7-Inch Damascus-Pattern Santoku Knife – 10Cr15CoMoV Steel & G10 Handle

Product Overview

Looking for a premium Santoku knife that combines distinctive design, practical specifications, and private label opportunities?

This 7-inch Damascus-pattern Santoku knife features 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, a decorative Damascus-style blade finish, and a black G10 handle.

Designed for everyday kitchen preparation, its broad blade, gently curved cutting edge, and rounded Santoku-style tip make it suitable for slicing vegetables, preparing fish, and cutting boneless meat.

The blade incorporates a series of hollow-ground indentations along its side, commonly known as a Granton-style feature. These may help reduce contact between certain foods and the blade surface, although performance depends on food type and cutting technique.

With a specified hardness of 60±2 HRC and a nominal 15° sharpening angle per side, this model offers a defined technical starting point for premium kitchen knife sourcing.

The black G10 handle, decorative mosaic pin, and Damascus-pattern appearance create a professional aesthetic suitable for private label kitchenware collections.

For importers, distributors, and established knife brands, this product offers an opportunity to develop a visually differentiated Santoku knife with clear material specifications and customizable branding.

Premium Appearance. Defined Specifications. OEM-Ready Product Development.

Product Specifications

Specifications are based on the supplied product information. Final material identification, dimensions, hardness, blade geometry, weight tolerances, and customization options should be confirmed through sample approval and agreed inspection requirements.

Key Features & Competitive Advantages

1. 10Cr15CoMoV Stainless Steel Blade

The blade is specified as 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, a material used in performance-oriented kitchen knife applications.

The finished knife's cutting characteristics depend on the steel composition, heat treatment, grinding geometry, and edge finishing.

For procurement teams, identifying the steel grade creates a clear starting point for technical evaluation and material verification.

B2B Buyer Benefit: A defined steel specification that supports product positioning, technical comparison, and quality-control planning.

2. Distinctive Damascus-Pattern Appearance

The blade features an intricate Damascus-style pattern that gives the knife a recognizable premium appearance.

This decorative finish can help differentiate the product from conventional plain-blade Santoku knives.

For private label brands, the pattern provides a strong visual element for product photography, retail packaging, and online merchandising.

The exact patterning process and whether the blade uses a layered construction should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

B2B Buyer Benefit: Premium visual differentiation without making unsupported claims about blade construction.

3. 60±2 HRC Target Hardness

The specified hardness is 60±2 HRC.

Hardness is one factor affecting how a blade responds to use and sharpening, but it should not be considered independently from steel, geometry, and heat treatment.

For bulk procurement, buyers can establish an agreed hardness range and testing procedure during sample approval.

B2B Buyer Benefit: A measurable technical requirement that can support production inspection and supplier evaluation.

4. 15° Manual Wet-Sharpened Edge

The blade is specified with a nominal 15° sharpening angle per side and a manual wet-sharpening process.

A carefully finished edge is important for clean, controlled kitchen cutting.

Actual cutting performance also depends on thickness behind the edge, grind consistency, burr removal, and blade geometry.

Buyers requiring specific cutting characteristics can discuss edge specifications and inspection methods before production.

B2B Buyer Benefit: An identifiable edge-finishing specification suitable for OEM quality discussions.

5. Granton-Style Blade Indentations

The blade incorporates a row of hollow-ground indentations along its side.

These features are commonly associated with Santoku knives and may reduce surface contact with certain foods.

Their practical effect varies according to the ingredients and cutting technique.

The indentations also contribute to the knife's distinctive visual appearance.

B2B Buyer Benefit: A recognizable design feature that can support product differentiation and customer education.

6. Black G10 Handle with Decorative Mosaic Pin

The handle is made from black G10 fiberglass laminate.

G10 is valued in knife manufacturing for its dimensional stability and resistance to moisture under normal use conditions.

The handle features a contoured shape, visible fastening details, and a decorative mosaic pin.

The black finish provides a versatile appearance suitable for modern kitchenware collections.

B2B Buyer Benefit: A consistent material and design concept that can complement premium private label branding.

7. Balanced Product Dimensions for Santoku Positioning

The knife has a 170 mm blade, 301 mm overall length, and 48 mm blade height.

These dimensions provide a practical basis for evaluating the knife's intended use and retail positioning.

The approximately 278.3 g weight should be considered when assessing customer preferences for balance and handling.

Buyers are encouraged to evaluate a physical sample before confirming ergonomic suitability.

B2B Buyer Benefit: Clearly documented dimensions that simplify product comparison and purchasing decisions.
