Santoku - Kitchen Knife
This handmade Santoku chef’s knife is perfect for all general prep kitchen tasks. The Santoku is perhaps the most popular Japanese kitchen knife shape and is your workhorse knife that sees the most use from chopping veggies to slicing steak or breaking down a chicken. Being made from quality German high carbon steel, it is easy to give this knife a tickle on a sharpening steel and keep its razor sharp edge throughout any job.
The handle material is Jarrah, an Australian hardwood.It has a medium coarse texture with fairly straight grain. Popular these days in furniture and finishing timbers but is prone to gum/resin pockets in the grain. We regard this as a feature of the timber and adds to its uniqueness.
All of our knives are based off our knife course designs and have been refined over many iterations to achieve the perfect balance of form and functionality.
Hand made by Bruce Stuart in Clevedon, Auckland.

Care instructions
Please note, your knife is made from carbon steel and as a result will tarnish with use. This discolouration is called a patina and acts as a protective layer. This layer will build up with time and use and is part of what gives your knife its character.
Do not leave your knife wet as this will cause it to rust, always wipe it with a damp cloth and put it away. Never put your knife through a dishwasher, as the extreme heat causes the glue bond to break and the materials to expand at different rates, allowing water to get in between your handle and the blade. This will cause rusting and will ultimately destroy your knife.
Be careful to wipe the blade clean when using it with acidic fruits/vegetables (lemons, tomatoes etc).
Warranty

*Please note knife may differ slightly from the image as each item is handmade and no two will ever be identical. Expect to see variations in colour/ grain on the timber handles.
