* Our knives are hand-crafted with natural materials like timber, small variation to size and colour may occur. The black finish may change over time due to friction and scratching, both knives are high carbon and will change colour (patina) in use.
* Non stainless steel knives require a small amount of care to prevent surface rust. They are however, sharper and easier to sharpen.
Japanese Knife | Santoku (Cooks Knife)
The Santoku, or cooks knife, is a versatile kitchen knife widely used throughout the world. It is one of the better starting points into Japanese knives. Like it's larger cousin, the Gyuto, this is your go-to knife for any and all tasks within the kitchen. Generally Santoku knives are smaller in size than Gyuto, making them versatile in smaller home kitchens or for cooks with fledgling knife skills. Both styles of knife are multi-tasking machines that can be used for any and all cooking preparation tasks. As is the case with most Japanese kitchen knives, the Santoku is thinner & lighter than other western chef knives, they are normally made from harder steel which can hold a sharper edge.
