SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cangshan Maya Series 7" Santoku Knife with Sheath is a high-performance kitchen essential that balances beauty, function, and durability. Designed for precision cutting, this Santoku blade delivers the versatility and control needed for slicing, mincing, chopping, and dicing a wide variety of ingredients. It’s a top-tier tool for the cook who values craftsmanship as much as performance.
Forged from 67 layers of proprietary X-7 Damascus steel, the blade boasts exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a Rockwell hardness rating of 60 +/-2. Each knife is hand sharpened to a precise 16-degree edge for clean, effortless cuts through meats, vegetables, and herbs. Hollow-ground indentations run along the blade’s edge to reduce friction and prevent food from sticking, keeping your prep work fast and fluid.
The handle is crafted from rich African blackwood, offering a comfortable, balanced grip and a sleek, understated elegance.

The transition from handle to blade is seamless, providing control and safety through every cut.
A dark walnut magnetic sheath is included to protect the blade when not in use. It fits securely, preserving the knife’s edge and allowing for easy storage while adding a refined touch to the presentation. Whether you're a professional chef or a home cook, the Maya Santoku brings confidence and capability to your kitchen tasks.
