7.00 inch, Damascus Steel Santoku Knife

HENCKELS Compass Damascus blades are as beautiful to the eye as they are functional in the hand. Featuring an authentic 23-layer Damascus pattern that surrounds a strong D60 core steel, Compass Damascus blades encourage long-lasting sharpness for the home cook and aspiring chefs alike.

The core, forged from D60 steel, is protected by a stunning 23 layers of high-quality stainless steel. The 23 layers of steel are meticulously folded, heated, and forged, creating the signature wave-like Damascus pattern. The beautiful pattern is further enhanced with a final darkened acid wash.

This 7-inch hollow edge santoku is perfect for all kitchen tasks. Santoku - Japanese for "three virtues" - excels at three cutting techniques: expertly mince garlic, slice cucumber, and dice onions with this Asian all-rounder. The hollow edge features a blade that has small indentations, known as grantons, that prevent food from sticking while cutting.
