Santoku Knife: The Essence of Japanese Tradition in the Kitchen

What a chef's knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku knife is for Japan and all of Asia - so versatile in shape, weight and blade that it can be used to grind and mince herbs, vegetables and fruit, as well as to prepare fish and meat. The sharp blade of the Santoku allows for both regular cuts and very thin cuts - it is therefore now indispensable in all kitchens in the world.

Recommended use: Cut of vegetables - minced - beaten
Blade length: 17cm

THE CLASSIC SERIES

The Handles: made of synthetic material and joined with a triple riveting ensure a perfect seal, excellent stability and guarantee dishwasher safe.
The Blades: are obtained using the best steels and combining the most qualified elements (chromium 15% - carbon 0.5% - molybdenum - vanadium).
The creation of a WUSTHOF forged knife requires the passage of about 40 processing cycles.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance prolongs the life of the knife, makes work easier and safer and reduces the consumption of the wire. Some advices:
- Pay attention that the knives placed in the dishwasher collide with other objects; the blades could be damaged.
- Knives guaranteed for dishwashers that are not immediately washed in the machine should be rinsed under the water tap to remove the remains of highly corrosive foods (fats, vinegar, fruit juices).
- Make sure if the knives no longer cut perfectly, have them rectified or sharpened by professionals in the sector.

FORM AND FUNCTION
The Premana Professional line was created by analyzing and solving, in every detail, the problems faced by the most attentive professional who uses these working tools on a daily basis. By making the green knives of the Premana Professional line, Coltellerie Sanelli S.r.l. has significantly improved the concept of safety, reliability, and hygiene in a decisive way, paying attention not only to the hardness, flexibility and shearing power of the blades, but also to the ergonomic shape of the handle.

THE BLADES.
The convex shape of the blade provides effective support when considerable effort is required on the part of the user and is also characterized by: high hardness (54-56 HRC), good flexibility, high shearing power, long edge life, edge shape especially designed for professional use, and excellent ease of resharpening.

HANDLES.
Exclusive ergonomic design of the handle resulting from special studies carried out at qualified University Institutes (research unit called EPM: Ergonomics of Posture and Movement at the Polytechnic University of Milan) and validated by computerized experimental tests.

ANTIBACTERIAL PROTECTION
Sanelli and Biomaster have developed permanent antibacterial protection for the handles of Premana line knives through the use of silver ions.
Biomaster is a silver ion-based, inorganic additive suitable for imparting antibacterial characteristics to plastics that safely inhibits microbial growth from the first few minutes, reaching almost total inhibition within 24 hours. Once incorporated into a product, Biomaster becomes an integral part of it providing safe, effective and inexhaustible antimicrobial protection.
Laboratory tests have shown that Biomaster, incorporated into the handles of Sanelli Premana Professional Line knives, is effective in the permanent microbiological eradication of Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) to the extent of 99.7 percent, obtaining ISO22196:20111 certification.
