xMeet the PAUDIN Santoku Knife
The 5-inch chef knife is crafted for nimble, precise prep in busy kitchens. Its balanced weight and sharp edge support smooth transitions from chopping to slicing and mincing without forcing extra effort.
Key design and materials
The blade is made from high carbon stainless steel and is hardened for lasting sharpness. The edge is hand polished at 14–16 degrees per side for refined precision.
