LamsonSharp Fire Forged 5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

LamsonSharp Fire Forged 5-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife. LamsonSharp Fire series forged kitchen knives feature beautiful translucent acrylic handles, with a fire-like pattern (fire pattern varies from knife to knife). They are extremely resistant to water. Prolonged exposure to moisture won't effect the performance or appearance of these knives. Air pockets along the blade edge (known as granton edge, hollow edge or kullenschliff) help to keep the knife moving freely and reduce sticking. Santoku knives have a sheep's foot blade style - meaning the gently curved tip of the blade visually resembles an animal hoof. The word Santoku means Three Virtues in Japanese, which refers to the tasks of slicing, dicing and mincing. The blades are one-piece full tang, made from hardened and tempered high-carbon stainless steel from Solingen, Germany. Three nickel silver rivets hold the handles in place on these perfectly balanced and weighted knives. The taper-ground blades are polished, hand-edged and honed. Individually packaged in a black wooden gift box, the LamsonSharp Fire Series knives make for a stunning gift. All LamsonSharp knives are covered under the Sharp For Life program. All LamsonSharp knife owners can have their knives sharpened by the craftsmen who made them, for life. Lamson & Goodnow, the makers of LamsonSharp knives, have been handcrafting cutlery since 1837 in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. Lifetime warranty. Made in the USA. Blade style: 5-Inch Kullenschliff Santoku
