The blade is thin and light, keeping the knife agile for fine cutting work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the core sits stainless VG1 steel with a hardness of HRC 60, surrounded by soft stainless steel. Those three layers make the blade wafer-thin yet strong, and give the knife its distinctive look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the core is stainless, the edge holds up well with proper use and maintenance stays minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWestern shape, Japanese origins\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the santoku is originally a Japanese model, this version has a Western finish with a mahogany handle. That makes it easy to get used to if you're coming from European knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow this knife is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour or more master craftsmen work on the same knife one after another, from the first hammer blow to the final sharpening. Each of them does one thing, and has been doing it for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing steel, Kikuichi looks at strength, hardness and durability. For the santoku, that results in a stainless VG1 core that keeps the knife light and the edge sharp for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e WGA17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife type:\u003c\/strong\u003e santoku\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade type:\u003c\/strong\u003e WG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of layers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e HRC 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e double-sided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBevel angle ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50:50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle material:\u003c\/strong\u003e mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kikuichi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57979244151167,"sku":"858243005357DS","price":193.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/5366\/4127\/files\/kikuichi-wg-santoku-170-mm-zijaanzicht.jpg?v=1786655716","url":"https:\/\/parrotshopping.com\/en\/products\/kikuichi-wg-santoku-170-mm","provider":"Parrot Shopping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
