The Katana Saya Flame Olivewood 18cm Santoku Knife embodies the perfect balance of cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship. Originating from Japan, the Santoku knife is revered for its versatility and precision. The term "Santoku," meaning "three virtues" or "three uses," reflects the knife's ability to handle slicing, dicing, and mincing with ease. Its wide, shorter blade and straight edge make it particularly adept at cutting vegetables, fruits, and boneless meats. The flat spine and gentle curve to the tip allow for a seamless rocking motion during chopping, providing smooth and controlled cuts.

This Santoku knife is crafted using VG-10 core steel, a high-performance material known for its strength, durability, and excellent edge retention. The knife features a Rainbow Damascus finish, a striking variation of traditional Damascus steel, with swirling patterns of copper and brass folded through the blade. These captivating patterns evoke the flickering of flames or burning embers, creating a beautiful and dynamic effect. The rainbow hues are not just for aesthetics; the Damascus steel also enhances the knife’s performance by providing a tougher, sharper blade.

The knife’s edge is honed to a precise 15° angle, ensuring razor-sharp precision with every cut. With a Rockwell Hardness of 60-61, this knife delivers outstanding strength and sharpness, standing up to the demands of both professional chefs and home cooks alike. The VG-10 steel core is surrounded by layers of copper and brass, offering enhanced resistance to corrosion and long-lasting performance.

The natural olivewood octagonal handle is both functional and visually striking. The warm tones of the wood beautifully complement the shimmering patterns of the Damascus steel, creating a harmonious blend of aesthetics and practicality. The octagonal shape of the handle, inspired by traditional Japanese knife handles, ensures an ergonomic and secure grip, making it comfortable to use for extended periods.

Each knife in the Katana Saya Flame Olivewood Range is a true work of art, offering exceptional performance and an unrivaled level of craftsmanship. The Santoku knife is packaged in a stylish wooden gift box, complete with a wooden saya (sheath) for safe storage and protection. This knife is not only a must-have tool for any kitchen but also a collector’s piece, combining traditional Japanese techniques with modern luxury and design. Whether you're an expert chef or a home kitchen enthusiast, the Katana Saya Flame Olivewood 18cm Santoku Knife is an essential addition to your culinary collection.
