The Knifesblade™ SERIES 1 7-in. Santoku is a beautiful, Nordic-inspired knife that many cooks today have added to their kitchen favorites. A knife of many talents, a Santoku easily handles all the essential kitchen cutting tasks. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, the Knifesblade™ SERIES 1 Santoku is light, agile, and very easy to maneuver. There's just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which just adds to the Santoku's versatility.
The Santoku is as easy to use as a chef's knife and is especially well suited to a down-and-forward cutting motion (push cut). The design allows for release of any moist foods from the blade.

HOW TO CLEAN AND CARE FOR YOUR KNIFES
The Vikings would clean and maintain their knifes by hand every day. Their forging of blades was world renowned, and the durability was unmatched lasting generations. With the right care, Knifesblade knives can often last just as long using the right cleaning and drying methods.
Cleaning
your knife - We love the ease of putting items in
the dishwasher. We know that telling you to wash your knives by hand is an extra step, but trust us, it is worth it. Prevent aggressive cleaning agents like
powdered steel cleaners, this will cause premature wear and tear to your knife and handle, we recommend cleaning it by hand using lukewarm water, mild dish
soap and a non-abrasive cloth or sponge.
Knifesblade knives are made from our exclusive
formulation of steel and can withstand the occasional dishwasher, but only at the LOW temperature setting and on the top rack with non-heat drying.
If you go down the dishwasher route (we recommend that you didn’t… but some of our customers are on auto pilot cleaning mode) keep your knives separate from other items in the dishwasher to avoid them from bumping into each other during the
wash cycle.
Dishwasher
pods often contain aggressive chemicals which can damage the surface of the handle and steel. So here is our PSA… putting your knives in the dishwasher can
shorten their lifespan and reduce their edge retention making the edge dull and making the handle potentially fade. Plus, it will void the lifetime warranty.
OK, I washed
them by hand, now what?
After your hand washed knives are clean and dry, where you put them can also play a key role in making your knife last longer. It’s best for Knifesblade knives to have
their own space away from other tools and kitchen gadgets. A knife block is the preferable means of
storage to really look after your knife, but drawer organizers or protective sleeves can also work. If you put them in a drawer, be careful and reach
into a drawer with caution – Knifesblade knives are very sharp!
My handle
looks dull and tarnished - what should I do?
Cleaning, even by hand, does come with some unwelcome side effect: the surface of the
handle may become grey or faded. While this is not unhygienic or dangerous, it does look dull. You can simply restore some color by rubbing a drop of cooking
oil into the handle when required, bringing it back to life and giving it a new sheen. If you take the time to give your knife some proper care and attention,
then you’ll be able to enjoy it like a real Viking!
