The Purity of White Steel in the All-Rounder

The Santoku's flat blade profile and blade height make it ideal for the push-cut style - clean, full-contact cuts through vegetables, proteins, and herbs without the rocking motion. Shirogami carbon steel takes a keener, more refined edge than stainless, making every cut cleaner and more precise. The stainless cladding protects the reactive core on the sides of the blade. Sharpens effortlessly on Japanese water stones. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Wipe dry immediately after use - the carbon steel core is reactive
• A natural patina will develop on the edge with use - this is normal and protects the steel
• Sharpen on Japanese water stones - takes an exceptionally fine edge
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing for extended periods
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
