Calphalon's Katana Santoku knife promises superior workmanship and practical versatility with just its name--"katana" refers to the sword carried by Japan's Samurai warriors, and "santoku" translates to "three good things." An ideal slicer, dicer, and mincer, this carefully crafted knife lives up to its noble moniker. The 7-inch Damascus-style blade is fashioned from 33 layers of VG Japanese stainless steel and shares qualities of both a cleaver and a knife. Whether it's cutting meat, fish, or vegetables, the surface remains exceptionally strong, resists rust and corrosion, and maintains its sharp cutting edge. Oval notches along the blade reduce friction so the knife moves through food freely. Adding security and style, the knife features an integrated bolster design, and the durable poly-resin handle sits in the hand comfortably. The tool measures approximately 11 inches long and comes with a lifetime warranty. For best results, Calphalon recommends washing it by hand and drying promptly. --Kara Karll


Named for the sacred sword carried by Japan's Samurai warriors, Calphalon Katana Series cutlery has its roots in a centuries-old tradition of superior cutlery craftsmanship. Like the awe-inspiring swords wielded by the Samurai, Calphalon Katana Series cutlery is crafted using a time-honored layering process that creates a Damascus style blade, clad with 33 stainless steel layers. This unique series of cutlery uses VG Japanese steel, which provides exceptional sharpness and ultimate edge retention. These knives also feature a patented integrated bolster design and an ergonomically designed poly-resign handle. Combining features of a chef's knife and a cleaver, the Santoku is an all-purpose knife that's ideal for cutting meat, fish and vegetables. The word santoku means three good things ¿ a reference to the three cutting tasks it performs so well: slicing, dicing and mincing. The kullens along the edge help reduce friction, which prevents food from sticking.
