Misono Molybdenum Santoku 180mm (7.1")

Misono Molybdenum Misono’s most reasonably priced line offers great edge life and an excellent fit and finish. Misono Molybdenum is well-balanced and light, feels great in the hand, and each knife is hand-inspected for superb out of the box sharpness. Why we love them: The Molybdenum series is a well priced introduction to the renowned Misono line and a great first Japanese knife. About this shape Santoku, which means ‘three virtues’ in Japanese, is an all-purpose knife with a taller blade profile than a gyutou. Its three virtues are the knife’s ability to cut fish, meat and vegetables. Santoku have a flatter ‘belly’ than gyutou and can be used comfortably with an up and down chopping motion rather than a ‘rocking’ type cut.   Specifications Handle material Wood composite Blade length 180 mm (7.1") Thickness at spine 2 mm Thickness at tip 0.7 mm Hardness (Rockwell scale) 56-58 Use & Care Handwash in warm water and towel dry Do not cut frozen foods Use a sharpeni
