This product is sold as a case of 6 individual 7-inch Santoku knives. It is designed primarily for professional kitchens or culinary students who need multiple units.

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. The wood handles can warp or crack when exposed to high heat and moisture, so hand washing and drying immediately after use is required to maintain their condition.

Stamped knives like these are generally lighter and more flexible than forged blades. While they may not have the same heft, they offer excellent precision and are often more comfortable for repetitive, all-purpose tasks like chopping vegetables.

The 16-degree double-edge is sharper than the standard 20-degree angle found on many Western-style knives. This creates a thinner, more precise cutting edge that glides through ingredients with less resistance.

Yes, the handle is designed for a secure, comfortable grip during long shifts. However, because it is wood, it requires proper care—avoid soaking it in water and consider applying a food-safe mineral oil occasionally to keep the wood from drying out.
