Mercer Culinary Renaissance Santoku Knife

The shortened bolster exposes the entire length of the blade, which allows you to sharpen the knife all the way to the heel without the bolster getting in the way.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon steel and the Delrin handle, you should always hand wash and dry it immediately after use.

The full tang means the steel extends through the entire length of the handle, providing superior balance, strength, and stability during heavy chopping tasks.

A Santoku is designed for efficient slicing, dicing, and mincing. Its shorter, flatter blade profile makes it particularly effective for precision vegetable prep and quick, rhythmic chopping.

While the steel is stain-resistant, it is still high-carbon. To prevent corrosion, avoid leaving the knife wet or submerged in the sink, and ensure it is thoroughly dried before storing.

Delrin is a high-performance polymer known for its extreme durability and resistance to heat and moisture. It provides a secure, comfortable grip that won't warp or degrade over time like wood handles might.
