The Santoku is the traditional Japanese general-purpose knife, equivalent to a chef's knife. It is a versatile knife as it can be used to cut fish, meat, and vegetables.
It features indentations that ensure less food sticking to the blade.
The Shoso blade is made of 5CR15MoV stainless steel with a hardness of 56 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good), which guarantees a high and uniform level of hardness as well as long-lasting cutting performance. Its curved sharpening gives the knives a stable edge, ideal for precise cuts. The matte finish highlights the knife's unique elegance.
The length of the blade is 16.5 cm.
The matte handle made of 18-8 stainless steel is particularly durable and ensures a professional grip thanks to its symmetrical elliptical shape. The integrated diamond pattern provides a secure and comfortable grip during cutting.
The length of the handle is 13 cm.
It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.
Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife immediately (with a mild detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you should wash the knife immediately after use.
For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from its edge, using a cloth or towel.
It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.
No matter how sharp a knife is initially, after some use it needs sharpening, something that you can achieve with a sharpener, sharpening stone, or strop.
You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a piece of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut through a piece of paper. On the other hand, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be dull.
It is also advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to repair any damage to the blade's edge and to maintain sharpness.

After one season and daily use, it is perfect for me. The only thing you need to see is if it fits well in your hand because it is lightweight.
It supposedly belongs to the category of Chinese chef's knives. In reality, it is somewhere between a Chinese vegetable cleaver and a Japanese nakiri. It is one of the best knives in this price range for vegetables, much better than even chef knives at the same price for this purpose, and the reason is the thickness of its blade at 1.4 millimeters.
Better for vegetables than more expensive nakiri knives, even those made of steel and costing one and a half times the price. Excellent edge, relatively easy to sharpen with the appropriate stones, lightweight and balanced for a pinch grip. It is dangerous if you don't always use the correct technique and if you can't handle such light knives. You can't rely on the weight of the knife to compensate for your inadequate technique.
Attention, it is not a cleaver for cutting bones with such a blade thickness, you will ruin it, and if you don't have the appropriate sharpening stones, it will be useless afterwards.
I have also bought better ones like the Wüsthof knife for 60€, far better.
I wish I never wasted money on such a price.
Of course, it cannot be compared to Global knives, it's a different experience.
I do not recommend it, there are much better knives for less money.
A little research is needed for me, among the best knives I have tried are the Global and Wüsthof ones!
