Honed by hand with an Asian-style edge, TWIN Cermax M66 blades are crafted from microcarbide steel, a molten substance atomized into a powder and then compacted under high pressure. The result is a hardness rating of 66 Rockwell, which allows the blades to be brought to an incredible sharpness and ensures that they retain their edges remarkably well. To increase balance and comfort in action, the knives also feature full-tang construction, triple rivets, and a rounded ergonomic grip. Though styled to resemble wood, the black handles are in fact a layered and compacted compound of linen and resin called Micarta, resulting in excellent maneuverability and satisfying weight. This handsome 7-inch santoku knife is ideal for slicing meat, fish, and vegetables, then transferring them to the wok or prep bowl. Crafted with a broad blade and a keen edge, the piece substitutes for or complements the traditional Western chef's knife, according to preference. Like the rest of the TWIN Cermax M66 line, the santoku knife should always be washed and dried by hand and carries J. A. Henckels' lifetime warranty. -Emily Bedard From the Manufacturer TWIN® Cermax M66 fulfills every knife lovers' dream. Special MicroCarbide Powder Steel ensures that the blade is as sharp as a scalpel and exceptionally hard. (The Cermax line measures 66 in the Rockwell Hardness Test. ) The ergonomic handle is made from the latest, state-of-the-art technology and materials suggested by top Japanese Iron Chef, Rokusaburo Michiba. TWIN® Cermax M66 knives are crafted in Japan and are complemented with an attractive gift box. A Different Standard in Blade Construction: Traditional steel can have uneven carbides of varying size, but TWIN® Cermax M66 blades are constructed with a core of special MC66 Steel (MicroCarbide) powder steel. This special steel is even with refined carbides and is developed by atomizing molten steel into micro powder, then compacting it under high pressure. The result is a hardness of 66 Rockwell and a sharper cutting edge. The MC66 core is covered by innovative CLAD material which protects the extremely hard core, thus minimizing any chance of corrosion or breakage. The cutting edge is exceptionally sharp due to the Asian edge angle and the hand honing process. It's All in The Grip: The revolutionary 3-rivet, full tang, Micarta handles are made from linen and synthetic resin compounded by pressure and heat. Micarta's distinguishing features are the elegant, wood-like appearance and smooth finish. These perfect ergonomic handles have been developed in cooperation with top Japanese Iron Chef, Rokusaburo Michiba. A top quality end cap features the Zwilling J. A.
