{"product_id":"xinzuo-uliassi-santoku-knife-7-5-inch","title":"7.5\" Santoku Knife - Uliassi Series (X03)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReach for this when you've got a board full of vegetables and want a blade that moves fast without fighting you. The 7.5-inch Santoku is longer than the standard 7-inch version, which gives you more belly for a single push cut through a whole head of wombok or a thick daikon round without breaking it into two strokes. It's the knife you'll default to on most weeknight prep - nimble enough for fine herb work, long enough for serious volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Santoku Advantage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Santoku has a flatter belly than a Western chef knife, which makes it naturally suited to a push-cut motion rather than rocking. That means cleaner cuts on soft vegetables like tomatoes or ripe mushrooms, where a rocking motion bruises the cut face. The 7.5-inch length sits between a standard Santoku and a full chef knife, so you get the push-cut efficiency with enough reach to handle larger tasks without switching blades. It's the kind of knife that earns a permanent spot on the left side of the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e73-Layer Damascus on a Powder Steel Core\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, heat-treated to 62 HRC. That hardness level is what lets the edge \u003cem\u003estay\u003c\/em\u003e sharp through a long prep session on hard vegetables like butternut squash and raw beetroot, where softer steels start to lose their bite. Wrapped in 73 layers of Damascus cladding for chip resistance on the shoulders, rosewood handle, hidden tang construction, and a balance point that sits naturally in a pinch grip for fatigue-free extended prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5-inch Santoku, flat belly push-cut profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood, hidden tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rapid vegetable prep, thin slicing, fine herb work, and everyday push-cut tasks from mushrooms to daikon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uliassi Series (X03)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X03-RS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the Uliassi Series 10\" Chef Knife (X03-10QF) when you need more length and a Western rock-chop for bulk prep, and the Sharpening Rod (X03-MDB) to keep both blades in condition between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44137522430003,"sku":"X03-RS","price":319.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/2_fa245100-8438-4f23-a463-a491d4c09cb9.jpg?v=1776650239","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/xinzuo-uliassi-santoku-knife-7-5-inch","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
