Santoku is a cross between a chef's knife (gyuto) and a chopping knife (nakiri). The tip of the blade, which is directed down from the center of the knife, makes it possible to find a more stable support and a larger cutting surface on the working surface. Well suited for cutting and shredding meat, fish, root and fruit. Santoku is a very popular common knife in Japanese homes. Thanks to the wider blade, it is very convenient to lift chopped food from the cutting board to the pot with the help of santoku.

The blade of the Clad knife is three-layered, with a cutting edge in the middle and a softer steel alloy on the sides. The cutting joint is made up of AUS-10 steel (58-59 HRC), widely used in the world of Japanese chef knives. The AUS-10 blade is characterized by good wear resistance, which is achieved by adding vanadium to the steel alloy.

The handle of the Senzo Clad knife is made of brown pakkawood of classic shape, with full tang construction, metal transition and rivet fastening.

The blade of the Senzo Clad AUS-10 is almost equal in cutting characteristics to the popular VG-10 steel, but the price of knives is significantly more affordable. Senzo Clad knives are used by both professional and home cooks in many kitchens around the world.
