The name Santoku [三徳] means “three virtues” in Japanese, as its versatile blade is ideal for chopping vegetables and fruits, slicing through meats, and preparing fish. 100% handmade. Ultra-sharp Japanese 440C high-carbon stainless steel. Hidden full tang. Black pakkawood handle. HRC hardness: 59-60. Weight: 189g. Perfectly balanced. Stainless. Wooden Saya (sheath or blade cover) included with each knife. Lifetime warranty. The Santoku's thin blade allows precise and sharp cuts, never crushing even the most delicate food to preserve its full flavor. The “Tsuchime” 槌目 (hammered) pattern creates tiny pockets of air between the blade and the food being cut. This ancestral Japanese method reduces drag, thus preventing food from sticking to the blade. Its 1.8 mm thin blade allows precise and sharp cuts, never crushing even the most delicate food to preserve its full flavor.
