Product Description

Santoku Knives - Distinctively hand-hammered, the multipurpose Global Sai Santoku Knife precisely slices, cubes and dices vegetables, meats and fish. With a thin ground blade, the Sai santoku knife is engineered in the tradition of authentic Japanese cutlery and perfected to razor-edge sharpness. Handcrafted of triple-layered CROMOVA 18 stainless-steel and 18/8 steel, the acute-edge blade is ice-tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58 degrees.
