Common Questions:
What is a santoku knife?
A santoku is a Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife, ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping. Its name translates to "three virtues," reflecting its versatility in handling meat, fish, and vegetables.
What does 'Tsuchime' mean?
'Tsuchime' refers to the hammered texture on the blade's surface. This finish not only adds a rustic aesthetic but also helps prevent food from sticking to the blade during cutting.
How should I care for a coreless Damascus blade?
Despite its stainless steel composition, it's advisable to hand wash the knife with mild detergent and dry it immediately to maintain its appearance and performance. Regular honing and occasional sharpening will keep the edge in optimal condition.
Installing a custom handle can be a rewarding endeavor for those familiar with knife assembly. However, if you're inexperienced, it's recommended purchase a custom handle at the same time as the blade so so we can install it for you at no extra cost.
