  A Santoku Knife has three key uses — chopping, dicing, and mincing — and you'll love doing all three with this Granton Edge Santoku Knife from Mercer Culinary.

  • We recommend hand washing your knives
  • After each use, wash with warm water and mild- to medium-strength soap
  • Rinse and thoroughly dry with a soft towel
  • Don't soak or submerge for long periods
  • If chlorine or bleach products come in contact with the blade, thoroughly rinse off immediately — chlorine and bleach products discolour and pit high-carbon steel
  • Avoid soaking for long periods in aluminium pans or a stainless steel sink
  • Always store securely in a knife block or sheath to preserve the cutting edges and prevent personal injury

  How to sharpen your knives with a counter top sharpener:

  • Hold the sharpener on the table with your left hand
  • Insert the knife blade into the slot
  • Press down to bring the knife edge into firm, sustained contact with both of the two internal diamond-coated discs
  • Slide the blade back and forth in a sawing-like motion

  How to sharpen your knives with a sharpening steel:

  • Hold the sharpener in a near vertical position, resting on a non-slippery surface
  • Start with the heel of the knife against the one side of the steel
  • Maintain light pressure while drawing the knife down the shaft of the steel
  • Continue the motion drawing the knife all the way through to the tip
  • Repeat the action with the blade against the steel on the other side
  • Repeat these steps to complete the honing of the knife
