Pepper - Santoku Knife - 18 cm
A Santoku knife is a Japanese kitchen knife designed to be versatile, lightweight, and precise - perfect for both home cooks and professionals. The Santoku knife excels at fine chopping, dicing, and slicing, making it easy to work quickly with vegetables, fish, and meat. It is also well-suited for sashimi and sushi. A Santoku knife is an excellent choice if you love cooking with precision and control - combining Japanese sharpness with practical functionality.
Pepper's kitchen knives are made with VG10 steel with a hardness of 60-62 HRC, providing exceptional sharpness and edge retention far beyond softer steels. The steel is also highly resistant to rust, and each blade features 33 layers of high-quality stainless steel on either side. The blades are precision-ground to an optimal angle of 12 to 14 degrees, ensuring top-tier sharpness and control.
Pepper uses only FSC-certified Pakkawood for its knife handles, ensuring durability without compromising on quality.
Care instructions for long-lasting performance:
To maintain your knife in top condition, we recommend:
- Always wash the knife by hand using warm water and mild detergent
- Dry the knife immediately after washing with a soft towel to avoid rust and water spots
- Sharpen the knife when needed - this is easiest with a honing steel or a knife sharpener
