Kanehiro Cutlery built their reputation on producing honest, well-balanced kitchen knives for Japanese professional kitchens. This 170mm carbon steel santoku carries a flat-to-slightly-curved profile that suits both push-cutting and light rocking technique. Carbon steel at this size is a revelation for vegetable work - the thin geometry behind the edge means less wedging through dense root vegetables, and the edge takes a sharpness that stainless simply can't match at equivalent cost. A genuinely useful vintage knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a smooth steel or fine ceramic rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on Japanese water stones (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55598158807331,"sku":"VTG-KANEHIRO-ST170-2292","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/58DA90AD-0C34-4BC1-9B30-DDA1E8585387.jpg?v=1790248193","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/kanehiro-santoku-170mm-2292","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
