- EXPERTLY CRAFTED HANDLE: The blade is hand mated to a full tang, triple riveted non-porous fiberglass handle which is exceptionally durable and provides a perfect weight balance.
- SANTOKU KNIFE THAT’S DISTINCTLY DESIGNED: The Sasaki Santoku knife places all the power in your hands with an edge that’s sharpened at a 10°-15° per side, ensuring a razor sharp blade edge. The Santoku blade has a flat edge with a rounded tip, allowing for better control when tackling delicate tasks. It is a versatile tool that cuts easily through meat, fish, and vegetables, and features kullens which allows food to easily slide from the blade as you slice, chop, or dice, becoming a worldwide favorite.
- PROTECTIVE, LOCKING SHEATH: A premium quality locking sheath is provided to protect the blade when it is not in use.
- ULTRA-PREMIUM MATERIALS: Each Sasaki knife is produced utilizing cutting edge breakthrough technology and is precision forged from world famous 67 layered Japanese AUS-10 Steel. This incredibly durable stain and corrosion resistant material delivers incomparable performance. The addition of Molybdenum and Vanadium in AUS-10 steel dramatically increases wear resistance and edge retention.
- EXPERTLY CRAFTED BLADE: Each knife is expertly crafted using a multi-step process. First the blade is heated to over 1900 degrees, and liquid nitrogen cooled to harden the steel to over 62 Rockwell hardness. Each blade is then tempered at 600 degrees F for two hours to reduce brittleness. Takumi knives are particularly notable for their beautiful, yet functional hammered design that creates small air pockets to reduce cutting friction and prevent food from adhering to the blade.
