{"product_id":"santoku-knife-170mm","title":"Santoku Knife","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeki city in Gifu, Japan is known as a Japan's best cutlery town.\u003cbr\u003eThe blade is made of special stainless steel, which ensures a long lasting sharpness. The sides of the blade are made of soft stainless steel and can be easily sharpened at home. The handle is made of natural rosewood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Simply Native, many of our customers have asked us for an entry-level Japanese knife that is easy to maintain. So we decided to add to our collection Seki Kanetsugu knives, which are made by a sword smith with 700 years of tradition and make knives in stainless steel. Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel knives require no maintenance. Their knives are also very well designed. Every knife is made with care from various in-house artisans, led by the current head of the family, Kawamura-san. We hope you will try them as an introduction to Japanese kitchen knives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSantoku knives are also called cultural knives. They are the most common kitchen knife in Japanese households. It is a combination of a Japanese knife and a Western knife and was created to have the characteristics of both.\u003cbr\u003eIn the past, it was called a \"cultural or Bunka knife\" because it looked like a knife with a slanted and pointed tip. However, in order to make it easier to use, a knife with a rounded back was introduced, and this was then called a santoku knife. Nowadays, there is often no distinction between Santoku and Bunka knives.\u003cbr\u003e\"Santoku\" means \"three uses,\" which means that a single knife can be used to cut a wide range of ingredients, such as meat, fish, and vegetables in a variety of ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOverall Length: 29cm\u003cbr\u003eBlade: 17cm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 127g\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Blade - Stainless Steel, Handle - Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNot dishwasher safe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHand wash, rinse, and dry immediately\u003cbr\u003eKeep wooden handles conditioned with food-safe wax or oil\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SEKI KANETSUGU","offers":[{"title":"Regular","offer_id":41296113565795,"sku":"728","price":81.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/6150\/9219\/files\/Santoku_170_1.jpg?v=1743565656","url":"https:\/\/simplynativejapan.com.au\/en-eu\/products\/santoku-knife-170mm","provider":"Simply Native","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
