The Kyocera Chowa Series Santoku Knife represents the perfect balance between tradition and innovation. The Japanese word ‘chowa’, meaning ‘harmony’, is reflected in every detail of this knife, where Japanese craftsmanship blends with advanced technology to offer a superior cutting experience.
The patented Z212 zirconia ceramic blade is a distinctive feature of this series, designed to maintain sharpness twice as long as Kyocera's traditional ceramic blades, ensuring long-lasting performance and extremely precise cuts. Its Santoku-like shape, with a wider, slightly curved blade, is ideal for slicing, chopping and mincing meat, fish and vegetables with ease and control.
The white soft-touch handle, inspired by the traditional Japanese hammer, is ergonomic and fits perfectly in the hand, reducing wrist fatigue even during prolonged use. Its non-slip texture and shape designed for a comfortable grip make this knife an ideal ally for those seeking a balance between functionality and design.

FAQs
What is the ideal length for a chef's knife?
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks.
However, the ideal choice depends on several factors:
Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade.
Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade.
Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency.
In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?
It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
What does "blade hardness" mean?
Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.
