The Katana Saya Santoku Knife 18cm from the Eastern Pakkawood range is a high-performance knife designed for versatility in the kitchen. Santoku, which translates to "three ways" in Japanese, refers to a knife that excels in three key cutting functions: slicing, dicing, and chopping. The 18cm version of this knife offers an ideal size for those looking for a smaller yet highly efficient all-purpose tool. Whether you're preparing vegetables, meat, or fish, the Santoku knife’s fluted blade design ensures smooth cuts by preventing food from sticking to the blade, making food prep quicker and more efficient. The blade of the Katana Saya Santoku Knife is constructed with 67 layers of VG-10 Damascus steel, known for its outstanding durability and sharpness. The VG-10 core steel is combined with Damascus cladding to enhance the knife's strength while providing a beautiful layered pattern on the blade. With a Rockwell hardness of 60+, the blade retains its sharp edge longer and resists wear, ensuring that it will maintain its cutting power through numerous kitchen tasks.

The high carbon content in the steel also improves the blade’s toughness, allowing it to handle heavy-duty cutting tasks with ease. The Santoku knife is equipped with a deep black Pakkawood handle, which offers both durability and comfort during use. Pakkawood is a robust material known for its resistance to moisture and wear, making it an excellent choice for kitchen tools. The handle's ergonomic design ensures a secure, comfortable grip, giving you control and precision while working with the knife. This knife comes in an attractive gift box, complete with a wooden ‘Saya’ sheath, offering protection for the blade when not in use. The ‘Saya’ sheath also protects users from the knife's sharp edge, ensuring safe storage.
