Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does it mean that the leaf is "alveolated"?

It means it has small grooves or notches along the blade. When cutting, these notches create an air chamber that reduces friction and prevents foods, especially moist ones like potatoes or fish, from sticking.

Is it very different from a normal chef's knife?

Yes, the Santoku has a wider blade and a less pronounced point. Its straighter profile makes it ideal for an up-and-down cutting motion, rather than the typical rocking motion of a chef's knife.

Do you need special sharpening?

It is sharpened like any other high-quality knife, preferably with a sharpening steel for daily maintenance and a whetstone for a deeper sharpening.

Is it a heavy knife?

It has a balanced weight that conveys robustness and control. It's not excessively heavy, making it very manageable thanks to its ergonomic design.

Can I wash it in the dishwasher?

To preserve the integrity of the edge and the beauty of the handle, it is highly recommended that all high-end kitchen knives be hand-washed and dried immediately.

Does it work for left-handed and right-handed people?

Yes, the edge of the Quttin Santoku knife is symmetrical, so it can be used equally effectively by left-handed and right-handed people.
