Kyocera Innovation Black 6" Santoku (ZK-160 BK)
A lightweight ceramic santoku designed for clean, precise cuts on vegetables, fruits, and boneless proteins. The Kyocera Innovation Black 6" Santoku is built for general prep where control and consistency matter. The santoku shape uses a flat edge and a straight cutting path, which works well for push cuts and fast vegetable prep. The blade is made from zirconia ceramic. It holds a sharp edge longer than steel and does not react with food. It will not transfer metallic taste or cause browning in ingredients like apples, avocados, or herbs. This knife produces very clean cuts. It moves through produce with minimal resistance and leaves smooth surfaces behind, which is noticeable when slicing vegetables or working with delicate ingredients. Ceramic behaves differently than steel. It stays sharp for a long time, but it is not flexible. It can chip if used on hard materials or if the blade is twisted during use. Use it for vegetables, fruits, herbs, and boneless proteins. Do not use it on bones, frozen foods, or hard squash. The blade holds its edge longer than earlier ceramic knives, so it requires less frequent sharpening in regular use. The lightweight build reduces fatigue during extended prep. The upward-angled handle provides a secure grip and helps keep your knuckles clear of the board. The blade will not rust or corrode. When sharpening is needed, it requires a diamond wheel or professional service.
