5 Inch Damascus Santoku Knife, 67 Layers Hammered Steel, Leadwood

The 5-inch Damascus Santoku knife pairs a high-carbon steel core with 67 precision-folded layers to deliver dependable cutting performance for daily meal prep. Balanced geometry and a keen double-bevel edge make quick work of slicing proteins, chopping vegetables, and portioning produce with minimal effort.

• 67-Layer Damascus Construction: A durable high-carbon core is flanked by two 33-layer stainless clads, delivering strong edge retention and reliable corrosion resistance.
• Precision 5-Inch Blade Profile: Measuring roughly 5 inches long and 2.5 millimeters thick, this midsize blade bridges the gap between a paring knife and a chef knife for maximum versatility.
• 15-Degree Double Bevel Edge: Hand-sharpened to a narrow 15-degree angle on each side, creating a clean, gliding cut through fibrous vegetables and tender proteins alike.
• Natural Ebony Handle Frame: Ergonomically sculpted woodland material matches your grip contour while locking to a reinforced 430 stainless steel die-cast base for lasting stability.
• Tsuchime Hammed Surface: A dimpled texture breaks surface tension to reduce ingredient sticking, allowing smoother forward-and-back motion and simpler rinsing.
• Symmetrical Right and Left Use: Evenly ground sides distribute cutting force equally, so ambidextrous users avoid wrist strain during repetitive mincing tasks.
• HRC 60± Heat Treatment: Firmly tempered to a Rockwell hardness that maintains a polished edge over many weeks of home or light commercial use.
• Dedicated Prep Application: Optimized for controlled slicing and dicing rather than heavy impact work, keeping the delicate edge intact when avoiding bone and frozen items.

This santoku knife reduces kitchen prep time by combining secure hand positioning with a glide-through blade that keeps ingredients neatly stacked. The weighted balance and anti-adhesive finish lessen repetitive wrist movements, making weekend cooking sessions feel quicker and far more organized.
