They put their heart and soul into even the parts that customers cannot see, and their perfection is highly praised by professional chefs and they are widely used both in Japan and overseas. These knives are made with no compromise on quality, so much so that they captivate those who use them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSantoku translates to “3 virtues”, good for fish, meat and vegetables. Though they are a taller knife, which makes control a little easier, the santoku is generally smaller in length and perfect for any small prep job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromax steel is much more corrosion resistant than high-carbon steels, but it’s categorized as semi-stainless. That means that it’s not as prone to rusting, but can still form a patina over time and react with acidic vegetables and fruit. It sharpens very nicely and holds an edge well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromax  1% Carbon, 5% Chromium, 0.9% Manganese, 1.2% Molybdenum and 0.5% Vanadium\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"With Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53065092694332,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/7754\/2972\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_e60d6eed-5a0a-4588-8f4e-ab04f5434090.jpg?v=1778891959","url":"https:\/\/www.withknives.com\/products\/takamura-santoku-165-cromax","provider":"With Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
