Santoku means \"three virtues,\" and you'll immediately notice why: the knife is designed for vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish. Its thin, 1.8 mm blade cuts precisely without crushing food, preserving flavor and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this knife special is the combination of traditional Japanese techniques and Western robustness. The blade is forged from ultra-sharp Japanese 440C high-carbon stainless steel and features a hammered (Tsuchime) pattern that creates air pockets between the blade and the food. This prevents food from sticking to the blade, allowing for smoother and more efficient cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe handle is made of black pakkawood with a hidden full tang that extends to the butt of the handle. This gives the knife extra durability and perfect balance during use. Each knife comes with a bamboo saya (sheath) and a bamboo box, ideal for safe storage and neat presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor those who want results: the KOTAI Santoku, according to specifications, stays sharp up to 10 times longer than many other knives thanks to the high carbon content in 440C. The HRC hardness of approximately 60 (+\/-1) ensures excellent edge retention without the blade becoming too brittle. And because it contains stainless steel, the knife resists corrosion with normal use and maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePractical Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUltra-sharp blade for precise cuts without crushing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTsuchime hammered pattern reduces sticking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHidden full tang for durability and balance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBamboo saya and bamboo box included for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cb\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eModel: Santoku knife\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBlade length: 180 mm (18 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: 1.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBlade material: Japanese 440C high-carbon stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandle: black pakkawood\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePattern: Tsuchime (hammered)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHRC hardness: 60 +\/- 1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRust-resistant: yes (corrosion-resistant)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight (product info): 189 g\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDimensions: width 7.9 cm, height 5.2 cm, length 33.7 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePackaging \/ product materials: wood, stainless steel, bamboo, steel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColor variants: black, silver, brown, white\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrand: KOTAI kitchen\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSKU: KT-SG-003\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMade in: CN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis knife is suitable for anyone looking for a professional-looking kitchen knife that can handle many tasks and stays sharp for a long time.
