7'' Santoku Knife in 67-Layer Damascus Steel with Desert Ironwood Handle

7” Santoku Knife in 67-Layer Damascus Steel with Desert Ironwood Handle

The blade is crafted with a high-alloy carbon steel core, clad in 67 layers of Damascus stainless steel. The central core provides exceptional edge retention (60 ± 2 HRC), while the outer 316/316L Damascus layers deliver outstanding corrosion resistance and a striking visual finish. Advanced vacuum heat treatment combined with cryogenic hardening stabilises the crystalline structure, optimising hardness and toughness. With a thickness of 2.4 mm at the spine, the knife balances robustness and cutting agility. The “raindrop” Damascus pattern, combined with the hammered Tsuchime finish, reduces drag and allows smoother food release.

The North American Desert Ironwood handle offers exceptional density, extremely low moisture absorption, and a unique natural grain. Its ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use, ensures a secure grip, and withstands temperature variations typical in professional kitchens.
