Hammer Stahl 5.5" Razor Sharp Edge Santoku Knife 6310

The Japanese word santoku translates to “three virtues” or “three uses," referring to the three types of cuts the knife is made for: slicing, dicing, and mincing. The 5.5" blade can handle both precision work and medium to large prep tasks. Our unique deep granton edge helps keep food from sticking while chopping.

Hammer Stahl knives are made in the tradition of the great German knife makers, but with a patented new design and a manufacturing process that allows them to be affordable. Hammer Stahl knives are coveted by professional chefs for their razor sharp cutting edge, hand forged quality and quad tang design, which makes them some of the more balanced knives in the world today.
