Yaxell Tsuchimon Santoku Knife 165 mm, art. 36701

A Santoku is a versatile type of Japanese kitchen knife with a wide, straight blade suited to cutting vegetables, meat and fish without switching tools. The Yaxell Tsuchimon 36701 has a 165 mm blade made of three-layer Damascus steel with a VG10 steel core.

In school, kindergarten and hospital kitchens, this knife works well as an all-purpose tool for primary and secondary food prep. The knife's overall length is 300 mm, blade hardness is 61 HRC on the Rockwell scale, and a 15° edge angle keeps the edge consistently sharp under daily use. The black canvas Micarta handle performs well in the damp conditions of a working kitchen.

Specifications

All-purpose Santoku knives make sense where one cook handles several cutting tasks in sequence — in the dining facilities of educational and healthcare institutions, this reduces the number of tools needed at a single workstation. Caring for multi-layer Japanese steel means hand washing, drying immediately, and storing it separately from other kitchen tools, which helps the cutting edge stay sharp for longer.
