Premium 7" Santoku Knife - Shogun Series ELITE by Dalstrong | Japanese Kitchen Knife for Slicing, Dicing & Chopping | Perfect for Home Chefs & Professional Kitchens

The Shogun Series 7” santoku knife is a ruthless kitchen warrior, ready at your command to unleash all manner of slicing, dicing and mincing mayham. The Japanese word ‘santoku’, roughly translates to meaning ‘three virtues’, indicating the versatility of this style of knife and the type of cuts it excels at (slicing, dicing and mincing). The blade is typically shorter than a chef’s knife with noticeably different blade geometry. This includes a sheep’s foot rounded end and straighter edge, making this blade a push-cut master. The santoku knife is often claimed to be a fusion between a chef’s knife and a vegetable cleaver or nakiri, giving you the benefits of both. ‘Rockhollow’ divots create tiny air pockets to aid in food release and minimize friction. Idea for produce, and boneless meats and fish. Put one in your chef bag today!

Put a lion in your hands! The Shogun Series of knives are blades to build a career on. 

Painstakingly crafted over 60 days using the highest quality materials, the Shogun Series chef is both a razor-sharp kitchen powerhouse and artistic statement in premium design and workmanship.

The Shogun Series blade is precision forged from a single piece of ultra premium Japanese high-carbon AUS10-V steel with 66-alternating layers of SUS410 damacus cladding for stain-resistance and durability. Precise cryogenic tempering with liquid nitrogen increases the steel's crystalline structure, enhancing strength, flexibility and hardness.

Hand-polishing reveals a magnificent visual pattern, Dalstrong’s ‘Tsunami Rose’. The super-steel core possesses extra high carbon levels, allowing for scalpel-like sharpness with exceptionally long lasting edge retention. Each knife is hand-finished in the Honbazuke 3-step method, creating a beautiful mirror polished edge at a staggeringly acute 8-10 degrees per side.

Beautifully engraved into the blade near the bolster is the Dalstrong lionhead logo for further refinement.

The Shogun Series handle is meticulously constructed of G-10 Garolite, an incredibly strong military-grade inert and non-porous fiberglass-like material. It is highly impervious to both heat and moisture with life-long durability. The carefully engineered ergonomic handle is designed for superior hand control and comfort. while simultaneously being stabilized with an engraved end-cap for agile performance. To further enhance the beauty, an intricate copper mosaic pin adorns the center rivet.

A premium -quality polymer Dalstrong PerfectFit saya (sheath) with embossed Dalstrong logo and pin is included with the set to ensure your blade is carefully protected.
