FAQs
Can I use this knife for frozen foods or bones?
No. The Blackmoor Santoku is designed for slicing meats, fish, and vegetables. Using it on frozen items or bone can chip or damage the fine steel edge.
What is the total length of the knife?
The total length of the knife is 31cm.
What is the purpose of the scallops on the side of the blade?
The scalloped edge creates small air pockets between the blade and the food, which prevents items like potatoes or cucumber slices from sticking to the side of the knife.
Is this knife suitable for left-handed users?
Yes, the handle is designed with an ergonomic, neutral grip that is comfortable for both right-handed and left-handed users.
How often should I sharpen the knife?
Frequency depends on use. For home cooks, honing it regularly and getting it professionally sharpened every 6 to 12 months is generally sufficient.
Troubleshooting
The knife feels dull after heavy use.
Use a honing rod to realign the blade edge. If this does not restore sharpness, the knife may require professional sharpening.
Dark spots or rust appear on the blade.
Ensure the knife is dried immediately after washing. Use a stainless steel cleaner or a baking soda paste to gently remove minor discoloration.

- Cleaning: Always hand wash the knife in warm, soapy water immediately after use and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Never submerge it for long periods.
