Seki Magoroku Benifuji Santoku Granton 16.5cm

Description

The Benifuji Santoku Granton 16.5cm Knife is a Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife.Like a chefs knife, the santoku is used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. It works well with vegetables, proteins, and fruit and excels at three types of cuts: slicing, dicing, and chopping. Hollow-ground indentations on the blade help reduce friction so the blade glides through the food more easily.Benifuji is part of the Seki Magoroku range of knives. Many celebrated swords were born in the Seki area and in the Kamakura era. The master craftsman Magoroku of Seki possessed the original technique for producing beautiful, high-quality swords with outstanding sharpness. Made in Japan, these knives have a full tang, which makes them robust and eases hand fatigue. Like others in the Kai family, the handle is made from hard-wearing PakkaWood, which enables durability and comfort, as well as making it an attractive-looking knife to have in your collection.Constructed from AUS-8A stainless steel, each blade is subjected to a 3-chamfering process. This special grinding process reduces friction against food and the blade, giving you a knife with an extremely sharp cutting edge.Blade Material:Full tang, Japanese AUS-8A blade steelCutting Angle:Sharpened to 16 double-bevel bladeHardness:60 HRCHandle Material:PakkaWood (premium, resin-impregnated hardwood)Blade length:16.5cmHandcrafted in JapanLimited warranty from manufacturing defectsRead through ourShun Blogto find out more information about this top-end brand and the differences between their ranges.See all Chefs ComplementsKai Shun Knives here.
