This **Richardson Sheffield Velocity Santoku** is enhanced with a 17.5 cm long blade. The dimples in the blade ensure that no ingredients stick to the blade. A Santoku is the Japanese version of the chef's knife. Just like a chef's knife, you also use a santoku to cut meat, fish and vegetables. The santoku is not better or worse than the chef's knife. The only difference is that you use a different cutting technique when you use the knife. Which will suit you best, therefore depends on [which cutting technique you prefer.](/en/ct/chefs-knife-versus-santoku.htm).

## Blade made from X50CrMoV15 steel

The blades of the knives are made from X50CrMoV15 steel. This is a type of steel that is used often by Western knife manufacturers. When it comes to steel, it is always a balance between strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance. X50CrMoV15 steel can handle rust and is very strong. As such the knives are amazing to use and can be sharpened at a 20-degree angle. This also means that the knife is easy to maintain, thanks to the stainless qualities. In addition, you can also easily sharpen it yourself, if, after some time, it has lost some of its sharpness. Sharpening is a piece of cake because the knives are not enhanced with a crop. The knives are razor-sharp upon delivery. The knife's blade runs all the way through the handle, which is known as full-tang construction. As such the knife is nicely balanced.

## Plastic handle

The Richardson Sheffield Velocity knives are enhanced with a plastic handle. Easy to maintain, you don't really have to pay attention to it. Richardson Sheffield states that these knives are dishwasher proof, but we do not recommend it. The plastic will namely lose its nice shine in time. In addition, it will affect the sharpness of the blade because it will come in contact with other objects in the dishwasher.

## Leading design

Richardson Sheffield is known for the cutting-edge design of their products. They are often 'first'. Did you know, for instance, that Richard Sheffield was the first to produce a wooden knife block? The quality and a practical design of the products is the basis. But after focusing on that, they pay close attention to a beautiful, modern and unique look and feel.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
