Product: Vintage 7″ Santoku Knife with Kullenschliff (Hollow) Edge

The Santoku is a general-purpose kitchen knife similar to the chef 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 extremely 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.

What is a Santoku knife?

Constructed from superior USA Hi-Carbon Stainless Steel, our full-tang Vintage blades are cut, ground, polished and sharpened in our Massachusetts facilities. Handle scales of Walnut or Midnight (Black G-10) are assembled to the blades with brass or nickel-silver rivets and then the knives are meticulously finished and sharpened.

The Vintage Series features updated ergonomically friendly hand-finished Walnut or Midnight (Black G-10) handles that have a traditional, timeless look and feel. The sleek integrated bolster allows for a traditional or pinch-grip. The brass rivets complement the Walnut handle, while the nickel-silver rivets complement the Midnight handle and accents the stainless-steel blade.

Features

• 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 quality. Blades are formed from superior USA Hi-Carbon Stainless Steel. Knives come with a choice of sleek and sturdy handles of Walnut or Midnight (Black-G-10).
• Durable design. Our blades are precision laser cut and tempered to a hardness of 58 on the Rockwell scale. This results in a hard, wickedly sharp blade that retains an edge for longer and is both highly corrosion resistant and elastic.
• Superior cutting performance. Full tang blades with double brass or nickel-silver riveted handles ensure ideal balance and weight. Our combination machine and hand-sharpening processes ensures a consistently sharp and durable edge.
• Superior ergonomic handling. A curved and recessed integrated bolster provides a seamless transition from handle to blade, resulting in comfortable thumb and finger support for better control and safety. If you use a traditional or advanced “pinch-grip”, you will love the feel and function of these knives.
