Kelomat - Santoku Knife 18cm

The Kelomat Santoku knife, with its distinctive shape, is an all-rounder equally suited for fish, meat, and vegetables—hence its name, which translates from Japanese to "three virtues."

The broad, hand-sharpened blade is made of forged chrome steel and features the classic Santoku profile. Indentations along the blade allow for cutting with minimal effort. The ergonomically shaped handle ensures comfortable use over extended periods without causing fatigue.

The weight is perfectly balanced between the blade and the handle, ensuring the knife sits comfortably in your hand while cutting. Its timeless design, featuring a seamless transition between the blade and the riveted handle, makes this Santoku knife an essential addition to any knife collection—for professionals and home cooks alike.

Knife Care Tips

FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO KEEP YOUR KNIVES SHARP FOR LONGER.

1. Avoid the dishwasher.

• Machine washing causes the blade to dull quickly due to dishwasher salts.

2. Rinse the knife immediately after use.

• Clean the knife right after use with lukewarm water, as dried food residue is difficult to remove.

3. Sharpen your knife regularly.

• Only a sharp knife allows for easy, safe cutting without hand fatigue. KELOMAT knives are best sharpened using the Kelomat sharpening steel.
• Hold the sharpening steel at arm's length from your body. Then, draw the knife blade—from handle to tip—across the entire length of the steel several times on both sides. Ensure the knife is held at a 20° angle to the steel.

4. Store your knives correctly.

• We recommend using knife rolls, knife blocks, or a magnetic strip for storage. If you store knives in a drawer, use a blade guard (e.g., made of felt) or install custom-fitted dividers in the drawer.
