Santoku Knife 175 mm SOK Olive Sunshine Damascus

Product detailed description

Chef's knife Santoku SOK Olive Sunshine Damascus

The Santoku knife is a symbol of Japanese cooking tradition and versatility. Its name literally means "three virtues", because this knife can slice, chop and shred with complete ease. It is the ideal companion for preparing meat, fish and vegetables and will quickly become one of the most used knives in your kitchen.

The Sheepsfoot blade has a straight edge and a characteristic blunt spine that curves gracefully downwards towards the tip - like the profile of a grazing sheep. This design was originally designed for precision slicing without the risk of piercing or cutting through food, ensuring safer and more controlled work even with delicate adjustments.

In addition, the blunt spine allows you to grip the blade firmly and securely with your fingers - called "choking" - or place your index finger on the spine of the blade, giving you maximum feel and precise control over every movement. The result is a perfectly balanced tool that combines elegance, precision and power in a single cut.

The Santoku Dellinger knife is the epitome of harmony between traditional Japanese shape and modern materials - a knife that inspires perfection and brings joy to every slice.

The blade of the SOK Olive Sunshine Damascus series is a true masterpiece of precision craftsmanship and traditional Japanese craftsmanship. It is made of Damascus steel with a core hardness of 61 ± 1 HRC, which ensures exceptional sharpness and long blade life. This core is sandwiched between 66 layers of two stainless steels of different hardnesses, which together provide the perfect balance between strength, toughness and flexibility.

The surface of the blade reveals the fascinating structure of the individual layers, which together create the shimmering and unique Damascene SUNSHINE pattern, symbolizing the rays of the sun. Each blade has its own unique character, no two are exactly the same. This subtle wavy pattern not only dazzles with its appearance, but also minimizes friction when slicing and prevents food from sticking to the blade, ensuring a smooth, precise and comfortable cut.

Unlike regular Damascus blades, which undergo chemical etching to enhance the pattern , SOK Olive Sunshine Damascus blades are treated with a sandblasting method. In this process, the surface of the blade is exposed to a gentle stream of abrasive particles that remove the softer layers of steel, thus naturally revealing the structure of the damascus. The result is a fine matt, silky, glossy surface with high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage - and without the need for chemicals.

This treatment not only gives the blade an elegant appearance and exceptional character, but also greater durability and pattern stability. The knives of the SOK Olive Sunshine Damascus series thus represent the pinnacle of the combination of traditional craftsmanship, modern technology and the natural beauty of steel.

Dellinger combines traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology. Thanks to vacuum heat treatment and hand sharpening, his knives achieve exceptional hardness, sharpness and durability. This technologically precise approach ensures that each Dellinger blade is not just a tool, but the perfect result of a combination of craftsmanship, science and passion for detail.

And that handle

The handle is made of beautiful olive wood. Olive wood is very attractive in colour and in high demand. The wood can be beautifully polished, it is strong and hard. That's why it's called "beauty that doesn't age". The handles are designed to fit perfectly in the hand and provide comfort. The blades are perfectly balanced and prevent hand fatigue. This ensures maximum control and accuracy.

Recommendations and maintenance

Sharpening a kitchen knife

we recommend the use of diamond and water grinding stones for the knife edge. If you are not 100% confident in your skills and abilities, please contact us. We will sharpen your knives individually according to your wishes. We also regularly organize knife sharpening courses. Alternatively, look for a professional grinder in your area. Damage that could result from unprofessional grinding is irreversible.

Cleaning the kitchen knife:

Particles attached to the blade surface from aggressive substances can begin to corrode and form rust-like stains on the blade surface. However, it's not the blade that rusts, it's the attached particles. For example, baking soda is commonly used for removal, which when soaked forms a "slurry" and an old cork.
