Ji Series Santoku Knife – 53-Layer Tricolour Copper Damascus Steel with Padauk Burl Handle
Discover exceptional balance, refined craftsmanship, and cutting performance with this premium Santoku knife forged from 53 layers of Tricolour Copper Damascus Steel. Designed for precision slicing and daily culinary versatility, it combines advanced metallurgy with artisan finishing to deliver a blade that is as functional as it is visually striking.
The blade core is crafted from 12Cr18MoV stainless steel, engineered to provide superior hardness (60 ± 2 HRC), excellent edge retention, and enhanced corrosion resistance. Surrounding the core, alternating layers of 316L stainless steel, brass, and purple copper create the authentic tricolour Damascus pattern with exceptional structural cohesion. This forged multilayer construction ensures stability, flexibility under load, and a consistently sharp cutting edge.
The heel-to-spine region features a rounded transitional contour, designed to reduce finger pressure and improve comfort during prolonged use. With a golden 15° ±1 V-shaped edge, the blade achieves clean, controlled slices through vegetables, fruits and soft-textured foods, making it ideal for precision tasks.
The handle is meticulously crafted from Padauk burl wood, reinforced with cupronickel and black G10 spacers. This combination offers ergonomic grip, moisture resistance and long-term dimensional stability. The polished surface showcases natural grain variations while maintaining a non-slip, comfortable feel.
Finished with multiple stages of hand-polishing for uniform grain and natural lustre, this Santoku embodies a fusion of aesthetic excellence and professional-grade performance.
