Unique features and specifications
- 67-layer VG-10 Damascus steel : This santoku knife from Shinrai is distinguished by its many layers of steel. Both sides of the knife consist of 67 layers of the best damascus steel. This number of layers ensures strength and shock resistance. 67-layer knives are known for their excellent resistance to rust and stains. This set therefore offers the perfect mix of functionality, style and durability.
- Black Bison Horn: The handle of this exclusive santoku knife is a paragon of luxury and craftsmanship, made of black bison horn and sustainable olive wood. These high-quality materials ensure an elegant look, a comfortable grip and exceptional durability. A perfect knife for those looking for a unique and functional masterpiece in the kitchen.
- Razor-sharp masterpiece : Shinrai's dedication to craftsmanship results in a santoku knife that goes beyond sharp - it's razor-sharp! Cut with precision, effortlessly, and with a finesse that only a true home chef can appreciate. The extremely high hardness of 61 HRC allows this chef's knife to be sharpened to a razor-sharp 15-degree angle.
- Balance and ergonomics : This santoku knife fits perfectly in the hand thanks to its balanced design. The handle is very comfortable in the hand, for both left- and right-handed people.
- Durability and quality : Made of high-quality Damascus steel. The durability of Damascus steel lies in its strength, wear resistance and longevity. The layered structure ensures that the steel remains both sharp and tough, making it less susceptible to wear. An investment for life in your culinary journey.
- A beautiful gift : This santoku knife comes in a beautiful gift box. This not only ensures that this santoku knife is protected on its way to you, but also that it puts a smile on your face when you receive it.
- Warranty : We are fully convinced of the quality of Shinrai kitchen knives. That is why we offer a 2-year warranty on material and manufacturing defects!
Maintenance tips and recommendations.
To keep your santoku knife in optimum condition, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water. As with any good santoku knife, avoid the dishwasher, as the aggressive cleaning can quickly shorten the life of your knife. After washing, make sure to dry it immediately and thoroughly to avoid stains.
Sharpen regularly
Use a sharpening stone or sharpening steel regularly. This will help you effortlessly maintain the sharpness and precision of your knife, extend its lifespan and continue to enjoy an unparalleled cutting experience.
Storage
Properly storing your knives in a knife block is essential to not only ensure safety, but also extend the life of your knives. By storing them this way, you prevent damage to the cutting edges and ensure that they are always within reach when you need them.
Correct substrate
Quality cutting boards are essential for keeping your knives sharp and extending their life. They provide a soft, non-abrasive surface that prevents knives from dulling quickly and reduces the impact on the blade while cutting. Using quality cutting boards is an investment in both the performance and durability of your knives.

I ordered a magnetic knife block and it's perfect. The delivery took a little longer than expected but I only realised later that it's shipped from outside the UK. Nonetheless, it arrived in great condition, looks fab and works exactly as I hoped.
