Hand forged, this range is offered in triple layered blades of rust resistant SLD steel (HRC of 60) and clad with soft stainless steel. This acts as a blanket and protects the harder steel in the core from breaking or shattering into pieces. These knives come with heat treated semi-charcoaled chestnut wood handles for moisture and bacteria resistance, and the core steel offers a sharp blade which holds its edge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tadafusa","offers":[{"title":"Santoku (# TF HK-2)","offer_id":44432328392746,"sku":"TF HK-2","price":211.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0077\/9108\/3579\/products\/Tadafusa_Hocho_Santoku_Knife_Website.jpg?v=1750026762","url":"https:\/\/www.sharpr.co.nz\/products\/santoko-chef-knife","provider":"Sharpr - Tools For Life","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
