{"product_id":"santoku-170mm-6-18","title":"Santoku 170mm (6.6\")","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Santoku is a versatile, all-purpose knife that excels in precision cutting, making it a staple in both professional and home kitchens. The name “Santoku” translates to “three virtues,” referring to its ability to handle slicing, dicing, and chopping with ease. With its shorter, wider blade and a flat cutting edge, the Santoku is designed for a more up-and-down chopping motion, making it an excellent alternative to the Gyuto, especially for those who prefer a more compact knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUnlike a Gyuto, which has a pronounced curve for rocking cuts, the Santoku features a straighter edge, allowing for clean, precise cuts with minimal horizontal movement. The sheep’s foot tip provides extra control for delicate slicing, while the wide blade makes it easy to scoop up chopped ingredients. Many Santoku knives also feature a granton edge (hollow grooves), which helps reduce food from sticking to the blade, improving efficiency. With its balanced weight, sharp edge, and ergonomic design, the Santoku is an ideal choice for those who want a lightweight, efficient, and easy-to-handle knife for everyday kitchen tasks. Whether you’re chopping vegetables, slicing meat, or mincing herbs, the Santoku delivers precision and versatility in every cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Tsunehisa Nashiji Damascus range combines striking aesthetics with exceptional cutting performance. Each blade features a high-performance stainless steel core clad in beautiful multilayer damascus steel, finished with a distinctive Nashiji (“pear skin”) texture that gives every knife a unique appearance while helping to reduce food sticking to the blade. Paired with a beautifully crafted traditional Japanese wa handle, the range offers outstanding balance, comfort and precision, making it an excellent choice for both professional chefs and enthusiastic home cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 119\u003c\/span\u003eg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhite magnolia with buffalo horn ferrule\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e130mm (5.1\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 168\u003c\/span\u003emm (6.6\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 48\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at spine:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1.7mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at tip:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e0.4mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDouble 50\/50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSwedish 19C27 Sandvik Damascus carbon steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness (Rockwell scale):\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e62 - 63\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsunehisa Swedish Washiji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58010106560895,"sku":null,"price":139.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/0646\/7124\/files\/IMG_5604.heic?v=1784471382","url":"https:\/\/knivesforchefs.co.uk\/products\/santoku-170mm-6-18","provider":"Knives for Chefs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
