Los Angeles, CA (October 8, 2018)—The I.O. Shen Santoku knife, offered by renowned knife sharpener creator Master Grade, is now available via Amazon Prime.

A product of Master Grade’s continued commitment to cutting-edge innovation, the Santoku knife represents a modern adaption of the traditional Western chef’s knife. Elegantly styled, the Santoku is a traditional chef’s knife reimagined for use in Japanese cooking. Its smaller, lightweight style and handle make it a popular choice for small-handed chefs. It features a flat edge and a sheepsfoot blade, curving at an angle approaching 60 degrees at the point. It is double-faceted and sharpened to a 10–15-degree bevel angle on both sides of the blade.

The Santoku employs Triplex steel technology, which acts as a rust repellent and also allows for optimal shock absorbency and durability. I.O. Shen’s unique partnership with U.K. and U.S. chefs has resulted in a custom and meticulous method of artisanal creation. Each I.O. Shen knife takes an average of seven hours to construct.

More reasons to love the Santoku:

- Handcrafted with forged laminated stainless steel cladding

- Shorter, lighter and thinner than a traditional Western chef knife

- Double-faceted and sharpened to a 10 — 15-degree bevel angle on both sides of the blade

- Features the signature artisanal Tai Tang handle associated with I.O. Shen

- Well-balanced, the top of the blade lines up with the top of the knife’s handle
