The SCANPAN Classic Steel 18cm Santoku Knife is designed for precision slicing, fine dicing, and efficient food preparation. Inspired by traditional Japanese knife design, the Santoku blade shape offers excellent control when preparing vegetables, meat, fish, and herbs. Its wider blade and balanced construction allow smooth chopping motions while maintaining accuracy and stability during cutting.
The blade features a scalloped (Granton) edge, which creates small air pockets between the blade and food to reduce sticking. This design helps ingredients release easily from the blade, making it ideal for producing thin, clean slices and consistent cuts when preparing vegetables or delicate foods.
Crafted from high-quality German stainless steel, the blade offers outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. Each blade is precision taper-ground to achieve a refined hairline finish, improving cutting efficiency while helping protect against staining and corrosion. Hardened to approximately HRC 56 on the Rockwell hardness scale, the knife provides a balanced combination of edge retention, strength, and easy maintenance.
Designed with SCANPAN’s renowned Danish design principles, the knife features an ergonomic trilobal handle that provides a comfortable and secure grip during extended food preparation. The rounded blade spine improves finger comfort, while the ergonomic bolster enhances stability and control when chopping or slicing ingredients.
