Description: Forge to Table was started by chef Noah Rosen. Their knives are hand forged by a 3rd generation blacksmith in China. Forge to Table knives bring an affordable, yet quality option to the world of culinary knives.
The santoku is a multipurpose knife used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means “three virtues.” Depending on who you ask, this refers either to the three types of foods it works especially well with — vegetables, proteins, and fruit, or for the three types of cuts at which it excels: slicing, dicing, and chopping. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, a santoku is very easy to maneuver—even in a smaller kitchen. There's plenty belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which enhances the knife's versatility. Whether slicing, chopping, mincing, or dicing, this comfortable knife will do it all.
The blade is hand forged from Japanese AUS10A, a highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. This steel is often compared to VG-10 due to its similar level of edge holding and ease of sharpening. The blacksmith's kurouchi finish helps food release from the side of the blade.
The Japanese style octagonal handle is made from African padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii) with a buffalo horn ferrule. It is comfortable for both right and left handed users. Padauk wood will hold up extremely well in the harsh environment of either a professional or home kitchen. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
The knife is shipped in a wood display box featuring Forge to Table's logo.
