Made in Japan.
The Santoku knife from the ZWILLING TAKUMI series is a genuine original, a knife made in Japan. Made in the Japanese knife-making city of Seki, this Santoku knife is the result of traditional oriental craftsmanship combined with German engineering skills.
The ultra-sharp Honbazuke honing is particularly worthy of note. The blade was hand-ground in Seki by true masters of their craft and is the result of high-precision skilled work. With our brand new premium steel as the middle layer, 101 layers of steel were embossed, resulting in a blade that is in a class of its own: a hardness of 63 HRC, great initial sharpness and edge retention and at the same time maximum flexibility for cutting, roll-chopping and mincing.
A composition that takes the user to a new dimension of Santoku knives in terms of hardness, edge retention and sharpness. Three virtues of a premium knife, brought to unity in this work of Japanese forging craft.
