🔬 German Engineering for Unmatched Sharpness

The MAD SHARK Santoku knife’s blade is crafted in Germany from high-carbon X50CrMoV15 steel. Heat-treated to 56–58 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale, it combines remarkable edge retention with corrosion resistance. The hollow-edge (“Granton”) divots along the blade reduce food adhesion, so sliced ingredients fall away easily—perfect for swift, continuous chopping of vegetables, meats, and herbs.

⚖️ Balanced Ergonomics & Military-Grade Handle

Featuring a full tang construction and mosaic-rivet handle, this Santoku knife maintains perfect balance between blade and grip. The high-polymer handle material offers a secure, non-slip hold even when wet. Its ergonomic contour minimizes wrist strain and finger fatigue, so you can prepare large batches without discomfort.

🍳 Versatility in the Kitchen

The Santoku’s iconic “three virtues”—slice, dice, chop—reflect its all-purpose design. This 8″ blade is slender enough for delicate tasks like slicing fish and vegetables, yet sturdy enough to handle meats and tougher produce. Use it for:

• Fine mincing of garlic and herbs
• Even slicing of tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions
• Chopping nuts and ginger
• Precision portioning of meats and fish

🙋 People Also Ask

What makes a Santoku knife different from a chef’s knife?

While a chef’s knife typically has a curved blade for rocking cuts, a Santoku has a flatter edge and “sheep’s foot” tip for straight chopping motions. The hollow edge also prevents sticking.

How do I maintain the ultra-sharp edge?

Hand wash only with mild detergent and dry immediately. Use a honing rod regularly and sharpen with a whetstone when needed—typically every 6–12 months, depending on usage.

Is high-carbon steel worth it?

Yes—high-carbon stainless steel holds a sharper edge and resists wear better than lower-grade steels, making it ideal for professional-grade knives.

Can I use this knife for bone-in meat?

While it can handle light trimming, avoid cutting through large bones. Use a cleaver for heavy tasks to preserve the Santoku’s fine edge.

💡 Care & Maintenance Tips

• Always hand wash; never use a dishwasher.
• Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Store in a knife block or magnetic strip to protect the edge.
• Hone blade before each use to maintain alignment.
