## Summary description

Santoku kitchen knife Maestro MR-1496 with a 12.5 cm stainless steel single blade designed for chopping, slicing and dicing. Compact Santoku profile suits precision cutting of vegetables, fish and meats. Balanced for everyday kitchen use, it provides control and versatile performance for home cooks seeking a reliable all-purpose chef-style knife.

## Long description

The Santoku kitchen knife Maestro MR-1496 features a 12.5 cm stainless steel single blade designed for efficient chopping, slicing and dicing. Its compact Santoku profile provides a shorter cutting edge and a flatter blade geometry that supports precision work with vegetables, fish and smaller cuts of meat. The knife is balanced for everyday kitchen use and intended as a versatile, all-purpose chef-style tool for home cooks who need control and consistent performance.
Advantages
The blade’s stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and maintains a sharp edge suitable for routine food preparation. The single-bevel geometry and Santoku shape reduce sticking and improve contact with cutting boards, while the shorter length enhances maneuverability for detailed tasks. The knife’s balance and ergonomic feel support extended use with less fatigue compared with heavier blades of similar purpose.
Suitable for
Chopping and slicing vegetables and herbs
Portioning and filleting fish
Dicing and cutting smaller portions of meat and poultry
General everyday kitchen prep and mise en place
Key specifications
Blade type: single blade Santoku profile
Blade material: stainless steel
Blade length: 12.5 cm
Handle: ergonomic design for balanced grip
Primary uses: chopping, slicing, dicing
How to use
Hold the knife with a secure pinch grip near the blade for best control and guide the tip close to the cutting board for rocking or chopping motions typical of Santoku technique. Use smooth, controlled strokes and let the blade do the work rather than forcing the cut. For filleting fish or finer slices, employ short, precise strokes. Always cut on a stable, non-slip cutting board and maintain a safe grip on the food item being prepared.
Usage recommendations
To preserve blade performance, wash the knife by hand with mild detergent and dry immediately; avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and acidic foods. Regular honing will maintain edge alignment; periodic professional sharpening restores cutting performance. Store the knife in a block, on a magnetic strip, or in a protective sheath to avoid contact with other utensils.
