High-Carbon 1.4116 German Steel 6.5 Santoku Kitchen Knife

This high-quality santoku knife is crafted from a single piece of high-carbon German steel, ensuring durability and precision. The blade is meticulously heat tempered, hand-ground, and polished to achieve maximum sharpness. Its straight, slender design effortlessly slices through tough foods, while the perfect amount of rock allows for efficient chopping of herbs and mincing of onions. The full-tang handle provides a comfortable and well-balanced grip, with an etched Babish logo adding a stylish touch.

This knife is a versatile kitchen essential, allowing you to easily tackle piles of veggies and tough cuts of meat. However, it is important to note that excessive heat and detergent from automatic dishwashers can potentially damage or stain the blades, so we do not recommend cleaning the knife in a dishwasher. Additionally, it is crucial to avoid allowing the blades to soak in water or to leave food residue on the blade after use, as this may lead to stains. In most cases, stains can be easily removed with a standard stainless steel cleanser & polish. To maintain the sharpness of the blade, it is recommended to use a sharpener and honing rod between uses or to have the knives professionally sharpened once or twice a year.

In order to preserve the sharp edges, it is best to use the knives on a wood or soft plastic cutting board, as hard surfaces such as countertops, dinner plates, or glass cutting boards may dull the blades. It is also important to avoid using the knives to cut bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects. When using the knife, it is crucial to exercise extreme caution to prevent injury, as the blades are extremely sharp. Never use the knife for purposes such as opening cans, prying, screwing, wedging, or as a hand tool, as this can result in accidents. Additionally, it is important to avoid handling the knife by the blade and to keep the sharp edges pointed away from the body when laying the knife down. Furthermore, it is vital to refrain from attempting to catch a falling knife and to keep all knives out of reach of children.

To ensure the longevity of the knife, it should be stored properly in a knife block, roll, or another safe place. This santoku knife is the ultimate tool for slicing, dicing, mincing, and chopping all types of food, making it an indispensable addition to any kitchen.
