Tetsuhiro KD Santoku 170 mm Kitchen Knife

Santoku is a very characteristic Japanese kitchen knife. Its distinctive low-set tip, strongly curved spine, and flat blade facilitate chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables. However, no one should be misled by the appearance of this knife. Santoku is equally used in vegan or vegetarian cuisine, as well as for cutting meat, sausages, or fish. It is an exceptionally versatile blade, and its wide profile allows for directly transferring chopped ingredients to a pot or pan.

The high-quality VG-10 steel blade has been hardened to 61 HRC, providing immense hardness and impeccable sharpness.
