Lamson Sharp 39657 Rosewood Stamped 7" Santoku

Blades on LamsonSharp knives are hand honed for extra sharpness and have a full tang, which means the blade extends all the way through the handle, adding heft and balancing the steel against the traditional rosewood handle. Although these handles are dishwasher-safe, it is best to hand wash fine cutlery like this in warm, soapy water. Oil the handle occasionally with food-grade mineral oil to maintain the traditional luster. Regular use of a butcher's steel will maintain the oriental slicer's sharpness. --Edward Skoog

Product Description
LamsonSharp's Rosewood series stamped cutlery feature oiled rosewood handles that are extremely durable. Santoku knives have a sheep's foot blade style - meaning the gently curved tip of the blade visually resembles an ungulate's (a hoofed animal) hoof. The word Santoku means "three virtues" in Japanese, which refers to the tasks of slicing, dicing and mincing. The blades are one-piece full tang, made from hardened and tempered high-carbon stainless steel from the USA. The blades are also taper-ground, polished, hand-edged and honed. The handles are triple riveted with brass rivets for perfect balance and weight. All LamsonSharp knives are covered under the Sharp For Life program. All LamsonSharp knife owners can have their knives sharpened by the craftsmen who made them, for life. Lamson & Goodnow, the makers of LamsonSharp knives, have been handcrafting cutlery since 1837 in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. Lifetime warranty. Made in the USA. Blade Style: 7" Santoku.
