“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.

Material Details

AUS-6 steel is a Japanese stainless steel produced by Aichi Steel Corporation, valued for its excellent rust resistance, toughness, and ease of sharpening. Its durability and low maintenance make it a versatile and reliable choice for everyday kitchen use, appreciated by home cooks and professional chefs alike.

Finish Details

The knife bears visible impressions of the hand-forging process (round hammer dents on the blade), which gives it a beautiful finish and also prevents food from sticking to the blade.
