Vanax Santoku Japanese Chef Knife Blank - VXC01
The santoku is the workhorse of the Japanese home kitchen. A flatter edge and shallow tip make it forgiving to learn on, and the compact length keeps it nimble in tight spaces. The blade measures 175 mm, 255 mm overall.
Vanax is the answer to the toughest environments. Nitrogen alloying replaces carbon in the corrosion equation, giving practically unmatched rust resistance at full working hardness.
Steel sourced directly from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, and heat treated professionally by Voestalpine before it ships. Every blank arrives at working hardness, ready to finish.
