A Japanese Damascus Santoku (three virtues) kitchen knife, made from a steel meticulously layered 69 times, which has then been hammered to result in a pairing of traditional knife design with the stunning Tsuchime line pattern. Santoku knives are so named because of their versatility: able to tackle fish, meat, and vegetables, and to chop, dice, and slice. Pateru, a brand whose name means 'priest' or 'father', have combined a modern and durable AUS10 steel with this simple and traditional oak handle to create a knife that is both efficient and beautiful. The blade has a hardness of 60±1 HRC with a Half Tang blade. Damascus steel is named after a historical blacksmithing tradition found in ancient swords across Asia. In legend, the Wootz crafted steel had the ability to cut clean through the barrel of a rifle, or to split a falling hair in two as it touched a blade's edge.
