This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Herbertz Santoku (347317) is an example of a kitchen knife that draws fully from the traditions of Japanese craftsmanship, while meeting the demands of modern cooks. Santoku, which means “three virtues”, is a reference to the basic techniques of slicing, chopping and shredding, which this type of knife supports in an exceptionally efficient manner. Thanks to its versatility, the model will work well both in professional kitchens and in home use - wherever precision, ergonomics and control over cutting are important. The wide stainless steel head ensures not only resistance to corrosion, but also ease of maintenance and sharpness. The satin finish not only adds elegance to the blade, but also reduces the sticking of ingredients during use. The distinctive shape of the Santoku - with a slightly rounded back and a flat cutting edge - allows the knife to be guided smoothly by the rocking method so valued when working with vegetables and herbs. The handle, on the other hand , made of light, natural beech wood, was designed in accordance with the Japanese canon - cylindrical, lightweight and precisely balanced. It offers a comfortable grip, even with intensive use, and the reinforcement at the base increases the durability of the construction and protects against moisture penetration. This is a model for people who are looking for a combination of timeless design and everyday utility - a knife that combines simplicity of form with quality materials and efficiency of operation.
Santoku - a combination of a traditional chef's knife and a cleaver. The wide head with a cutting edge with a light belly allows both slicing in a straight motion and chopping. An ideal knife for a wide range of uses, it does well with both slicing boneless meat and chopping or shredding vegetables and fruits. It allows you to cut hard products for a long time, without worrying about hand fatigue. Professional chefs will appreciate the Japanese Santoku knife for its ability to cut high and low.
Head - wide Santoku type blade is made of high-grade stainless steel, which guarantees resistance to corrosion, easy maintenance and good sharpness retention with daily use. Thanks to its flat cutting edge and carefully selected grind, the knife offers high precision cutting, ideal for portioning, chopping and shredding ingredients. The satin finish makes the surface smooth and reduces product sticking, which is important when working with soft vegetables, fish or meat. The blade's geometry allows for smooth, controlled knife movements without excessive effort on the part of the user.
The handle - made of natural, light beech wood was maintained in the traditional Japanese aesthetics - simple, ergonomic, without unnecessary decorations. The cylindrical profile fits perfectly in the hand, allowing you to work with different slicing techniques. The smooth surface improves comfort, and the dark reinforcement at the base not only stiffens the whole structure, but also adds visual contrast. Thanks to the perfectly balanced weight distribution, the knife runs well in the hand and provides stability even during intensive work in the kitchen. It is a handle that combines aesthetics, durability and user comfort, staying true to the canons of Japanese craftsmanship.
