The Japanese word, "Santoku" means "three uses" and refers to the knife's multifunction ability, as a slicer, dicer and mincer. It combines the best of a chef's knife and a cleaver wrapped in one; featuring premium materials, construction and design, giving you the flexibility you need in the kitchen. The Gladiator Series blade is precision forged from a single piece of imported premium quality, high-carbon German steel, ensuring an ultra sharp edge with excellent wear and stain resistance. Hand sharpened to 16-18 degrees per side, the Dalstrong Gladiator Series santoku knife is a high performance kitchen workhorse, ensuring ultra-thin slicing and dicing with minimal effort, maintenance or clean up required. The wide blade allows for easy knuckle clearance and the scooping food for transfer from cutting board to pot or pan. Featuring a premium G10 garolite handle, the Gladiator Series santoku knife is carefully designed for maximum comfort and maneuverability. The knife is as pleasing to hold as it is to look at, featuring a perfectly engineered balance with a satisfying heft and presence. Perfectly weighted to handle both thicker, heavy duty cuts and more delicate detail work. The hand polished bolster adds counter weight and offers finger protection, while the triple rivets (with signature Dalstrong center rivet) in the handle ensures the highest level of strength and robustness. Included is a water and stain resistant, BPA free protective Dalstrong PerfectFit sheath. ## Features - Outstanding craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, stunning design elements, and premium materials.
