High-Carbon German Steel Santoku Kitchen Knife

Crafted from a single piece of high-carbon German steel, this santoku knife is precision-forged for maximum sharpness. The blade is straight and slender, designed to effortlessly slice through tough foods with just the right amount of rock for chopping herbs or mincing onions. The full-tang handle ensures a balanced and comfortable grip, with an etched Babish logo adding a nice finishing touch. This kitchen workhorse will have you breezing through piles of veggies and tough cuts of meat.

It is important to note that excess heat and detergent from automatic dishwashers can harm or stain the blades, so it is not recommended to clean this knife in a dishwasher. Additionally, allowing blades to soak in water or leaving food residue on the blade after use can lead to stains. However, persistent stains can easily be removed with a standard stainless steel cleanser & polish. Using a sharpener and honing rod between uses is also recommended to maintain the knife's sharpness, and it is best to have the knives sharpened once or twice a year, either with a whetstone or by a professional.

To preserve the knife's sharp edges, it is advised to use it on a wood or soft plastic cutting board, as hard surfaces such as countertops, dinner plates, or glass cutting boards will dull the blade. It is important to avoid using the knife to cut bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects. This knife should be handled with extreme caution as it is extremely sharp. It is not to be used as a can opener, pry bar, screwdriver, wedge, or hand tool, and it should never be handled by the blade. When laying the knife down, it is essential to keep the sharp edges pointed away from you, and never attempt to catch a falling knife. Furthermore, all knives should be kept out of reach of children and stored properly in a knife block, roll, or other secure location.

With its high-quality construction and precision design, this santoku knife is an ideal tool for slicing, dicing, mincing, and chopping all types of food.
