This unique combination gives the knife a luxurious and powerful look that perfectly complements any modern kitchen.
Unique features and specifications
- 3-layer VG-10 Damascus steel: This Shinrai santoku knife stands out due to its three layers of forged steel. Both sides of the knife consist of three layers of the finest VG-10 Damascus steel. The construction includes a hard inner layer and two softer outer layers, ensuring long-lasting sharpness, precision, and better protection against wear.
- Dark wooden handle: The handle of this exclusive santoku knife is made from high-quality dark wood and finished with a stylish black transition to the blade. This provides a luxurious look and a comfortable, stable grip during slicing, chopping, and carving.
- Razor-sharp masterpiece: Shinrai's dedication to craftsmanship results in a santoku knife that goes beyond sharp – it is razor-sharp. Thanks to its extremely high hardness of 61 HRC, this knife can be sharpened to an ultra-sharp 15-degree angle, ideal for precise cutting techniques.
- Balance and ergonomics: This santoku knife fits perfectly in the hand due to its balanced design. The ergonomic handle offers optimal comfort and control and is suitable for both left- and right-handed users.
- Durability and quality: Made from high-quality Damascus steel. Its strength, wear resistance, and long lifespan make this knife a durable choice. The three layers of forged steel also ensure easy maintenance and long-lasting performance.
- A beautiful gift: This santoku knife comes in a luxurious gift box. This protects the knife during transport and makes it suitable for gifting to any cooking enthusiast.
- Warranty: We are fully confident in the quality of Shinrai kitchen knives. Therefore, we offer a 7-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects.
Maintenance tips and recommendations
- Wash by hand: To keep your santoku knife in optimal condition, we recommend washing it by hand with mild soap and warm water. Avoid the dishwasher, as aggressive cleaning can shorten the life of your knife. Dry the knife immediately and thoroughly after washing.
- Regular sharpening: Regularly use a sharpening stone or honing steel to maintain the knife's sharpness and precision. This extends its lifespan and ensures consistent cutting performance.
- Storage: Store your knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a protective sheath. This prevents damage to the blade and keeps the knife safe and sharp.
- Proper cutting surface: Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board. These surfaces protect the blade and help maintain the knife's sharpness for longer.

Specifications
Maintenance and Care
To keep your chef's knife in optimum condition, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water. As with any good chef's 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, sharpening rod 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.
Warranty
We are fully convinced of the quality of Shinrai kitchen knives. That is why we offer a 25-year warranty on material and manufacturing defects.
