Santoku Knife
Santoku, which means ‘three virtues’ in Japanese, is an all-purpose knife with a taller blade profile than a gyutou. Its three virtues are the knife’s ability to cut fish, meat and vegetables. Santoku have a flatter ‘belly’ than gyutou and can be used comfortable with an up and down chopping motion rather than a ‘rocking’ type cut.
CBC knives are made from 67 layer hammered damascus steel.
- 10cr high carbon super steel core
- 15 degree bevel (double sided)
- Full tang for balance and strength
- 60-62 HRC hardness
Each knife has an ebony wood handle with brass inlay for left or right grip. The handles are made with natural wood and each will have a unique color and grain pattern.
Damascus Type is a labor-intensive forging process in which multiple layers of two or more types of steel are repeatedly folded. This results in a more brittle core, and can be honed to a significantly sharper and harder edge.
