The G-46 is a full sized Santoku knife. Santoku is a Japanese word meaning ‘three virtues’ used to describe the primary kitchen functions of slicing, dicing and mincing. The shape of the blade makes it ideal for Western style cooking as the blade is flat, deep and powerful — excellent for cutting up heavy root vegetables such as sweet potato and squash. The G-46 is made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, which holds a razor-sharp edge and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, and carefully weighted via sand-filled handles, it achieves optimum balance. Its smooth contours and seamless construction eliminate food and dirt traps for enhanced safety and hygiene. The acute 15-degree angle cutting edge offers superior performance and edge retention.
