{"product_id":"couteau-santoku-damas-18-cm-nacre-abalone","title":"Iris · Damascus Santoku Knife 7\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"cd-intro\"\u003eThe Iris santoku shortens the blade to 7 inches (8 oz, against 8.5 oz for the chef knife) and flattens it, so you cut with a forward stroke. It is the full-size knife of the series for anyone who preps a lot of vegetables or finds the chef knife bulky, and it stays steady on a fish fillet. For small portions, the 5-inch petty santoku keeps the same shape. The abalone on the handle differs from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSantoku means “three virtues” in Japanese: meat, fish and vegetables. The blade is shorter and flatter than a chef knife, with a dropped tip, so you cut with a forward push instead of a rocking motion. Very nimble, ideal if most of your prep is vegetables. Japanese-style blade, thin and hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Iris Damascus Santoku Knife 7\" has a blade made of 67 layers of damascus steel around a 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, hardened to 60 ± 2 HRC. The handle is abalone shell set in clear resin: it shifts from green to blue to violet as the light moves. Every shell is different, so every handle is one of a kind. A steel bolster joins handle and blade, and a gold mosaic pin sets off the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping and Returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDamascus Knife ships free with tracking across the United States: 1 to 3 business days to prepare, then 8 to 14 business days in transit, import duties included.
