Santoku knives are often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife for home cooks, and it is more commonly found in Japanese households than Gyuto knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Santoku generally has a slightly taller blade than a similarly sized Gyuto or Petty knife. This provides a little more clearance for the knuckles of your knife hand when cutting directly above a cutting board, and also provides a good surface for the knuckles of your free hand to guide the blade during ‘tap chopping’, ‘push cutting' and ‘pull cutting'. However, it also makes the Santoku slightly less agile than narrower knives. A distinct characteristic of the Santoku is the curved Kamagata (Literally, “sickle-shaped”) tip, which forms a wider angle than the tip of a Gyuto or Petty knife. Relatively speaking, this results in a tip which is slightly less prone to breaking, but is also less nimble and precise. The Santoku can also cut and slice very efficiently with the blade edge kept parallel with to the cutting board, especially if the downward cutting motion is accompanied by either a small push or pull movement, which helps to initiate the cut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\" id=\"Details-386f7e4a-6127-4141-928b-9cb4614ee18c-template--20892514287955__main-product\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eFeautures\u003cspan\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 14 8\" height=\"8\" width=\"14\"\u003e\u003cpath stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-width=\"1.3\" stroke=\"var(--color-heading)\" d=\"M13 6.81818L7 0.818176L1 6.81818\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ProductAccordion-386f7e4a-6127-4141-928b-9cb4614ee18c-template--20892514287955__main-product\" class=\"collapsible__content accordion__content rte\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIttetsu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVG-10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-62HRC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMahogany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand-wash stainless steel knives immediately after use with warm soapy water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Dry thoroughly with a towel right away to prevent water spots and corrosion — do not air dry.

This comfortable design is a fantastic multipurpose chopper. The Santoku has quickly become the new favorite for chefs in the West. For chopping, there are few knives that work better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHiragatake chef's knives, hand forged in Sanjo, are terrific performers. The stainless steel blade is forged using the san mai technique - a hard steel forms the cutting edge and is sandwiched between softer layers of steel. This results in a strong knife with very long edge holding. The core steel is SLD, an incredibly high performing stainless steel. It was heat treated to Hrc 64 (very hard!) This is clad with soft stainless steel sides.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hand hammered surface assists food to fall away rather than sticking to the side of the knife while chopping. The blade has a nice distal taper - beginning with a strong, thick spine where the blade moves out of the handle and diving into a thin, high performance blade as it moves toward the tip. This ensures optimal balance, control, and cutting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 'D' shape handle fits comfortably and securely in the hand and is traditionally used by a right-handed user, though many left-handed users find this handle to be equally comfortable. It is formed from macassar ebony with a pakkawood ferrule. This wood holds up extremely well in the harsh environment of the kitchen. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"tab\" class=\"panel-heading\"\u003e\n\u003ch4

At the age of 18, he began making knives under the strict supervision of his master \u0026amp; father, Harukichi Saji, the second-generation smith. At the age of 30, his master informed him that there was nothing more he could teach him and that he would be allowed to make his own knives and acknowledged him as the third-generation smith.
