Detailed Specifications:

• Product Name: 7-Inch Japanese Hammered Santoku Knife
• Knife Type: Santoku Knife (Japanese Chef's Knife), great for slicing, dicing, and mincing different foods.
• Blade Length: 7 inches (about 17.8 cm), a good size for many kitchen tasks, offering reach and control.
• Blade Material: High-Carbon Stainless Steel. This strong steel gives excellent sharpness, holds its edge very well, and resists rust, ensuring it works great for a long time.
• Hardness: Typically HRC 54-58. This level means the blade is tough enough to hold a sharp edge but still flexible enough to resist chipping, making it suitable for everyday kitchen use.
• Blade Finish: Hand-hammered (Tsuchime) surface. This special texture reduces friction and stops food from sticking to the blade, making cutting smoother and faster.
• Handle Material: Durable Black Resin Handle, fixed securely with steel pins. This handle is designed to be comfortable and provide a firm grip, even when wet, helping with balance and reducing hand tiredness during long cooking sessions. The full-tang design adds to its strength and balance.
• Overall Length: Around 12-12.5 inches (estimated, including the 7-inch blade and handle).
• Weight: Well-balanced for easy handling and precise use, giving you superior control and comfort (exact weight is usually between 180-250 grams for a 7-inch Santoku).
• Construction: Partial-tang design, where the blade metal extends partly into the handle. This provides good strength and balance for a comfortable and effective cutting experience.
  
• Edge Type: Very sharp, finely ground straight edge, perfect for accurate push-cuts and rocking motions.

Note (Damascus Products):

All of our Damascus steel products are shipped with a protective oil coating to prevent rust or corrosion during transit. We recommend gently wiping the product with a soft cloth before first use, and if necessary, reapplying a light coat of mineral oil for ongoing protection. Please note that each knife is handmade, so the blade pattern and handle may vary, with each Damascus pattern being unique as a result of the hand-forging process. This ensures your knife is truly one-of-a-kind. Thank you for understanding and caring for your handcrafted piece!
