Description: The santoku is the traditional Japanese general purpose chefs knife. This comfortable design is a fantastic multipurpose chopper that has quickly become a new favorite for chefs in the West. The shorter blade is easily controlled, while the blade height gives plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board. Whether slicing, chopping, or dicing, this nimble chef's knife is a perfect choice. The arc of the blade edge is perfect for a rocking chop. The slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance just right. Whether slicing, chopping, or dicing, this nimble chef's knife is a perfect choice.
Hatsukokoro Yorokobi SLD Copper Suminasghi knives combine meticulous craftsmanship and artistry. Alternating layers of copper and stainless steel are exceptionally dramatic. The flats feature a kurouchi forge finish. The ambidextrous shinogi grind provides effortless food release while chopping, slicing, or dicing. The blade is distal tapered (beginning with a thick spine where the blade comes out of the handle and becoming progressively thinner as it approaches the tip) for perfect balance. Both the spine and the choil are nicely rounded for comfort when held in a pinch grip.
The octagonal "Wa" style handle is ambidextrous. Stabilized birch burl is highlighted with a synthetic bone spacer. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
Yorokobi SLD Copper Suminagashi chef's knives by Hatsukokoro are a great choice for the cook who is looking for a high performance, world class semi-stainless knife that will excel in any kitchen.
