Santoku knife

Start by blade length, blade design features, and handle comfort. In this collection you can select blades from compact 11.5–12.5 cm options for precise work up to larger 17 cm blades for general prep. Features vary: some blades include holes to reduce sticking, others have scalloped edges for lighter tasks, and several blades offer a non‑stick ceramic coating for smoother slices. Choose a handle that feels secure, with PP soft‑grip or sturdy polypropylene for comfortable control during longer prep sessions.

The blade features that influence release, maintenance, and edge retention are the most nuanced. Holes or perforations on the blade reduce suction when cutting sticky foods, making cleanup easier. Scalloped edges aid with delicate items, while coatings like a non‑stick finish affect glide and care requirements. Some blades in this range combine multiple options, such as perforations with scallops or a ceramic coating, so weigh your typical tasks and care routine when deciding.

Choose based on your typical prep tasks and kitchen size. For precise, smaller cuts, a compact 12.5 cm option offers enhanced control for slicing and dicing; for general daily prep or larger batches, a 17 cm blade provides balance and reach. You’ll find Graphite 17.5 cm and mint 17 cm blades that suit versatile, day‑to‑day cooking, while the Orient 12.5 cm version delivers nimble handling for detailed work.

Proper care keeps blades sharp and performing well. Always handwash to maintain blade sharpness and finish and dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots or corrosion. Store in a knife block or sheath to protect the edge, and sharpen periodically with appropriate tools to preserve the blade’s geometry. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or dishwasher exposure which can dull or damage the edge over time.

A comfortable, secure grip is essential for safe, precise cutting. Look for handles with a non‑slip surface and balanced weight. In this assortment,PP-based handles appear with soft‑grip textures for comfort, while some blades feature a durable PP handle designed to match blade balance for extended use without fatigue.

Yes. Blade features like holes and scalloped edges are designed to minimize food sticking. Holes reduce suction during slicing, while scalloped edges glide more easily through soft or finely sliced ingredients. Some blades also offer a non‑stick ceramic coating to further ease release and cleanup, though you should follow hand‑washing and drying guidelines to preserve the coating’s performance.

Blade lengths in this collection range from smaller 11.5–12.5 cm sizes suitable for detailed work to larger 17 cm blades ideal for bulk chopping and slicing. For example, compact 12.50 cm options are great for precise vegetables or herbs, while 17 cm blades like Graphite or mint variants cover broader prep tasks with a comfortable balance for most home kitchens.
