The Iseya Santoku

Iseya knives are handmade by Yoshinori Seto using molybdenum stainless steel - a hand-hammered blade construction that ensures strength and integrity throughout the blade. Molybdenum stainless steel is a practical, high-performing alloy prized for its superior edge retention, sharpness, and stain resistance - an excellent choice for cooks who want Japanese blade performance with minimal maintenance. The santoku - meaning "three virtues" - handles meat, fish, and vegetables with equal confidence. Its flat-to-gently-curved edge suits both push cuts and light rocking, and the wide blade provides good knuckle clearance. At 180mm it is a compact, highly capable all-rounder suited to home and professional kitchens alike. The black pakka wood handle is durable, moisture-resistant, and comfortable in the hand.

Care & Maintenance

  • Hand wash only - never dishwasher
  • Dry immediately after each use
  • Hone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod
  • Sharpen on Japanese water stones
  • Do not use on frozen food or bones - the blade can chip
  • Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block - avoid loose drawers
