Santoku knife has a 5 In. high density ceramic blade that is totally impervious to acids, juices, oils, salts, and other elements. Will never rust. The wider blade makes it easier to cut through larger or thicker foods, such as vegetables, meats, and poultry. Lightweight, extremely balanced in the hand. Ergonomic, 8 In. black soft grip handle. Since the ceramic blade does not absorb food elements, this knife requires just a quick rinse and wipe with a kitchen towel. Easy slide-in cover included.
