Developed with three-star chef Peter Goossens for home use
Slice like a three-star chef - that's no longer a dream. The BK Santoku Knife Peter Goossens Maestro 17 cm is the result of a collaboration between BK and top chef Peter Goossens: a knife that brings the precision of the professional kitchen straight to your worktop. Whether you're slicing salmon thinly, julienning vegetables, or portioning meat - this knife does it with a sharpness and control you'll never want to be without.
Why this knife is different from the rest
A Santoku knife is originally Japanese and is known as the ultimate all-purpose knife: wide enough for large movements, sharp enough for the finest cuts. The Maestro version from BK takes that concept to the next level. Together with Peter Goossens - the man behind Hof van Cleve, with three Michelin stars to his name - this knife has been developed for the home cook who simply wants the best. No compromises, no fuss. Just a knife that does what it needs to do, cut after cut.
- Dimples in the blade - Slices of meat, fish, or vegetables do not stick to the knife: you cut cleanly and place your ingredients neatly on the board.
- German Stainless Steel (56 HRC) - High hardness means long-lasting sharpness. This blade continues to cut as it should, even after intensive use.
- Fine cutting angle of 13° - Sharper than most European knives, allowing your knife to glide effortlessly instead of chopping and pressing.
- Acacia wood handle - Warm, sturdy, and balanced in the hand. No cold plastic, but a natural grip that feels pleasant during a long slicing session.
- Developed with Peter Goossens - No marketing gimmick: this knife has truly been tested and refined by one of Belgium's most awarded chefs.
The blade: where precision and craftsmanship meet
The 17 cm long blade is forged from high-quality German Stainless Steel - a material combination that has proven its worth in professional kitchens for decades. The hardness of 56 HRC ensures that the cutting edge retains its sharpness for a long time without becoming brittle. That last point is precisely the balance you seek: hard enough to stay sharp, tough enough to handle everyday kitchen routines.
The cutting angle of 13° is narrower than what you see with most European knives. You notice that immediately: the knife glides through a tomato, a chicken breast, or a carrot without resistance. Thin slices of carpaccio, even vegetable strips, precise fish fillets - this knife gives you the control you've always wanted. And thanks to the dimples along the blade, the slices stay neatly off the knife. No sticking, no tearing - just results to be proud of.
The handle: enjoyment starts with good tools
A knife that doesn't feel good in the hand is a knife you won't use. BK understands that and consciously chose an acacia wood handle. This wood feels warm and natural, has a beautiful grain, and gives the Maestro collection its distinctive appearance. But it goes beyond aesthetics: the ergonomic design ensures a balanced relationship between blade and handle, so your wrist and arm become less fatigued during slicing.
Whether you're quickly chopping an onion for a weekday stir-fry or carefully preparing a festive dish - this handle gives you the confidence and stability to cut exactly how you want. It's a knife you enjoy picking up, and you can feel that.
Maintenance: keep your knife in top shape for years
A good knife deserves good care, and with the Maestro, it's simpler than you think. Follow these guidelines:
- Always hand wash - The dishwasher is the enemy of a sharp blade and a beautiful wooden handle. Warm water, some dish soap, and a soft sponge will suffice.
- Dry immediately - Never leave the knife wet. Dry it immediately after washing for a long life.
- Use a wooden chopping board - Glass, stone, or metal damage the cutting edge. A good wooden or plastic chopping board protects the sharpness of your knife.
- Do not soak in water - That is not good for either the steel or the acacia wood.
💡 Cookinglife Tip: Want to keep your knife sharp between sharpenings? Use a honing steel for regular maintenance. This way, the blade retains its 13° cutting angle for as long as possible - and always cuts like new.
