{"product_id":"ironwood-7-teton-edge-santoku","title":"7\" Teton Edge Santoku Ironwood","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEast meets New West - the best of both worlds.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Japanese-style blade takes its name from the “three virtues” of slicing, dicing, and mincing. An all-purpose chef knife, the santoku features a generous width for easy scooping while the moderate length and ergonomic design make it extremely agile on the cutting board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA revolution in blade design.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Teton Edge Santoku represents a revolution in the history of blade design. The “Edge” replaces the traditional santoku “dimples” with an etched semblance of the Teton Mountain range. As with the dimples, the etching helps the blade slice smoothly through food without sticking- but the Teton Edge does it even better. Traditional machine-grinding the dimples can disrupt and distort the precision of the steel’s heat treatment. The proprietary process used to etch the “Edge” enhances the performance while optimizing the steel. The “Teton Edge” celebrates the spirit of Jackson Hole, New West Knifeworks's home, both visually and functionally, redefining the cutting edge of peak performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS35VN: America's best steel.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike cooking, making knives depends on using the best ingredients. The G-Fusion line features the highest performing knife steel on the market-- S35VN “Powder Metal” steel. This high carbon, alloyed steel has it all: elite sharpness, toughness, edge-holding, stain resistance, and sharpenability. G-Fusion knives are made in the US with American steel and backed by a lifetime guarantee. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesert Ironwood\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAs the first major addition to our chef knife collection since switching to G10 handles for our \"G-Fusion\" line, New West KnifeWorks is proud to offer our line of Desert Ironwood S35VN chef knives. After months of testing various hardwoods and laminate woods for durability, water resistance, and overall look and feel, the richly textured desert ironwood rose to the top.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBecause desert ironwood grows in such water-depleted environments, its grain structure is incredibly dense (so dense that it sinks in water), which leads it to have incredible strength and durability. In fact - this wood is so hard that it takes more material and time for our production team to get the scales shaped into New West's smooth and ergonomic knife handles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo care for this material, we recommend avoiding harsh soaps or solvents on the handle (a little dish soap now and then is fine). The deep colors and rich shine quickly come back to life with a bit of mineral oil applied with a rag. No lacquer or sealant is applied to the ironwood, so it will readily absorb the oil and look shiny and new all over again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e**Please note: this is a natural material and each handle will have unique grain patterns**\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.newwestknifeworks.com\/pages\/teton-edge-santoku\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn more about the Teton Edge Santoku.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.newwestknifeworks.com\/content\/information\/introducing-the-teton-edge-santoku\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.newwestknifeworks.com\/content\/information\/introducing-the-teton-edge-santoku\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWE ARE AMERICA'S PREMIER BOUTIQUE KNIFE MANUFACTURER.
