| Definition of Zen: 1. a Japanese sect of Mahayana Buddhism that aims at enlightenment by direct intuition through meditationâ 2. a state of calm attentiveness in which one's actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effortâ 3. the name of a series of knives by the Japanese smithy TOJIRO, identifiable by traditional Wa handles and sleek polished blades.â |
BLADE SHAPE:
Santoku is a versatile kitchen knife that will shine through all kinds of chopping and cutting on the kitchen board. Meat lovers will only miss a little bit of length with larger pieces of meat. Did you know that the word santoku means "knife of three virtues" in Japanese? The word san is number three, meaning that it can be used to prepare vegetables, fish and meat.
STEEL:
The core is made of VG-10 steel coated with 13 Chrome Stainless Steel, offering professional sharpness with easy maintenance.
VG-10 steel is stainless steel with relatively high Carbon (C) content (1%), 15% Chromium (Cr), 1% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.3% Vanadium (V) and 1.5% Cobalt (Co). The combination of Cr, Mo, and V forms a lot of hard carbides, making the steel abrasion resistant which translates to long-lasting, smooth sharpness. Heat treated to the hardness of 60-61 HRC.
GEOMETRY:
It has a double bevel (50/50 symmetrical) blade.
BLADE FINISH:
The blade undergoes a special black oxide treatment â a process commonly used in medical technology â which gives it exceptional corrosion resistance and a striking dark finish.
HANDLE:
The chestnut wood handle offers excellent durability, while the fire-treated finish further enhances strength and grip.
