Santoku Knife, 7″

The Polished Chef Santoku is constructed with a core of VG10 stainless steel. VG10 is a high carbon, stainless steel manufactured by Takefu Special Steel Company. It’s fully stainless and holds an edge well for cutting food. The core is covered in a san-mai style of cladding using a softer stainless steel which receives a very attractive hammered finish. The knife is ground with a deep blade path which exposes the VG10 steel at the edge resulting in a nice hamon-like appearance. Knife comes pre sharpened.
