An In depth look

Blade Type

The Santoku knife, a classic in Japanese kitchens, translates to "three virtues," symbolizing its proficiency in slicing, dicing, and mincing. With a shorter, versatile blade and a balanced design, it's ideal for a range of tasks, from cutting meat to chopping vegetables, making it a beloved all-purpose tool.

Steel Type

Japanese SG2, also known as R2 steel, is a high-end, powdered metallurgy stainless steel and one of the finest knife-making steels available in Japan. It is a favourite of many for its exceptional hardness and edge retention. Its fine, uniform grain structure enables razor-sharp edges, all the while holding an edge for much longer than Carbon steel knives, without needing to be concerned about rust appearing.

Care Information

This knife is made with a stainless steel and is easy going and low on maintenance. It has high chromium content, meaning it is generally considered safe to leave wet on the board for short periods of time. is still best practice to not leave this knife to air dry as it's stain-less not stain-none! Wipe down after washing the knife and store away from any sources of moisture.

Highly recommend Chef Edge Knives!

I bought one as a gift for my boyfriend, who loves to cook. He is all about precision and symmetry with cutting, this knife seems to give him that control!

The visual appeal is like no other, stunning design & every time he picks up his knife he can’t help but admire it! The quality is amazing also.

Now, he is able to cut things with ease, which means getting prep done quicker!

The first use was doing a “paper test” and my gosh, it is daunting to know how dang sharp it is. Will make sure to look after well!

Thank you Chefs Edge. Will be purchasing from you again.
