Veark SK15 Forged Santoku Knife

The SK15 is part of Veark's fully forged collection of knives. It is drop forged from a single piece of steel by experienced craftsmen in the traditional knife making town of Solingen, Germany.

The idea for the collection was drawn from the belief that the knife is a tool - maybe even the most essential tool in the kitchen. They took visual cues from the world of traditional metal tools to create a unique signature that is both visually appealing and highly functional.

Looking at how professional chefs hold their knives they developed the open handle: a wrench inspired design that invites you to slide your thumb onto the blade and grab it right at the balancing point. This adds stability and a firm grip for all cooking – everyday.

All their forged knives are fully symmetrical and 100% suitable for left- and right-handed use.

The knives are sharpened by hand to just below 30° (both sides combined). For sharpening tools that can be adjusted, set the angle to 28° for the best result (14° per side). Although forged knives are rugged and durable, it is important to take care of them. Treat a knife with respect and it will last you a lifetime.
