Veark SK15 Forged Santoku Knife
The SK15 is drop-forged from a single piece of steel by skilled craftsmen in Solingen, Germany. Inspired by the belief that a knife is the most essential kitchen tool, its open handle design, modeled on professional chefs’ grip and a wrench structure, ensures stability and control at the blade’s balance point, perfect for everyday use.
The blade is fully symmetrical, making it comfortable for both left- and right-handed use. Each knife is hand-sharpened to a total edge angle just below 30°, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and precise cutting performance.
For sharpening tools that can be adjusted, set the angle to 28° for the best result (14° per side).
Although our forged knives are rugged and durable, it is important to take care of them. Treat a knife with respect and it will last you a lifetime. -Use a cutting board: Always cut on wood or plastic boards to protect the blade. Avoid glass, stone, ceramic, or steel surfaces. -Cut straight, don’t scrape: Avoid sideways scraping. To move food, flip the knife and use the spine. -Keep it clean: Rinse after use, wash with mild soap and non-abrasive tools. -Dry thoroughly: Wipe your knife completely after washing. -Store safely: Keep knives in a dedicated space, away from other objects. -Handle with care: Avoid dropping on hard surfaces. -Dishwasher: Not recommended; high temperatures and moisture can damage the knife and handle. -Sharpening: Use whetstones or professional services if needed. Avoid automatic sharpening machines.
