Opinel Forged 1890 Santoku Knife

The dimples create small air pockets between the blade and the food, which prevents ingredients like potatoes or cucumbers from sticking to the knife while you chop. This allows for a smoother, faster cutting motion.

The blade is crafted from X50CrMoV15 steel. This is a high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel known for its ability to hold a sharp edge while remaining relatively easy to sharpen at home.

A full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels solid and secure in your hand during heavy-duty tasks.

A Santoku is typically shorter and lighter than a traditional chef's knife, with a flatter edge and a rounded tip. It is specifically designed for precise slicing, dicing, and mincing, making it an excellent all-purpose tool for smaller hands or faster, repetitive chopping.

While the materials are durable, we strongly recommend hand washing and drying this knife immediately after use. Dishwashers can dull the edge prematurely and the harsh detergents may damage the handle material over time.
