Dexter-Russell V-Lo Santoku Knife

A hollow ground blade features a concave grind that reduces surface area, which helps prevent food from sticking to the side of the knife while you slice. This design allows for thinner, more precise cuts, making it ideal for vegetables and proteins.

The V-Lo handle uses a patented soft-touch material that provides a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet. It balances a comfortable, cushioned feel with the structural firmness required for professional-grade control.

This blade is crafted from stain-free, high-carbon steel. While it offers the edge retention of high-carbon steel, the stain-free composition makes it significantly more resistant to corrosion and discoloration than traditional carbon steel blades.

NSF certification means the knife meets rigorous standards for public health and safety, specifically regarding the materials used and the ease of cleaning. It ensures the knife is constructed to prevent bacteria buildup and is safe for use in professional food environments.

To maintain the precision of the factory-honed edge, we recommend regular use of a honing steel to realign the blade. When the edge eventually dulls, it can be sharpened using a whetstone or a professional sharpening service to restore its performance.
