and moisture and was specifically developed for knife handles.
