Santoku knife was traditionally hand-forged and precision ground according to Solingen knife art. Due to the production from 1-piece, a long life is guaranteed.The knife is perfectly balanced and ice-hardened, which gives the cutting edge a particularly long life and ensures high resistance to corrosion. The dimples in the cutting edge prevent the sticking of finely sliced food.The selected olive wood handle from Italy is naturally hard, durable and particularly comfortable to hold. Due to its individual grain, each knife is unique and therefore something very special. In addition, the high-quality end cap contains an embossed RÖSLE logo.The traditional Asian blade shape is particularly well suited for fine cutting .Knife Steel X50CrMOV15:X50CrMOV15 Alloying components:0.50% carbon higher hardness15% chromium for high corrosion resistanceup to 0.8% molybdenum additional corrosion protectionup to 0.2% vanadium higher wear resistanceDefinition - Molybdenum:This is a 5th period transition metal. The high strength, tough and hard metal has a silvery white luster. Of all the 5th period elements, it has the highest melting point, which is 2,623 °C. Like its heavy homologue tungsten, it is not attacked by non-oxidizing acids (including hydrofluoric acid). For this reason, molybdenum is used in large quantities for the production of acid-resistant stainless steels and nickel materials.
