Its blade design integrates features from the traditional vegetable knife (Usuba) and the Gyuto (Japanese chef's knife), making it ideal for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables with ease. The round tip and shorter, thinner blade offer precise control, making the Santoku perfect for home cooking, whether you're dicing, slicing, or chopping fresh ingredients. This knife will transform even the simplest tasks, from preparing fresh produce to carving a roast chicken, into a seamless and enjoyable cooking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted for precision and versatility, the Yoshihiro Gold Steel Santoku is an essential tool for any kitchen. To maintain its superior sharpness and performance, we recommend sharpening and honing the blade on premium quality Japanese water stones.

Its rounded tip and shorter, thinner design make it perfect for home cooks.

A protective Saya, a wooden sheath, is included to safeguard the blade and enhance its aesthetic appeal when not in use. The ergonomic octagonal handle ensures a comfortable grip, allowing for smooth, precise cutting with every use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain its exceptional sharpness, the knife should be sharpened and honed with water whetstones. For care, hand wash and dry immediately after use, particularly when handling acidic ingredients. Avoid cutting through hard items like bones or frozen foods to preserve the integrity of the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're preparing vegetables, slicing fish, or carving a roast, the VG-10 Santoku knife is an indispensable addition to any kitchen, elevating both your cooking experience and the presentation of your dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46 Layer Hammered Damascus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG-10 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003eHowlite White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAlternative Ivory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003eMagnetic Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"7\" (180mm)","offer_id":48029145596134,"sku":"NSSA180IHMO","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/files\/NSSA180IHOMO_PT01_090cca6f-38ab-4af3-9dcc-099ac646fe4f.jpg?v=1784670798"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.echefknife.com\/collections\/summer-sale-2026.oembed?page=2","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
