This Santoku knife is perfect for finely slicing, dicing and mincing. Crafted with blue steel #2 Nashiji and a stainless clad dark blue handle, it's razor sharp and incredibly durable. It's 165mm blade is ideal for cutting through meat, fish and vegetables with ease and precision.

“Santoku" means an all-purpose knife, including meat, fish, and vegetables. It is designed to have both features of Japanese Nakiri (vegetable knife) and Japanese Gyuto (meat knife). Being highly convenient and practical, it is most widely used in households. Recommended for those new to Japanese kitchen knives and novice cooks.

 

Aogami No.2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to Shirogami No.2. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Aogami No.2 is very similar to Shirogami No.2 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.

The Japanese term “Nashiji” (English: Pear skin pattern) refers to the result of a technique that appears to leave the surface finish of a blade looking unfinished and rustic.

The edge is the carbon steel which is examined good carbon steel, forged and clad stainless. Since the side is stainless steel, it is hard to rust and it is sanitary.

Beautiful Knife, Amazing Service

Quality of the knife is outstanding, with the most beautiful blade and blue wood handle. I got a carbon steel blade with a layer of stainless over top everywhere except the cutting edge, giving the sharpness of a carbon blade with the durability of SS. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, and treated to a cup of tea after our purchase. I had already purchased several knives but the great interaction with the staff and beauty of the knife convinced me to buy another.

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
