Kyocera's INNOVATIONwhite® knives feature a seamless handle design with a better grip for different cutting techniques. The handle gradually thins to the blade, with a tight seam for finger grip. The circular underside of the handle and slightly thicker ends prevent the knife from dropping when hands are wet. The knives weigh half as much as their metal counterparts, making them easy to use and control which helps improve your cutting skills.
The 5.5" santoku knife is a versatile kitchen knife with a traditional Japanese shape but with a double-beveled cutting edge. It is perfect for slicing, dicing, and mincing fruits, vegetables, and boneless proteins. The lightweight and well-balanced design makes it easy to use for all cutting tasks.

Care Instructions
• With proper care and maintenance, your Kyocera knives will provide you long-lasting performance. Kyocera ceramic knives are designed for smooth slicing of everyday foods like fruits, vegetables, herbs, and boneless meats or fish. Their ultra-hard blades stay sharp but are not meant for tasks that require force or twisting.
• They should not be used on frozen items, hard-rind produce, block cheese, or for prying or deboning, as these tasks can chip or break the blade. Any task using excessive force, twists, or torque can damage the knife and void the warranty.
• A wood or bamboo cutting board is recommended, while surfaces like glass or marble should be avoided to prevent dulling or damage. After use, the knife should be stored safely in a block, tray, or sheath rather than loosely in a drawer.
• The knives should be washed by hand, and stains can be removed with baking soda or sanitized with a mild bleach solution. Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended, as it can damage both the blade and handle over time.
