Cuisine::pro iD3 Samurai Santoku Knife

The iD3 Microdot Technology creates a textured surface on the handle that significantly improves your grip. This design ensures the knife remains secure in your hand, even when wet, providing better control and safety during precise cutting tasks.

No, this knife must be hand washed only. Dishwashers can dull the blade's edge and potentially damage the matte black ceramic coating, so we recommend washing it with warm water and mild detergent, then drying it immediately.

The matte black ceramic coating serves two main purposes: it provides a non-stick, stain-resistant surface that makes slicing easier, and it adds an antibacterial layer for improved kitchen hygiene. It also protects the underlying Japanese steel from corrosion.

At 5 inches, this Santoku is more compact and agile than a traditional chef's knife. Its flatter blade profile and razor-thin edge are specifically engineered for precision mincing, dicing, and slicing, making it ideal for smaller hands or tasks requiring high maneuverability.

Yes, the Damascus pattern is primarily an aesthetic feature that gives the knife a sophisticated, timeless look. While it adds visual appeal, the actual cutting performance is driven by the high-quality Japanese steel and the precision-ground edge.

The Cuisine::pro Lifetime Guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use. It ensures that if the knife fails due to a manufacturing issue, the brand will repair or replace it.
