SK15 - Santoku knife - Drop Forged

The SK15 is part of Vearks 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. Veark 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 Veark 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.

The drop forging process leaves each knife with an individual pattern on the handle. A beautiful detail that makes each knife unique while serving as a reminder of the honest craftsmanship that went into its making.

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