The Takumi Line Santoku knife with a blade length of 18 cm is the ideal tool for those who love precise and quick slicing of vegetables, fruit or meat.

The Santoku knife is a traditional Japanese kitchen knife that is very popular for its versatility. The name "santoku" means "three virtues" or "three uses", referring to its ability to effectively slice, chop and shred foods such as vegetables, meat and fish. The depressions on the blade, also known as granton edges or hollow cutouts, are designed to reduce the friction surface between the knife and the food being cut. These dimples help prevent thin slices of food, such as potatoes or tomatoes, from sticking to the blade during slicing. The result is more efficient slicing and an improved overall knife experience. These features make the santoku knife a great tool for professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts alike.

To keep the knife's blade sharp for as long as possible, we recommend washing it by hand with cold water and avoiding the dishwasher. Keep the wooden handle in perfect condition by regularly treating it with olive or food-grade mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking.
