The Santoku knife is becoming increasingly popular in Europe as well. The Rocking Santoku from the 5000 MCD series by Miyabi will impress you. This Japanese knife is the counterpart to the European chef's knife and is versatile in use. The high, stout Cryodur blade is double-edged and has been hardened using a specially developed process, making it particularly robust and durable. The 18 cm long blade consists of a core made from a particularly hard MicroCarbide powder steel MC63, surrounded by 100 layers of steel. It is finished with the traditional Japanese Honbazuke sharpening, resulting in exceptional sharpness that glides effortlessly through ingredients.
