Product: Premier Forged 5″ Santoku Knife with Kullenschliff (Granton) Edge

The 5″ Santoku is a general-purpose kitchen knife similar to the chef’s knife. The blade of the Santoku is not as curved as a chef’s knife, resulting in more of a chopping motion instead of a rocking motion. It performs well at slicing, dicing, and mincing.

A Kullenschliff (K) edge, also known as a Granton- or Hollow-Edge, is designed to create an air pocket between the food and the blade, helping to prevent sticking.

These masterful cutting instruments are yours to be treasured and passed to the next generation. We are confident you will not find a better forged knife set anywhere.

Features

• Hot-Drop Forged Blades from the very best German Steel, our full-tang Premier Forged blades are polished and sharpened in our Massachusetts facilities. Handles of exotic imported hardwoods and acrylics are assembled to the blades with triple rivets and then the knives are processed and sharpened to perfection.
• Signature Craftsmanship. Meticulously formed in our Massachusetts facilities, each of our knives is finished to perfection using state-of-the-art technology coupled with hand finishing as well as proprietary polishing and sharpening processes.
• Unmatched Blade Quality. Blades are precision-forged from the finest high-carbon Grade 4116 stainless steel from Solingen, Germany, using the traditional hot-drop method. Blades are then tempered and ice-hardened to a perfect 58 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. This results in a hard, wickedly sharp blade that retains an edge for longer and is both highly corrosion-resistant and elastic.
• Gorgeous & Ergonomic Handles. Choose from one of our 3 distinctive sleek and sturdy handles.
  • Fire – Tough Acrylic handles, water resistant with unique fire infusion coloring
  • Midnight – Ultra tough Black G-10 handles that are highly impervious to moisture and heat. Midnight Honing Steel handles are constructed of extremely strong POM material.
  • Walnut – Classic solid walnut handles with a classical look and feel.
• Superior Handling & Cutting Performance. Full tang blades with smooth integrated front bolster and triple-riveted handles ensure ideal strength, perfect balance and weight. Our combination machine and hand-sharpening processes ensure a consistently ultra-sharp and durable edge.
