7" Santoku Knife - Master Series (B30)
The 7" Santoku from the Master series is Xinzuo's flat-profile all-rounder, built for push cuts and clean slicing. A 67-layer Damascus blade wraps a 10Cr15CoMoV core, hardened to HRC 60±2 and ground to 15° per side. The figured sycamore handle sits over a full tang for balance through long prep sessions. Hand wash only.

DESCRIPTION
Reach for this when the zucchini needs to be even coins or the capsicum needs a clean brunoise. The 7-inch Santoku's flat profile sits flush against the board on a push cut, so the whole edge contacts the food at once rather than rolling through on a curve.
The Push-Cut Specialist
A Santoku doesn't rock like a chef knife. It pushes straight down, which is exactly what you want when uniform slices matter. The 67-layer Damascus cladding wraps a 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core that's vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness means the edge stays keen between sessions, not just for the first week after sharpening.
Figured Sycamore, Full-Tang Balance
The handle is figured sycamore, a dense hardwood with a rippled grain that's different on every piece. It sits low in the hand so you can choke up close to the blade for detailed vegetable work without your knuckles hitting the board. One unbroken piece of steel runs from the tip to the butt, so the weight sits right on your pinch grip during a long prep session.

MASTER SERIES · B30
The Nimble All-Rounder
The santoku is the knife you reach for without thinking. A flatter profile than a chef's knife means it sits down on the board for clean push cuts, while the shorter 178mm blade keeps it nimble through vegetables, herbs, fish and boneless meat. The Master series builds that workhorse on a 67-layer Damascus blade with a 10Cr15CoMoV core, so daily use comes with real edge performance.

WHY A SANTOKU
Flat Profile, Push Cuts, One Knife
The santoku's near-flat edge is made for the down-and-forward push cut rather than the rocking motion of a Western chef's knife. The edge stays in contact with the board, so slices fall clean and even. At 208g it has enough heft to drive through dense vegetables yet stays light enough to mince herbs all afternoon. If you only own one knife, this is the shape that does the most.

BLADE & STEEL
67-Layer Damascus, 10Cr15CoMoV Core
The cutting core is 10Cr15CoMoV, vacuum heat treated and deep frozen to HRC 60±2 for a hard, fine edge that holds. It's clad in 67 layers of Damascus over 316/316L stainless steel, giving the blade its flowing pattern and added corrosion resistance. The spine measures 2.2mm and the edge is ground to 15° per side for clean, low-resistance slicing.

HANDLE & BALANCE
Figured Sycamore Over a Full Tang
The handle is figured sycamore wood, set on a full tang and secured with a mosaic brass rivet for balance that carries through long prep. The tang runs the length of the handle, so weight sits where you grip and the knife feels planted, not blade-heavy. Hand wash and dry it after use to keep both the wood and the Damascus blade in good order.

FAQs
Is the blade real Damascus?
Yes. It's 67 layers of Damascus steel forged over a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core, with 316/316L stainless cladding making up 66 of those layers, 33 each side.
How hard is the steel?
The blade is hardened to 60±2 HRC after vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle, which gives a fine, durable edge that holds well in daily use.
What's the edge angle?
Ground to 15 degrees per side. That's a keen, slightly steeper angle than most Western knives, suited to clean push cuts.
What is a santoku good for compared to a chef's knife?
The santoku has a flatter, shorter blade built for push cuts rather than rocking. It's nimble for vegetables, herbs, fish and boneless meat, and it's a natural one-knife all-rounder.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash and dry it after use. The dishwasher can damage the figured sycamore handle and the Damascus blade.
What handle does it have?
Figured sycamore wood over a full tang, set with a mosaic brass rivet for balance and a planted feel in the hand.
What warranty does it carry?
A lifetime warranty direct from the brand, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee through xinzuo.com.au.
