Hammer Stahl's 5.5-Inch Santoku Knife is designed to look fabulous and perform even better. The Japanese word santoku translates to "three virtues" or "three uses," referring to the three types of cuts the knife is made for: slicing, dicing, and mincing. The 5.5" blade of this santoku knife can handle both precision work and medium to large prep tasks. Hammer Stahl's unique deep granton edge reduces the cutting surface area to help keep food from sticking while slicing, dicing, and mincing.
Hammer Stahl's cutlery is made in the tradition of the great German knife makers but with a patented new design and a manufacturing process that allows them to be affordable. The 5.5-inch santoku knife is made of top-quality German X50CrMoV15 High Carbon Stainless Steel. Hammer Stahl knives are coveted for their razor-sharp cutting edge, hand forged quality, and quad tang design.
Hammer Stahl's patented quad tang handle design gives the santoku knife exceptional balance, lasting durability, and superior comfort. The handle is also made of Pakkawood. The Pakkawood is infused with phenolic resin that combines the beautiful look of wood with the durability of plastic.
The knife was forged and tempered to precise specifications and a Rockwell hardness of 55 - 57. This process provides a superior edge and lasting durability. The knife's blade is also precisely measured by laser to achieve a world-class cutting edge sharpened to a 20-degree bevel angle.
