Fissman 5.5" Santoku Knife SAMURAI MUSASHI 14 Cm (Steel DAMASCUS). Santoku literally translates from Japanese as "three virtues," or "three uses," which speaks for itself. The FISSMAN SAMURAI MUSASHI 5.5" santoku knife is perfect for slicing, chopping or crumbling. One blade can replace several traditional knives in the kitchen, it is convenient for cutting meat and fish as well as for cutting fruits and vegetables into small flat slices or dices. The blade itself is quite wide, which with a narrow handle gives the chef space under his palm and more freedom in manipulating the knife. Traditional Japanese craftsmanship combined with advanced technology and beautiful modern design. Corrosion resistance and durability thanks to the special Korudo cold hardened metal technology to 61 HRC on the Rockwell scale. Damascene blade consists of 67 layers of durable VG-10 stainless super steel. Overlapping layers of steel form an inimitable pattern reminiscent of a rolling sea. Craftsmen sharpen the blades by hand, using the ancient Japanese Honbazuke method. The perfect cutting angle thanks to the sharpening is 15-17 degrees per side. The handle of the knife is made of high-class waterproof and wear-resistant G-10 material that can withstand both low and high temperatures perfectly, thanks to which the knife does not slip in your hand and does not absorb extraneous odors.
