XITUO 7-Inch Damascus Steel Santoku Knife
Elevate your kitchen experience with the XITUO 7-inch Santoku Knife — a masterpiece of traditional Japanese-inspired craftsmanship and modern metallurgy. Whether you're a home cook or a culinary enthusiast, this knife delivers exceptional precision for slicing, dicing, chopping, mincing, and shredding with effortless control.
Premium Damascus Steel Construction
The blade is forged from a 9Cr18MoV Damascus steel core, wrapped in 33 layers of folded stainless steel on each side — creating the iconic ripple Damascus pattern that is as functional as it is beautiful. With a blade angle exceeding 60° and a 15-degree bevel edge on each side, this knife delivers a razor-sharp, smooth cut every time. The high-hardness, rust-resistant steel ensures long-lasting edge retention even with regular use.
Hand-Hammered, Non-Stick Surface
Each blade features hand-hammered pits crafted by skilled artisans. This traditional technique creates air pockets between the blade and food, preventing ingredients from sticking and making every prep task cleaner and faster.
Ergonomic Octagonal Wood Handle
The beautifully crafted octagonal handle is made from environmentally friendly resin with a wood aesthetic, offering a secure, comfortable grip for both male and female hands. Its lightweight design means you can work in the kitchen for extended sessions without fatigue. The moderate handle length (13 cm) provides excellent balance and control.
