Robert Welch Santoku Knife 14cm/ 5.5", Stainless Steel

Designed in consultation with professional chefs, this 14cm Santoku knife from the multi-award winning Signature range features a fully forged German stainless steel blade with a full tang for superior strength and balance. The Japanese-style blade edge is hand applied at a 15° angle, and the handle is made from tactile DuPont™ which is ergonomically shaped for comfort and to minimise fatigue. A wide scalloped blade makes Santoku knives ideal for the precision slicing and dicing of fruit and vegetables. The scalloped indentations create air pockets, pushing food from the blade and reducing friction when slicing. The flat blade edge relies on a more singular downward cutting action, compared to the two-step slicing and rocking action of a cooks knife. To maintain a superior cutting edge we strongly recommend the regular honing of this knife with a Robert Welch Signature hand-held knife sharpener.
