Seki Steel, Everyday Performance

Seki City has been producing blades for over 700 years - the same region that forged samurai swords now produces some of Japan's most respected kitchen knives. Shibamassa is one of the established makers in this tradition, and the V5 Santoku reflects that heritage: a clean, precise blade with a flat profile ideal for push-cutting through vegetables, proteins, and herbs. VG5 stainless steel offers good edge retention and easy maintenance - sharpen it on a whetstone and it comes back quickly. The walnut handle is comfortable and well-proportioned for the blade. At 172mm it's a versatile length that works equally well in compact home kitchens and professional prep environments.

Care and Maintenance

  • Hand wash only - never dishwasher
  • Dry immediately after washing
  • Hone regularly to maintain the edge
  • Sharpen on a whetstone when needed
  • Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife block
