Small Santoku. Big Performance.

The Ko (small) Santoku is the compact option for cooks who find a full-size Santoku too large - lighter, quicker, and easier to manoeuvre through herbs, small vegetables, and precise prep work. At just 95g, it's one of the lightest knives in the Tsunehisa range, making it ideal for extended prep sessions where fatigue is a concern. VG1 stainless holds a sharp, long-lasting edge with minimal maintenance - no rust risk, easy to sharpen on Japanese water stones. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash and dry - dishwasher not recommended
• Sharpen on Japanese water stones
• Hone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
