Profile
Takamura Chromax 170mm Santoku
Takamura knives have a reputation for being sharp and highly sought after. The Chromax Santoku is a solid performer and designed for multipurpose everyday use.
Chromax Knife Series
The Chromax series has a stainless steel cladding which makes it easy to look after, however the core steel is semi-stainless, it has just 5% chromium which means it will patina (change colour) along the edge.
To look after simply wash and dry it after use and don't leave it wet overnight or it will rust.
If you don't mind the patina you will be rewarded with extra hardness, edge retention and the joy of resharpening to the level of a blue steel. It sharpens up really nicely and the unique Takamura hammer mark texture is also a nice touch. If you prefer something completely stainless, go for the Takamura Tsuchime santoku
The handle is a beautiful warm tone in a cedar coloured pakkawood.
A great performer in this price bracket.

Care Instructions
Knife care for semi-stainless steel knives
The core is made of semi-stainless steel which is MORE rust and tarnish resistant than carbon steel, but LESS rust and tarnish resistant than stainless steel. The most important knife care tip is to keep your knife dry and do not leave wet overnight.
- Never put in the dishwasher.
- Dry thoroughly after handwashing and do not store unless fully dry.
- The knife is not quite stainless so is susceptible to rust if left wet overnight.
- A grey patina might form after a time, this will not harm the knife in any way.
- Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
- Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
- Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
- We recommend rust cleaner for maintenance.
