## Description

This santoku knife is precision-forged form a single piece of high-carbon German Steel, then heat tempered and hand-ground for maximum sharpness. The straight, slender blade is designed to easily slice through tough foods and has just the right amount of rock for chopping herbs or mincing onions. A full-tang handle provides a balanced, comfortable grip, and an etched Babish logo on the butt caps things off nicely. It’s a kitchen workhorse that’ll have you galloping through piles of veggies and tough cuts of meat. Excess heat and detergent from automatic dishwashers can damage or stain the blades, so dishwashers are not recommended. Do not allow blades to soak in water. Do not allow food to remain on blade after use, as this may cause stains. In most cases, persistent stains can be easily removed with a standard stainless steel cleanser & polish. Use a sharpener and honing rod between uses to keep knives sharp. It’s recommended to use a whetstone or have your knives professionally sharpened once or twice a year. (See more sharpening instructions below.) To preserve sharp edges, use knives on a wood or soft plastic cutting board. Hard surfaces such as countertops, dinner plates, or glass cutting boards will dull blades. Knives are not made to cut bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects. Love this knife and it will love you back. Use extreme caution to protect against injury. These knives are extremely sharp. I’m not kidding, I seriously mangled my finger with this knife when we were shooting promo videos, and I kinda-sorta know what I’m doing. Never use a knife as a can opener, pry bar, screwdriver, wedge, or hand tool. Never handle a knife by the blade. Keep sharp edges pointed away from you when laying a knife down. Never attempt to catch a falling knife. Keep all knives away from children. Store properly in a knife block, roll, or other safe place.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than anticipated! Pleasantly Surprised
*by G***E on May 6, 2021*

I started off with the Santoku knife, but enjoyed the knife so much that I went ahead and bought the other 2 knives in the series as well. These knives use German 1.4116 Steel, which is also known as 4116. It has a lot in common with X50CRmov15 another German steel that is used by Wustof brand knives. The primary properties of this metal is that it is very easy to sharpen, but it will need maintenance to keep that edge sharp. The hardness comes to HRC 56-58. The easiest way to keep the knives sharp is to use a honing rod between uses. I tend to wash the knife after use and then hone it before putting them away. I have had them 4 months now and they have not needed a whetstone sharpening yet. German 1.4116 and X50CRmov15 are the minimum that I will take for a decent knife. Anything lower is a budget knife. They have said that they are nearly 420HC in steel, but Buck knives use that steel to great effect, as do Gerber and Leatherman. The Babish knives come extremely sharp and will stay that way for a long time with proper maintenance. I use the Santoku knife as my general purpose knife that I use in the process while cooking something, I use the chef's knife when I need to mince, or process down vegetables or boneless meats, because of the rocking motion it makes it easiest to process fresh herbs. I use the clef knife almost like a cleaver when I need to process larger cuts of meat, as well as harder vegetables. The knives have a nice weight to them which is fairly standard in German made knives. The handles are comfortable even when you have to use them for long periods of time. The knives have held up well so far and I haven't noticed any problems with them. Only gripe that I really have is that the Chef's knife is actually quite a bit bigger than all of my other Chef's knives. It's a little over 2 inches top to bottom, which makes it hard to find a sheath for it.
