Product detailed description
Dellinger Pinkiss Santoku 160 mm
A versatile and agile knife for vegetables, boneless meat, fish and herbs. Three-layer blade with a VG-10 core, shimmering Diamond Flash Stonewashed finish and a distinctive pink G-10 handle.
Dellinger Pinkiss Santoku 160 mm is a versatile kitchen knife designed for everyday food preparation. The wide blade provides excellent control when slicing vegetables, portioning boneless meat, preparing fish and chopping fresh herbs.
The 160 mm blade length offers an ideal balance between the agility of a smaller knife and the working surface of a traditional chef's knife. The Santoku is easy to handle even on a smaller cutting board, while the wide blade makes it convenient to transfer chopped ingredients into a bowl or pan.
The blade features a three-layer San Mai construction with a cutting core made from VG-10 steel with a hardness of approximately 60 HRC. The subtly shimmering Diamond Flash Stonewashed finish is complemented by a pink oval handle made from durable G-10.

A versatile Santoku for everyday cooking
Vegetables and fruit
The wide blade is ideal for slicing onions, root vegetables, fruit, herbs and other everyday ingredients.
Boneless meat and fish
The Santoku is suitable for portioning boneless meat, preparing fillets and slicing smaller portions.
Excellent control
The 160 mm blade remains agile and easy to control for most everyday kitchen tasks.
Three-layer San Mai blade with a VG-10 core
The term San Mai refers to a three-layer construction. At the centre of the blade is a hard cutting core made from VG-10 steel, which forms the actual cutting edge. It is supported on both sides by outer layers of steel.
The core reaches a hardness of approximately 60 HRC. This level of hardness allows the blade to achieve a fine and extremely sharp edge that retains its cutting performance when used correctly. However, the knife requires careful handling and is not intended for chopping bones or frozen food.
What does the name Santoku mean?
Santoku is generally translated as “three virtues” or “three uses”. It refers to its versatility when working with meat, fish and vegetables.
Shimmering Diamond Flash Stonewashed finish
The special Diamond Flash finish creates subtle shimmering reflections on the blade that change depending on the angle of the light. Each viewing angle reveals a slightly different character of the surface.
The effect is complemented by a stonewashed finish, which gives the blade a more matte and lightly textured appearance. The surface treatment is primarily a distinctive design element; cutting performance is determined mainly by the blade construction, geometry and quality of the cutting edge.
Pink oval G-10 handle
The handle features a rounded oval profile without pronounced edges. It sits naturally in the palm and supports comfortable knife control when slicing, chopping herbs and carrying out precise work with the tip.
The G-10 material is a strong and dimensionally stable composite. It reacts less to normal changes in humidity than untreated natural wood and is well suited to everyday kitchen use.
侍 – samurai detail
The metal end cap of the handle is decorated with the Japanese character 侍, meaning samurai. This detail symbolically represents discipline, precision and respect for craftsmanship.
