Samura Artefact Santoku Knife 7.1/180 mm, AUS-10 with 5 layers HRC-61

The Samura ARTEFACT Santoku 180 mm kitchen knife is a versatile Japanese knife for meat, fish, vegetables, and herbs. Santoku is one of the most popular knife shapes in the world, and its name translates as “three virtues”: slicing, cutting, and chopping.

---

Brief
The 180 mm wide blade with a lowered tip is convenient for precise slicing, chopping cabbage and herbs, and cutting ingredients into even cubes or strips. The knife remains compact and easy to control.

---

Functionality
Santoku is suitable for most everyday kitchen tasks. It works confidently with meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, and herbs. Unlike a classic chef knife, santoku is designed more for precise, controlled movements than for wide rocking cuts.

---

Materials
The blade is made of 5-layer Japanese AUS-10 steel. This steel retains sharpness well and is suitable for frequent kitchen use. The full-metal construction of the Artefact series makes the knife strong, reliable, and durable.

---

Care
Hand washing is recommended, followed by immediate drying. Do not use a dishwasher, abrasive cleaners, or store the knife in a damp environment for long periods, in order to preserve the blade’s sharpness and metal finish.

---

Ergonomics
The wide blade, balanced shape, and comfortable metal handle help maintain confident control over every movement. The knife is ideal for those who do not like oversized tools but want one versatile knife for most ingredients.
