Diamant Sabatier Santoku knife Riyouri 17 cm
Easily finely chop onions, garlic and other vegetables
Blade made of high-alloy stainless X45CrMoV15 steel
Special non-slip structure
Dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended
Do you also love finely chopped onion, garlic and ginger? This Japanese Santoku knife from Diamant Sabatier is ideal for the finest cutting jobs in the kitchen. With the Santoku knife you can also easily pick up your finely chopped pieces of onion with the knife. Unlike European chef's knives, the blade is wider, thinner and not as pointed. The dimples in the blade make food less likely to stick to the knife.
Diamant Sabatier is known as a quality brand and is one of the most widely used knife brands in the hospitality industry. Diamant Sabatier provides a lifetime manufacturer's warranty on material and manufacturing defects due to its strict quality standards. Would you like more information about the X45CrMoV15 steel that is Diamant Sabatier used? On our information page you will find a detailed explanation of the types of knife steel we use at Cookinglife offer.
We recommend storing your knife in a Knife block or hang it from a knife magnet. This extends its life and is safer. After all, not only is it dangerous to put your knife loose in your kitchen drawer, but it also damages the cutting edge of the knife. The knives of Diamant Sabatier are best cleaned with warm water and possibly a little soap. We recommend drying the knife immediately after cleaning, otherwise oxidation spots may appear on the knife and that is of course a shame.
What does our expert say?
Trade Show Specialist
I keep reaching for this product time and again when I want to work quickly and precisely. The X45CrMoV15 steel holds its edge surprisingly long, and you notice it right away the first time you use it on an onion or ginger. Those little dimples in the blade aren’t a marketing gimmick, they really work: food releases easily and you cut cleaner and faster. The handle sits comfortably in the hand, even after a longer cutting session. If you don’t yet own a santoku knife, this product will introduce you to a very different way of cutting.

Warranty
We offer a one-year warranty period on all products, unless otherwise indicated under the features of the respective product. Warranty terms may vary by supplier.
The higher the hardness, the longer the knife will be sharp and more delicate. The hardness of a knife is indicated by HRC values. Read below what the differences between these values are to help you make the right choice.
Up to 52 HRC
This hardness is too soft to make a quality kitchen knife.
52-54 HRC
This hardness is also still quite soft and offers reasonable quality. This is still optional for a small paring knife, for larger kitchen knives it is not good enough quality.
54-56 HRC
This hardness is often found on French kitchen knives and is certainly hard enough for kitchen use. Knives with this hardness require more maintenance and will need to be sharpened more often with a sharpening steel to keep the knife sharp.
56-58 HRC
This hardness is often found in German kitchen knives. These knives are suitable for many kitchen tasks and can take a lot. They are easy to keep sharp with a sharpening steel.
58-60 HRC
This hardness is mainly found in kitchen knives from Japan. These knives have a thinner blade, which makes them lighter in weight, and they have been shown to stay sharp longer. These types of knives are sharpened at a sharper angle, making self sharpening a lot more difficult.
60-62 HRC
This hardness is also found in Japanese kitchen knives. The rule is: the harder, the longer sharp. It also increases the risk of breakage and makes them difficult to sharpen. This can be prevented by processing the steel in a certain way. The price of these knives is a lot higher.

FAQ
Can I wash the Diamant Sabatier Riyouri Santokumes in the dishwasher?
High-quality steel knives are best washed by hand. A dishwasher is aggressive: the hot water, steam and harsh detergents attack the blade and can accelerate loss of sharpness. Rinse the knife after use under warm water, dry it immediately with a tea towel and store it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip. This keeps the blade in top condition and lets you enjoy the knife's performance for as long as possible.
How do I keep the knife sharp?
The Riyouri Santokumes is made from high-alloy X45CrMoV15 steel with a hardness of 56–57 HRC, which means it stays sharp much longer than an average kitchen knife. Nevertheless, every knife needs maintenance. Keep it sharp with a whetstone or a ceramic honing steel, which are suitable for thin Japanese-style blades. Do not use a coarse steel or an electric sharpener that removes too much material. Preferably cut on a wooden or plastic cutting board — glass and stone are disastrous for the cutting edge.
Is this Santokumes also suitable for meat and fish, or only for vegetables?
The wide, thin 17 cm blade is versatile. It easily cuts vegetables, herbs, fish and boneless meat. The Santokumes excels at fine cutting that requires precision — think thin slices, julienne or fine chopping. For heavy tasks like chopping through bones or cutting through hard cheese rinds, a sturdier knife is a better choice because the thin blade is not designed for that.
What warranty do I get on this knife?
Diamant Sabatier provides a lifetime manufacturer's warranty on the Riyouri Santokumes. That warranty covers material and manufacturing defects. Normal wear from use — such as the gradual dulling of the blade — is not covered. The knife is made in France, built on more than 100 years of knife-making craftsmanship.
Is the knife comfortable if I use it for a long time?
Yes. The Riyouri handle is designed with an anti-slip texture that provides a stable, ergonomic grip — even when your hands are wet while cooking. That makes the knife comfortable to use during intensive or prolonged cutting tasks, such as cutting a large quantity of vegetables for a stew. The wide blade also has the added advantage that you can scoop directly from the cutting board into the pan.

Goed kwalitatief mes. Heb altijd al messen van Diamant Sabatier gehad, maar dit is zeker een toevoeging. Het handgreep voelt erg prettig aan met de kuiltjes.
Top set! Voor het geld wat je uitgeeft krijg je het dubbel en dwars terug. 5 hele mooie messen die in het messenblok perfect op mijn aanrecht staan. De messen snijden lekker makkelijk. Mis alleen nog een aanzetstaal van deze serie.
Mooi blok en de messen snijden perfect. Voor alle manieren een geschikt mes. Gecombineerd met een snijplankenset van Joseph Joseph matchen ze perfect bij elkaar!
Voor mij één van de beste messen die ik ooit gehad heb. Na de snelle levering gelijk gebruik van gemaakt en het plezier ingrediënten bereiden is er zeker niet minder op geworden! Het brede lemmet is erg handig voor het verplaatsen van de gesneden groenten.
Goed werkende messen die voor alle snijtaken bedoeld zijn in de keuken. Een aanzetstaal is wel een aanrader om de messen mooi scherp te houden. Tevens weer een perfecte levering door Cookinglife!
Perfect blok met kwaliteitsmessen voor al je snijtaken. Deze messen houd je lekker scherp door het aanzetstaal wat ook mee wordt geleverd. De prijs is aan de hoge kant maar is het zeker waard met alles wat je krijgt!!
Voor mijzelf een perfect mes door het wat kleinere lemmet. Omdat ik een vrouw ben vind ik dit zelf fijner snijden. De kuiltjes zijn ook erg functioneel doordat de ingrediënten niet blijven kleven.
Omdat ik het vervelend vind om met lange messen te moeten snijden, heb ik dit kartelmes van 13 cm aangeschaft. Het mes snijdt erg fijn en ik hoef geen lang broodmes te gebruiken voor de producten met een harde korst. Aanraden!
Kwaliteitsblok met alle messen om je snijtaken uit te voeren in de keuken. De handvaten liggen heerlijk in de hand en de messen snijden fijn. Zeer tevreden over het merk Diamant Sabatier.
Perfect mes om snel grote hoeveelheden weg te snijden (zoals de productomschrijving al zegt). Ik gebruik het mes het meest in de keuken en slijp hem ook geregeld bij met mijn eigen aanzetstaal. prima combinatie.
