PRODUCT INFORMATION
The 5.5in santoku knife is a versatile kitchen knife with a traditional Japanese shape but with a double-beveled cutting edge. It is perfect for slicing, dicing, and mincing fruits, vegetables, and boneless proteins. The lightweight and well-balanced design makes it easy to use for all cutting tasks.
- INNOVATION white is a patented technology where design meets function. Kyocera engineers have developed a nano-refined ceramic [zirconia and alumina] with 2x superior performance and wear resistance. Kyocera collaborates with Tokyo designer Yohei Kuwano to enhance the knife handle design, inspired by Japanese hammers.
- Kyocera's proprietary ceramic formula creates a denser micro-grain ceramic blade compared to competitors. This translates to a sharper edge that retains its sharpness significantly longer.
- Kyocera's INNOVATIONwhite knives feature a seamless handle design with a better grip for different cutting techniques.
- The handle gradually thins to the blade, with a tight seam for finger grip.
- Experience exceptional wear resistance.
- No sacrificing taste or flavor. Kyocera ceramic knives are non-reactive and non-corrosive. They will never transfer a metallic taste nor contribute to food oxidation.
- The knives weigh half as much as their metal counterparts, making them easy to use and control, which helps improve your cutting skills in home cooking. These are easier to use, especially for people with arthritis or hand injuries.
- Made in Japan.

- FORMED BY NATURE, PERFECTED BY SCIENCE Kyocera’s comprehensive experience and capabilities in advanced ceramic technology have enabled them to develop kitchen tools and cutlery that are of high-quality and performance. Developed and manufactured in Japan, Kyocera’s proprietary blade technology has become the benchmark in many key industries and is considered the leading brand in ceramic knives and kitchen tools.
Like diamonds and sapphires, the elements of ceramic are formed in nature through thousands of years of crystallization, extreme temperatures, and literally tons of pressure. The result is a pure, dense, unrelenting material that is 50% harder than steel and close to diamond in hardness as shown in the MOH’s Hardness scale below. Long-wearing and corrosion-free, ceramic parts, many manufactured by Kyocera, are often used in bone replacement procedures, satellites, racecar brake pads and many other applications that require extreme wear-resistance. For those components that would virtually disintegrate if made from metal, ceramic is the material of choice.
UNRELENTING SHARPNESS Kyocera advanced ceramic blades offer superior edge retention, holding their edge longer than traditional kitchen knives. Brand new ceramic, high carbon, and stainless steel knives were put to the test through a Honda testing machine. A stack of paper was used as the test subject matter due to its more abrasive nature over fruits and vegetables. The sharpness tester held each blade with a constant force against the paper producing a 3.5” slicing action. The test was repeated 1,000 times, and ultimately the Kyocera ceramic blade stayed sharper much longer than the other two blades.
UNPARALLELED PURITY In addition, to wear resistance, Kyocera advanced ceramic knives are chemically inert so foods look and taste the way they should. The smooth, polished surface resists germs and is impervious to acids, oils, and salts so cleaning up is easy to do, simply wash and let dry. Because they are ceramic, Kyocera knives and kitchen tools won’t brown foods, won’t transfer a metallic taste or smell, and will never rust.
ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT Half the weight of traditional knives and kitchen tools, Kyocera’s products provide a new experience in cutting fruits and vegetables. Perfectly balanced and lightweight, our ceramic knives reduce fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks and make meal preparation easy and fun.
