SKU CH-3KQS-H7HJG MPN 1033010

A 7-inch santoku with a 45-layer Damascus-clad D60 core hardened to 59-61 Rockwell for lasting sharpness

  • 45-layer Damascus pattern shields the D60 steel core
  • Rockwell hardness 59-61 keeps the edge sharp longer
  • Curved bolster guides a secure pinch grip
  • Triple-rivet handle with stainless end-cap balances the knife
  • Mosaic centre pin adds a decorative touch

A Damascus Santoku for Home Cooks

This 45-layer Damascus santoku is built around a high-carbon D60 steel core hardened to 59-61 Rockwell. The pattern-welded cladding protects the cutting steel while giving each blade a unique surface. It suits home cooks and aspiring chefs who want lasting edge retention without specialist sharpening equipment. Buyers needing a dedicated boning or cleaver profile should look elsewhere.

Curved Bolster and Triple-Rivet Handle

An innovative curved bolster supports the pinch grip, improving precision and comfort during extended prep. The contoured handle carries three rivets, a stainless-steel endcap and a decorative mosaic pin in the centre rivet for balance and visual weight. Oil-quenched construction gives the blade strong corrosion resistance for daily kitchen use. The handle shape favours a forward grip; users who prefer a straight, traditional wa-handle will find it unfamiliar.

Ready to Use Without Extra Tools

The knife arrives factory-sharpened at a consistent angle so it cuts cleanly straight from the box. No honing rod, sheath or sharpening stone is bundled, keeping the package focused on the blade itself. Maintenance is straightforward: hand wash, dry promptly and occasional honing keeps the 60-hardness edge performing. Cooks who want a complete knife-care kit included will need to buy those pieces separately.
