Hand-Finished in Norfolk.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5\" Santoku is the ultimate compact all-rounder for quick, precise prep. Its shorter blade and flatter cutting edge make it incredibly agile for rapid chopping, dicing, and mincing on smaller boards where a full sized chef's knife feels like overkill. The Worstead range bridges the gap between premium Japanese aesthetics and rugged Western reliability. It is built for the home cook who wants a beautiful, high-performing tool that can still take a beating on a busy Tuesday night, letting you stop wrestling with blunt steel and simply enjoy cooking again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Steel: 67-Layer Damascus\u003c\/b\u003e At its core is Japanese AUS-10 steel. This hard cutting core takes a razor-sharp edge and holds onto it through heavy daily use. It is wrapped in 67 layers of folded Damascus steel, which doesn't just look striking on a magnetic rack, the softer layers of cladding steel help the knife with improved stainless and shock absorbing qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Handle: Heavy-Duty G10\u003c\/b\u003e The Worstead handles have a classic, triple-riveted Western profile for uncompromising leverage and comfort. The handle is machined from G10, a dense resin laminate that simply does not care about hot water, acidic juices, or the general mess of a busy kitchen. It fills the palm naturally and locks in securely, preventing any blade twist when your hands are wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Norvic Difference: Hand-Finished in Norfolk\u003c\/b\u003e A premium santoku knife needs an edge you can trust straight out of the box. That is why we finish this blade in-house. We refine the factory edge on our water-cooled Tormek system, hone it, and polish it with 1-micron diamond suspension. This creates an edge that bites instantly and glides effortlessly through ingredients with zero sawing required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCore Steel:\u003c\/b\u003e Japanese AUS-10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/b\u003e 67-Layer Damascus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHandle:\u003c\/b\u003e Ultra-Durable G10 (Western Profile)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Edge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-finished to 1 Micron (Mirror Polish)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand wash only and dry immediately.
