The Takayuki Grand Chef santoku is made with top-quality Bohler N690 stainless steel, sourced from the Swedish Uddeholm factory and hardened to about 60 HRC. As a mono steel blade with no cladding of other steels, the knife offers superior stainless properties and the easy maintenance so many chefs appreciate, an essential quality in any busy kitchen.
The santoku is a genuinely great all-around kitchen blade, with a deft feel and tall blade height that gives it real versatility across cutting tasks. Santoku translates to three virtues, and the acts of slicing, chopping, and dicing are tackled with confidence by this classic design. Many Western chefs and home cooks alike look to the santoku as their go-to blade for general cutting work. The symmetrical 50/50 grind, paired with a gently curved belly, makes this a good choice for cooks of all types and cutting preferences.
Care Instructions: Bohler N690 is a fully stainless steel - hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones and strop regularly between sharpenings.
