Berkel delivers the blade with the 20° grinding angle that is standard in Europe. And it has a usable sharpness and edge retention: in the test, the blade only needed to be retightened after five weeks of frequent use. At only 155 grams, this model is the lightest Santoku tested.
Product details
The knife for meat, fish, and vegetables
A robust knife with a balanced ratio of weight and rigidity. This universal kitchen helper features traditional Japanese design for chopping and cutting meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables, even from large pieces. The characteristic grooves make it easier to release slices.
Details:
The blade is made from 1.4116-x50 cr mo v15 steel with a thickness of 3 mm, ensuring a precise cut. This consistently precise cutting is combined with remarkable durability; after heat treatment, a hardness of 59/60 HRC is achieved, providing a perfect balance between stiffness and tension. Grinding, hardening, satin finishing, and sharpening are performed using traditional techniques. The front ring nut ensures a perfect locking of the blade. More grip = more safety: The special thermoplastic polymer increases grip in wet conditions. The rear ring nut guarantees perfect balance by incorporating steel balls. A technical knife handle made from thermoplastic polymer offers a direct grip for maximum ergonomics during use and to suggest the correct grip.
