Benefits

A blade of 45 layers of hammered Damascus steel: A special stainless steel is inserted into 45 layers of hammered Damascus steel. The layered steel gives the blade a rippled pattern that shows along its face, as the photos show, and frames the stainless core.

A world-recognized special stainless core inside the layers: The listing describes the core as a special stainless steel recognized around the world, inserted between the Damascus layers. That choice gives the blade a stainless edge material to cut with.

A steel chosen to resist rust in everyday kitchen use: The listing states that the knife uses steel that is hard to rust. That makes everyday care simpler, because a quick wash and dry after cutting keeps the blade clean and ready for the next meal.

A Western-style handle that is easy to care for: The knife has a Western-style handle with three rivets, described in the listing as easy to care for. The black handle sits flush against the bolster, and its straightforward shape suits a firm everyday grip.

A 170 mm santoku that cuts meat, vegetables and bread: The listing says this knife works across meat, vegetables, bread and many other dishes. The 170 mm santoku blade is the all-round Japanese kitchen shape, wide enough to scoop and still easy to control.

A knife the listing says suits home cooks and larger hands: The listing describes the knife as a good fit for home use and for people who prefer something a little larger. The 170 mm blade and the full-size handle give a roomier feel than a small utility knife.

How to Use
