The fine-edge santoku—Japanese for 'three virtues'—excels at three cutting techniques: mincing, slicing and dicing vegetables and aromatics. How it's made: The blade core made of MicroCarbide MC63 powder steel is surrounded by 100 layers of two different types of steel with different levels of hardness. The CRYODUR® blade is hardened using a specially developed ice-hardening process at -196°C that guarantees extreme hardness of 63 Rockwell and a lasting sharp blade. A special blade treatment alters the surface structure of each layer, resulting in its individual floral damascus pattern. A traditional Japanese Honbazuke honing gives every blade its incomparable sharpness.Additional features: Each handle made of top-quality Karelian (Masur) birch is also unique, with the structure of the wood handle reflected through the interplay of lines and stripes. The warmth of the natural wood contrasts nicely with the steel blade. A mosaic pin finishes off the sophisticated look.Sizing information: 16.75" x 3" x 1"; 7" blade; 0.8 lb.
