# 7 Inch Santoku Knife | Made In - Made In A fluted X50CrMoV15 stainless steel blade prevents ingredients from sticking and makes this knife one that fills a gap in any cutlery arsenal or knife block. A French take on the Japanese-style blade engineered for the three virtues of slicing, dicing, and mincing. ## Description Crafted in the Knife capital of the world—Thiers, France—the Santoku is forged by a 5th generation bladesmith and hardened with nitrogen gas. Its design combines German blades’ utilitarianism with Japanese knives’ precision. Instead of being cheaply welded together, all of our Knives are full tang and fully forged, meaning they are crafted from a single rod of stainless steel that extends from tip to handle—resulting in sharper, perfectly balanced blades. With a rounded tip and a straighter blade profile, the Santoku lets you use the entire width of the blade to make quick, downward cuts. 28 individual flutes keep ingredients from sticking to your blade, so you can prep meat, vegetables, or fish with maximum precision. Discover why the versatile Santoku is essential in both restaurants and home kitchens. ## Dimensions - Blade Material: X50CrMoV15 Stainless Steel - Blade Angle: 12.5-Degrees (Either Side) - Blade Type: Double Bevel - Blade Length: 7.13” - Blade Height: 1.75" - Blade Thickness: 2.5 mm - Total Length: 12.25” - Weight: 7 oz - Rockwell Score: 58+ HRC ## Care - Only Use on a Plastic or Wood Cutting Board - Periodically Oil the Handle - Hand Wash Only, Dry Immediately - Sharpen at a 12.5-Degree Angle - Lifetime Warranty ## Shipping, Warranty, and Returns - We offer Free Shipping on all orders over $49 in the contiguous U.S. We also ship internationally to over 200 countries.

I really liked the knife. I sent Made In a photo and to my surprise they replaced my knife without delay. I could not imagine encountering better customer service. I highly recommend this company. — Will ### ★★★★★ Well balanced, effortless cutting. Very well made - should last a lifetime 👍 — Jeff L. ### ★★★★★ Love my first Made In purchase- this Santoku knife makes my kitchen chores fly by… great handle, super sharp and a long needed addition to my kitchen. — Hash P. ### ★★★★★ One of many knives I have purchased from Made In, all quality, beautiful and worth every penny. — Chris C. ### ★★★★★ I love this knife. It fits perfectly in my grip and is the sharpest knife I've owned. It was worth the investment. — Ana A. ### ★★★★★ Has a nice, weighty feel to it. So far so good on making thin cuts in vegetables like celery. Custom engraving looks great! — Julian A. ### ★★★★★ Item as described. Bought as a gift and used right away. Awesome! — Justin K. ### ★★★★★ Bought for my daughter-in-law and she loves it. She has the whole set of Made In knives know and according to her they are the best knives she has ever used. — Sheryl M. ### ★★★★★ I love this knife! It's on the heavier side and is solid. I have small hands and the handle is still comfortable. Blade cuts like a dream! — Kathleen B. ### ★★★★★ Love it! Feels good in my arthritic hand & cuts precisely. Durable. Glad I invested in this. — Julianne B. ### ★★★★★ Ok, before I purchase anything, I read reviews. I research materials and investigate standards. I refuse to buy and try. When I make a purchase it’s because I feel it’s RIGHT. Boy, was I spot on. I have been using a dull knife for a few years that cost <20$. THIS knife has cut prep time in half and as a result I spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the food. I bought this knife for cutting veggies for juicing, and mostly for slicing raw chicken breasts to speed up the time it takes to boil 5 breasts in a cast iron pot. I make homemade dog food (chicken and veggies) for my Italian greyhound. This knife is fit for a samurai. I wish I could buy the entire line of stainless steel cookware! One day. God bless you and thank you so much for such a fine product. I’m sold. — Kimberly ### ★★★★★ Love the knife, fantastic for cutting up veggies as well as meat. You will not be disappointed! — Chris I. ### ★★★★★ Super high value knives that are seriously the best I have ever used. They feel very comfortable in the hand and are very easy to care for. Bonus if you get the magnetic knife block. — RAFAEL G. ### ★★★★★ Beautiful knife, well balanced, easy to use. Great for slicing as well as dicing. The size of the knife makes it multipurpose. Love it, 🔪 — Michael N. ### ★★★★★ — Joshua V. ### ★★★★★ — Amelia M. ### ★★★★★ The Made In Santoku knife is excellent! High quality knife! — Julio M. ### ★★★★★ I love these knives!
