It's a superb example of a knife made with a high end carbon steel, so it is VERY sharp, it keeps this sharp edge a long time, and it resharpens more easily than most stainless steels. The handle and blade are beautiful, well made, and expertly finished, with excellent overall fit and finish. An excellent knife you're sure to fall in love with if you've only ever used stainless steel knives! But remember, this is a high carbon steel knife, NOT stainless, which means you need to keep it dry and stored in a dry place to keep it from rusting. Wash by hand, wipe, dry and store after use. It will also stain and discolour -- this is normal, so forget about trying to keep a carbon steel knife shiny. If you're worried about this, stick with stainless steel knives. It's also best to avoid cutting very acidic items such as citrus fruits, as the acid will react with the carbon steel and can cause intense staining, discolouring and even pitting if left in contact with the blade for any length of time. It is made from the high-end Hitachi Yasugi-works Blue-2 steel which is a very pure high carbon steel with added chromium and tungsten for increased toughness and durability (making it somewhat less fragile than the \"white\" steels for example). This steel is also called Aogami or Ao-Ko II in Japanese. Hardness is at least HRC 60. This knife is sharpened mostly on the right hand side and so is not suitable for left-hand use. I recommend the fine ceramic hone listed below for regular everyday maintenance. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakai Takayuki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37551045509303,"sku":"SAK-13061","price":192.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/3177\/8231\/products\/13061.jpg?v=1605109968"},{"product_id":"sakai-takayuki-grand-chef-santoku-knife-180mm-7","title":"Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef Santoku Knife, 180mm \/ 7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn excellent choice as your main go-to knife for home or professional use, and a GREAT value!

You get a super sharp and long-lasting VG-10 steel cutting core (this is a very hard steel and high quality knife steel, with a Rockwell hardness of approximately 60), with a 33-layer hammered stainless steel surface and a beautiful Japanese-style wooden handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e: Handle colour\/finish may vary from the version pictured here. It is natural wood, and so some are lighter or darker than others, and small imperfections are to be expected and are not considered defects. The wood is not sealed and so extra care must be taken to keep it dry and clean... do NOT leave it sitting in a sink or in water!! As with all quality knives, wash, rinse, hand-dry and store immediately after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI'd recommend the fine ceramic hone (see below) for regular\/daily maintenance of the edge.\u003c\/strong\u003e As with any knife, use the hone regularly and you'll keep the edge in good shape for a LONG time before you need to think about doing any serious \"re-sharpening\" or real grinding and refinishing of the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e: This knife is sharpened 50\/50 (equally on the right and left side), so it's easy to maintain and fine for right or left hand use. If you look carefully at the edge, you'll see a slight right-side bias, this is just because the final edge is so tiny and because of the way they finish the edge; it has NO bearing on right- or left-hand use, sharpening or maintenance and can be ignored, so you should treat the edge just like any standard 50\/50 edge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakai Takayuki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38176411353271,"sku":"SAK-7922","price":209.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/3177\/8231\/products\/7922.jpg?v=1613571628"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/3177\/8231\/collections\/misono-santoku.jpg?v=1607895678","url":"https:\/\/www.paulsfinest.com\/collections\/santoku\/japanese-chef-knives.oembed","provider":"PaulsFinest.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
