About the Shape - Santoku

The Santoku (三徳) is a versatile multi-use Japanese knife, famous for the translation of its name, ‘three virtues’. The three virtues are said to refer to the Santoku’s versatility in use for chopping, slicing and dicing, or the primary range of ingredients that it can be used for: fish, meat and vegetables.

About the Steel - Molybdenum

Molybdenum refers to steel that is alloyed with molybdenum (Mo), which increases the strength of the steel at high temperatures, making it more resistant to wear and tear. It also improves the grain structure of the steel, which enhances its resistance to corrosion. This makes molybdenum steel a popular choice for kitchen knives, as these properties are highly beneficial for a tool that is frequently used and exposed to various elements.
