The 18 cm Japanese Santoku knife is designed for versatile daily use on meat, fish and vegetables. Balanced and stable, it allows you to tackle most preparations with one tool while maintaining precision and control. The wide, well-proportioned blade promotes clean, continuous cutting, making this santoku knife an effective choice for those seeking a reliable Japanese knife for everyday use.
THE NAME ENCLOSED IN THE BLADE (刃に込められた名前) The Santoku is one of the most popular Japanese knives for everyday use. The term Santoku (三徳) literally translates as “three virtues” or “three uses,” referring to the three main ingredients for which it was designed: meat, fish, and vegetables. The name accurately describes the function of this knife, designed to cover multiple processing with one tool.
Born in modern Japan, the Santoku was developed as an all-purpose knife for the home kitchen, capable of handling a wide variety of preparations without the need to change tools. Compared to a Western chef’s knife, it favors a more compact profile and direct control of cutting, while still maintaining high versatility.
The 18-cm blade made of Japanese AUS-10 steel offers a good balance of sharpening ability, strength and stability. Hardness between 59 and 61 HRC allows for a precise and durable edge, while the asymmetrical 70/30 sharpening with an angle between 14 and 15° per side promotes a clean and responsive cut on a variety of foods.
The Ebony and Rose Wood handle contributes to the overall balance of the knife, improving comfort and control during extended use. As with all Japanese knives, careful use and proper maintenance is recommended.
For care, only hand washing and immediate drying is recommended. Storage on magnetic bar or with dedicated protection helps preserve the wire. Regular maintenance with appropriate tools will maintain consistent performance over time.
The Bet Santoku is suitable for those who want a versatile, well-balanced Japanese knife suitable for everyday use without compromising on precision.
