That creates the hypnotic wave pattern, but more importantly, it makes the blade ultra-hard and ultra-sharp. The edge lasts 3 to 4 times longer than a regular knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eDoes the resin and wood handle hold up over time?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eYes. The epoxy resin encases the wood and protects it from water and impacts. The handle won't crack, swell, or warp even with heavy daily use. Just don't leave it soaking in the sink for hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eWill the blade rust?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eDamascus steel contains some carbon for hardness, so it can react slightly to moisture if you leave it wet for a long time. Hand wash it, dry it right after use, and it'll never rust. No dishwasher, ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eIs the knife actually versatile or just marketing hype?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eActually versatile. The Santoku is the everyday knife in Japan: vegetables, meats, fish, herbs, it handles everything. The wide, flat blade makes transferring to the pan easy, and the ultra-precise edge lets you slice thin or mince without crushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eIs the knife heavy or does it tire out your hand?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eNo, it's lightweight and perfectly balanced between the blade and handle. You can use it for 30 minutes straight without wrist strain. That's feedback we get consistently: the Santoku fatigues you way less than a Western chef's knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eHow do I sharpen my Santoku without damaging it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eUse a Japanese whetstone 1000-3000 grit, never a pull-through sharpener that destroys the cutting angle. Sharpen 2-3 times a year for normal home use. If you're not comfortable doing it, a pro will handle it in 5 minutes for a few bucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Takumiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57561611927883,"sku":"couteau-santoku-umi--d--","price":119.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/1649\/2363\/files\/couteau-santoku-japonais-acier-damas-67-couches.png?v=1781263787","url":"https:\/\/takumiya.fr\/en\/products\/japanese-damascus-santoku-knife","provider":"Takumiya","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
