An In Depth Look

Blade Type
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
Steel Type Read

SG2 is considered by many as the best knifemaking steel in Japan. It gives all the benefits of carbon steel (very long edge retention, general ease of sharpening) without the carbon steel stresses of maintenance. It'll hold an edge for a long time, and can quickly and easily be refreshed on a whetstone or ceramic honing steel.

Care Information
Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

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.
