The Kanetsugu SAIUN Santoku Knife 170 mm is one of the most distinctive Japanese blades. The Santoku is akin to the European Chef's knife, embodying versatility with a unique design. It boasts a low-tipped and prominently arched spine, which, although flatter than a traditional Chef's knife, excels in chopping, dicing, and slicing vegetables. Don't be deceived by its appearance; the Santoku is equally adept in vegan, vegetarian, and meat-based cuisines, effortlessly cutting through meat, seafood, and cold cuts. Its broad blade is ideal for transferring chopped ingredients directly into pots or pans.
Key Characteristics:
The SAIUN series by Kanetsugu is renowned for its understated yet captivating style. The blade's damascus pattern, comprising 32 layers of steel forged over a VG-10 core, is beloved by Japanese knife enthusiasts. The blade is hardened to 61 HRC using a distinctive "sub-zero treatment," rapidly cooling the blade to -70 degrees Celsius during thermal processing, enhancing both its cutting aggressiveness and edge retention.
A rarely seen finishing touch applied in the SAIUN series is the Hamaguri, or "clam shell edge." This feature rounds the blade's profile, reminiscent of sea shells, enhancing the kitchen knife's strength, reducing brittleness, adopting Japanese cutting techniques, and minimizing foods sticking to the blade.
The stunning handle, crafted from black micarta and adorned with two rivets and a striking red ring, merges Western flair with unparalleled ergonomics for exceptional blade control. This antibacterial, moisture-resistant material is easy to maintain. The metal ring at the handle's end prevents food residue buildup and facilitates cleaning.
