More about this product

The Benifjui santoku knife 16.5cm is part of the Shun family and is an elegant but durable Japanese knife. This knife range is Meredith’s favourite and she uses a selection of them in our cooking school.

The full tang provides durability and prevents your hand from fatigue under prolonged use.

The fluted blade helps to create an air pocket between the blade and the food allowing the food to fall away from the blade more easily.

The Pakkawood handle is comfortable to hold and very durable. The handle is made from compressed and laminated Pakkawood that is water-resistant.

Each blade is constructed from 8A Stainless Steel and is treated with a 3 Chamfering Process which reduces the friction against food and the blade. The edge on the blade after manufacturing is finished with a special grinding process which results in a smoother blade, thus giving the blade a superior cutting edge and requiring less force or power for cutting as the blade has an extremely sharp cutting edge.

Care and use:

  • This Knife is NOT designed to be used on bone or very thick-skinned vegetables.
  • Hand wash only (no dishwasher) and dry immediately after use.
  • Shun Knives have a limited lifetime warranty
