Sori Yanagi Santoku Kitchen Knife Stainless Steel Japanese Import

Product Description

The Sori Yanagi Santoku kitchen knife is a Japanese knife designed by Sori Yanagi (柳宗理), one of Japan's most celebrated industrial designers of the 20th century. Made in Japan, it belongs to the renowned 'Yanagi Sori Design Series' of kitchenware, known for its clean lines and functional design. The blade measures 14 cm and the total length of the knife is 27 cm, making it a versatile all-purpose knife suited for everyday cutting of vegetables, meat and fish.

The blade is made from a special three-layer stainless steel (a molybdenum-vanadium steel core sandwiched between 13% chrome stainless steel), delivering long-lasting sharpness and strong corrosion resistance. The handle is made of 18-8 stainless steel, which is more hygienic than a traditional wooden handle since it limits bacterial growth. Each blade is hand-sharpened by a skilled Japanese craftsman and can be resharpened over time. The knife is dishwasher safe and can withstand high-temperature, high-pressure washing cycles up to 180°C.

This Sori Yanagi knife is a 100% authentic product imported directly from Japan. It is sold new, in its original packaging. Order it on Cooking San to benefit from premium international protective packaging and tracked worldwide shipping.
