1.Blade Material for Santoku Knife

Look for high-quality stainless steel or high-carbon steel. Stainless steel is rust-resistant and easy to maintain, while high-carbon steel offers superior sharpness but requires more care to prevent rust.

2.Blade Length for Santoku Knife

Santoku knives typically range from 5 to 7 inches in length. Choose a length that feels comfortable and suits your cooking style. A 7-inch blade offers more versatility, while a 5-inch blade is more maneuverable.

3.Blade Edge for Santoku Knife

Consider whether you prefer a plain edge or a Granton (dimpled) edge. The Granton edge helps prevent food from sticking to the blade, which can be useful for slicing thin or sticky ingredients.

4. Handle Comfort and Balance

The handle should be comfortable and provide a secure grip. Materials like wood, resin, or synthetic composites are common. Make sure the knife is well-balanced, with the weight evenly distributed between the handle and the blade.

Santoku knives are generally lighter than Western chef’s knives, but there can still be variations in weight. Choose a knife that feels comfortable and easy to control.

6. Durability and Construction

Look for a full tang design, where the blade extends through the handle, as it offers better durability and balance. The knife should feel sturdy, with no loose parts or weak points.

The Main Processes of A Santoku Knife

Material cutting, straightening, heat treatment, welding, water grinding, sanding, sharpening, injection molding, logo printing, cleaning, assembly, inspection, and packaging. The key process for knives is heat treatment, which generally takes about 3 hours. The heat treatment time varies depending on the blade material. If the hardness is too low, the knife won't be sharp enough; if it's too high, the knife may easily break. Typically, the hardness for kitchen and dining knives is between 50-54 HRC. After heat treatment, the surface of the finished product has a layer of texture.
