We recommend using a whetstone to sharpen your knives.

We have a range on our website and also have some articles on our blog, which talk you through the best way to look after and sharpen your knives, including recommended angles, etc

Knives should never go in the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergent is very abrasive, and along with the banging around that happens during a wash cycle, will take the sharp edge right off your knife. The high heat can also damage the handle or misshape them. Always wash knives by hand in the sink with dish soap and water and dry after.

The Pros love our knives too
Thousands of our knives are put through their paces daily by some of the best chefs in the best restaurants worldwide.

Best Christmas gift

This knife was bought as a gift for my partner for Christmas who is very much into his cooking setup. Initially I was sent the wrong item, to which the Santoku team was very quick to rectifying and I revived the original order before Christmas. My partner loves the knife, it is beautifully created and we couldn’t be happier. I will be purchasing more of the set because of the amazing quality and the fantastic customer service I received from them
