About the Shape -This is also a multi-purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to their unique shape and smaller easy-to-handle size.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Masutani Kokuryu VG10 Tsuchime Damascus Santoku 165mm

"I love love love this knife. My first “good knife purchase”. I generally prefer nikiri and that’s gonna be my next one. But this is a beautiful and precise knife for someone like me that does NOT cook in a professional kitchen. But my chef friends said this is what they use. It’s easy to care for. The blade is soft though so really can’t handle hard things. I accidentally bent the blade a bit when I tried to cut through a particularly dry bulb of garlic. It wasn’t the blades fault, I hit stalk and accidentally flicked my wrist instead of retracting it vertically. It would have been fine. Anyway the team was awesome and fixed it Quick. No issues. Super dependable and makes cooking so much faster. I powered through some massive mise for a big event in no time."

"I've used this knife every day since I bought it a month ago. The quality of the knife itself is excellent and the staff at Knifewear Edmonton were incredibly helpful. I'm super happy with this knife and I'll definitely be back to the shop for more cooking accessories (and probably more knives)."
