Specifications

The Santoku blade shape is well suited to cutting vegetables, meat and fish with chopping and slicing motions, making this knife a convenient tool for processing large volumes of food daily in a school, kindergarten or hospital kitchen. Because of its thinner sharpening angle, the Super Gou series blade calls for especially careful handling: wash it by hand right after use, dry it thoroughly and store it separately from other utensils in a dry place, avoiding impact against hard surfaces. Sharpening should be entrusted to equipment matching the blade's stated sharpening angle so as not to disturb the fine geometry of the cutting edge. Consistent, careful maintenance of Japanese steel helps maintain high-quality cutting performance over the knife's long service life in an institutional kitchen.
