Red wood handle

Meet the Japanese all-rounder, a favorite in kitchens worldwide. The 7-inch Santoku, or "three virtues" knife, is the master of slicing, dicing, and mincing. It's the perfect, fast-moving partner for all your daily prep, especially vegetables.

The Santoku Advantage

Unlike a curved Western chef knife, the Santoku's flatter profile is built for a fast, efficient "push-cutting" motion. This gives you laser-precise results, paper-thin slices of vegetables, and makes quick work of fish and proteins. It's nimble, balanced, and a true joy to use.

A Classic, No-Fuss Workhorse

This blade is crafted from classic German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) stainless steel. This is the trusted steel of professional kitchens, loved for its perfect balance of sharpness, durability, and extreme corrosion resistance. It's tough, easy to sharpen, and built to last. The full-tang construction means one solid piece of steel runs from the blade's tip to the handle's end, giving you superior strength and a confident, balanced feel. The classic red wood handle is secured with stainless steel rivets, providing a timeless look and a comfortable, secure grip.

Supreme Series · X02

The all-rounder you reach for first

A santoku earns its keep on the daily board — vegetables, boneless meat, herbs. This Supreme Series blade keeps things simple and honest: solid German 1.4116 stainless, no cladding, no marketing layers, just a clean 7" profile that pushes through an onion and rocks back over herbs. It is the workhorse of the X02 range, priced to be used hard rather than displayed.

Why a santoku

Flat profile, fast hands

The santoku's flatter belly favours straight push cuts over the long rock of a chef's knife. The tall blade face shields your knuckles and scoops a board of diced veg in one pass. At 7" and 193g it stays nimble through a full prep session without fatigue.

The steel

Solid German 1.4116, 56-58 HRC

Forged from German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) — a molybdenum-vanadium stainless that German and Australian kitchens have trusted for decades. This is a solid blade, not a clad or Damascus one: one consistent steel from spine to edge. Vacuum heat treatment brings it to 56-58 HRC, a hardness tuned for easy resharpening and real corrosion resistance over chasing the last point of edge retention.

In the hand

Red wood, full tang, 193g

The handle is shaped from red wood, set with stainless steel rivets and a full tang that runs the length of the grip for balance and durability. Hand-ground and polished. At 193g the knife sits forward enough to drive a push cut but light enough to stay quick. Hand wash and dry — this steel is stainless, not stain-proof.

FAQs

Is this santoku Damascus steel?

No. It is a solid German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) stainless blade — one consistent steel, no Damascus layering and no cladding. The patterned look of Damascus is not part of this knife.

What is the blade hardness?

56-58 HRC, achieved with vacuum heat treatment. That range is chosen for corrosion resistance and easy resharpening, which suits a daily-use santoku.

How sharp is the edge out of the box?

It ships with a 15±1° edge per side, ground and polished at the factory. Ready to use on arrival; a few passes on a honing rod keep it keen between sharpenings.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No — hand wash and dry only. Dishwasher heat, detergent and knocking against other items will dull the edge and mark the red wood handle.

What is the blade length and weight?

The blade is 7" (186mm) and the knife weighs 193g — a nimble all-rounder that stays light through a full prep session.

What is a santoku good for versus a chef's knife?

A santoku has a flatter profile suited to straight push cuts and chopping, where a chef's knife favours a rocking motion. The santoku also has a taller face for scooping ingredients off the board.

Where is it made?

Yangjiang, China — Xinzuo's own factory, where the blade is vacuum heat treated, water-ground and the handle hand-finished.
